Triumph Factory Racing’s Jonny Walker has delivered a strong fifth-place finish at the Red Bull Tennessee Knockout, tackling the demanding event aboard the TF 450-E. Lining up with some of the world’s leading hard enduro riders, Walker progressed through all three stages of Sunday’s knockout racing to secure his top-five result.
The weekend began on Saturday evening with the Pro Hot-Lap, with Walker posting the eighth-fastest time around the pro short course to secure his starting position for Sunday’s opening Knockout Race.
Jonny made a strong start to Sunday’s racing in Knockout Race One, completing the demanding pro long course in fourth place to comfortably progress into the second knockout stage. With the field reduced to five groups of six riders for Knockout Race Two, Walker again put in a strong performance to finish third in his group and secure his place in the 20-rider Final.
Starting the Final from the third row, Walker suffered an early crash which dropped him down the order. The Brit fought his way back through the field and ran in fourth for much of the 45-minute race, before a mistake on the final hill saw him cross the finish line fifth, securing fifth overall.
