Graham Jarvis scored his first win of 2015 to stop Jonny Walker claiming a hard enduro Grand Slam.
Graham Jarvis brought an epic hard enduro season to a close with victory at the Red Bull Sea to Sky.
With all eyes on Jonny Walker to see if he could wrap up the perfect season by winning in Turkey, Jarvis was determined to keep the Grand Slam out of reach for his fellow Brit.
In a reversal of fortune to when Walker stopped Jarvis clinching the Grand Slam in 2013, Jarvis became Walker's spoiler in the mix for 2015.
After his customary slow start, Jarvis got his head down exiting the canyon section. Up to third by half distance, he hunted down both Walker and Wade Young, who were trying to make a break for it.
I really wanted that win. It’s been a long season without one.
– Graham Jarvis
With the trio locked together, it looked like becoming a battle to the finish, but Jarvis had one card left up his sleeve to play. Gambling on the final refuel stop, he didn't pit and hit the front of the field as they headed towards the final mountain climb. Pulling clear, he crossed the finish-line as the clear and certain winner.
