Jun 30, 2025
It all comes down to a clash of titans for the title. The Young gun Jonny Walker versus the legend of hard enduro, Graham Jarvis. After 17 hours on the bikes, only 2.5 minutes set the two apart, making for the closest race in Romaniacs history. Can Jarvis catch last years champion from behind? Will Walker be able to outpace the legend? No doubt it's a nail bitter, so click play, hold your breath, and take a look at the best action from day 4 of racing in Romania.
The closest Romaniacs ever. Hours of riding comes down to today.
Defending champion Johnny Walker, hunted by the four-time winner,
Graeme Jarvis. Who will take the title?
After 17 hours on their bikes, only two and a half minutes separate Jarvis from Walker.
Jarvis will set off first. Johnny's task for the day is clear. Just catch Graeme Jarvis.
It's going to be an epic day. There's also a battle for third. Paul Bolton needs to make
up 15 minutes on Alfredo Gomez. And he's started well. By checkpoint three, he's halved the gap.
But all eyes are on the battle for the win. And it's already advantage Walker. He's caught Jarvis.
And he moves further ahead as he passes.
But Walker's first error of the day lets Jarvis back through.
As hard as Jarvis pushes, he can't escape Walker.
And the course still has plenty of surprises.
Wade Young shows just how quickly you can hit trouble.
The riders are approaching the final hill. And now Walker is leading once again.
But Walker goes down. He's forced to take the longer line around the hill,
which will cost him precious time. Jarvis has arrived. This hill climb has to be perfect.
And it is. This race is going right to the line. And there are more problems for Walker
meters from the finish. Walker can only watch as Jarvis passes.
And he's across the line. Will it be enough? He falls just short. It's a win for Walker.
Yeah, it feels awesome. I never actually like, you know, winning the first time was
unexpected. And then doing it again is unbelievable. I'm so happy.
It's the closest Romaniacs finish ever. Two minutes and 10 seconds, the winning margin.
A stunning finish.
I'm a bit upset, but, you know, I've ridden well. Couldn't have done any more.
And it's a good race for me. I was riding well. I was just kicking myself for the mistakes I made
in the first few days, really. Alfredo Gomez holds on to take third.
Two times here and two podiums. Unbelievable.
An astonishing finish to Red Bull Romaniacs. Paul Bolton and Wade Young complete the top five.
Win number four in 2015 for Johnny Walker.
And he's only two more away from the ultimate prize. An unprecedented hard enduro Grand Slam.
