RED BULL ROMANIACS ON BIG TRIUMPHS
Jonny Walker traded his regular ride for a
Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro for the 2025 event, as in a 900cc three-cylinder adventure bike. Not for the faint-hearted, you can watch the footage from your sofa but hang on tight … Racing in the Adventure Ultimate class, despite a glitch early on, he charged back up the field to finish a fine second in class. The shift to the bigger machines requires different technique and approach strategies but Walker took to it like a big cat to a scratching pole, shredding all the way. The video footage is awesome and made even more awesome when you pause to think about what he is riding as he chases down the‘ regular’ dirt machines and pulls off some brilliant passing moves. Also riding Triumph’ s big cat in the event’ s Adventure Light Class was Sam Sunderland, making his Triumph debut as well as a welcome return to racing. Unsurprisingly, Sunderland was competitive from the gun, winning not only the prologue but every stage from there to the finish.
