Jonny Walker’s grand slam bid begins on the beach

The Brit edged closer to his hard enduro grand slam by winning day one of Red Bull Sea to Sky.

Getting one of the most important weekends off his career off to a perfect start, Jonny Walker was almost untouchable in the wild and crazy Red Bull Sea to Sky beach race on the Turkish shoreline in Kemer.

Posting the fastest time in the morning qualification, Walker immediately set the tone for the evening's main event. Hot off the start, the KTM rider slotted himself inside the top three on the opening lap.

It got crazy in places but somehow I found a way through the madness

Going elbow-to-elbow with Andreas Lettenbichler, Walker fought his way into the lead on lap two. Putting enough distance between himself and the chasing pack, he avoided the chaos and carnage ensuing behind him to secure the win.
