JARVIS TAKES SEA TO SKY VICTORY
GRAHAM JARVIS
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing ’ s Graham Jarvis secured yet another extreme enduro victory , this time topping the 2020 edition of Sea to Sky . Delivering a winning performance on the final day ’ s Mountain Race , Graham notched up his sixth victory at the Turkish event . Graham ’ s teammate Billy Bolt dominated the event ’ s first three races , but a navigational error on the final day relegated him to third overall .
As always at Sea to Sky , Jarvis made a solid , but cautious start to the event . Claiming an impressive fifth in the hectic Beach Race , the 45-year-old then began to put on the pressure in the Forest Race , taking third and staying within touch of race leader Bolt . Despite a heavy impact with a rock damaging his bike , Jarvis was able to come home in fourth on the technically demanding Sky Race .
Going into Saturday ’ s Mountain Race , Jarvis was lying third overall , a minute down on second place and close to four minutes down on his teammate Bolt in first . In typical Jarvis style , the Brit kept his nerve and maintained a strong pace throughout the 55-kilometre course . Making no mistakes , the extreme enduro expert crested the final hill in first place and with enough of an advantage over his rivals to claim the overall win .
