Jarvis‰Ûª Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing teammate Billy Bolt also successfully completed the 2017 running of the three-day Sea to Sky event to finish fifth in the mountain race. Starting the competition in the best possible way with victory in the opening beach race, Billy then placed third in the mountain race to start the final day of racing confident of a strong result.
From a good start, Billy frustratingly made a mistake on one of the early obstacles, leaving the beach trailing the rest of the front row starters. Forced to bide his time on the dusty lower section of the track, as the climbs became more technical Billy, like Jarvis, started to work his way forward to reach to top of the Olympus Mountain in fifth position.
‰ÛÏI‰Ûªm really happy with how things have gone this week. I‰Ûªve made it to the finish three days in a row, relatively drama-free," Bolt said. "Compared to last year this has been a million times better. I got a good start today, but made a mistake on one of the obstacles on the beach. I ended up being last to leave the beach out of the top group and then into the forest the dust was unbelievable. I just had to sit behind and deal with it best I could. As things began to get more technical, towards the top, I was able to get past a few people. To finish in fifth after such a bad start is really good. It‰Ûªs been a good week, two podiums and a fifth ‰ÛÒ I can‰Ûªt complain with that. The results are getting better every race and my consistency is good, so I just have to keep doing what I‰Ûªm doing.‰Û
