Red Bull Tyne Ride brings together some of the world’s best riders in a series of head-to-head competitions, with pros and wildcards competing to win over three rounds, before the final head-to-head decider.

This year’s event saw Newcastle’s own Billy Bolt crowned the winner. The hometown hero defeated fellow Red Bull athlete, Jonny Walker, in an epic final to claim victory in the second edition of the motorcycle head-to-head.

Free to the public, the event once again brought competitive head-to-head motorsport to the heart of the city, stretching the length of Quayside, watched by a crowd of thousands. The challenging course was complete with brutal technical challenges such as the boulder garden, log matrix, and Igloo Wall Ride.

It feels so good. I had to watch from the sidelines last year, so it gave me the opportunity to appreciate how big and how amazing this event is. But riding this year, there was only one goal in my mind and it’s nice to execute that.
