Swapping places throughout the gruelling 11 lap race, a mistake on the penultimate lap by Walker, who at that point was in the lead was the deciding factor, with Bolt then taking control, and going on to take the win.
The lead duo were the only two racers to complete 11 laps with William Hoare in third place on 10 laps ahead of Joe Deakin in fourth, Jordan Scott fifth and Jono Richardson back from injury in sixth.
Ricky Wiggins was the lead Expert finishing in an impressive ninth overall as he continues to learn his Extreme enduro trade racing with the top riders. Ben Wibberley was the second Expert home with Dave Wood in third.
