Robbie Maddison victory march.
The sound of wailing motors rang through the tunnels around the famous bullfighting arena as the two-wheeled toreros raced towards the kickers at up to 45 miles per hour. It was Aussie superstar Robbie Maddison famous for starring in the Red Bull: New Year. No Limits. in 2007 and 2008, jumping over London s iconic Tower Bridge in 2009 and sailing across the Corinth Canal in Greece in 2010 who raised the bar yet again in the Spanish capital with a brand-new trick, completing one full rotation of his body over the bike while almost 50 feet in the air before returning to the saddle to nail the trick and ride away. The Volt Body Varial definitely helped me win, grinned the man from Down Under after his victory, adding: I still can t believe it!

Just weeks after beginning training following a major crash, Switzerland s Mat Rebeaud celebrated a comeback to remember as he defeated the local favorite and 2009 winner Dany Torres in the Semi-Finals. Despite having to settle for fourth place, the Spaniard had nothing but words of praise for the huge Madrid crowd and event winner Maddison: The atmosphere here is just insane. Next year I ll be back to take revenge, but Maddison deserved to win here tonight. Thank you to all the fans.

Third place went to Andr Villa, who managed to defend his lead in the overall points classification thanks to yet another strong performance. The Norwegian has a 45-point lead over Maddison going into the fifth stop of the season in London on August 14 at Battersea Power Station. I ve got to stay consistent and finish on the podium in London and at the season finale in Rome. If I manage to do that then nothing can stand between me and the overall title, commented Villa.
