It's in his birth city, Newcastle, that the Briton clinches his fourth star in the MotoZ FIM SuperEnduro World Championship. After an almost perfect season, BOLT remains on top of the world. He surpassed his compatriot Jonny WALKER and the German Manuel LETTENBICHLER. In the junior category, Ashton BRIGHTMORE is crowned, one year after his older brother.

Billy BOLT (GBR-Husqvarna) arrived in a position of strength for the grand finale of the 2024 season. With a lead of 59 points, he enters the last GP of the year with a safe gap on his main opponent. Jonny WALKER (GBR-Beta) managed, through superhuman effort, to push the battle to the grand finale at home for both men. But the suspense will be short-lived as BOLT, by winning the Akrapovic Superpole, secures his fourth Superenduro title after those won in 2020, 2022, and 2023. There was one more evening of competition to complete before celebrating this new crown. BOLT manages to refocus and wins the first race of the evening ahead of WALKER and Mitch BRIGHTMORE (GBR-GASGAS). The second race was a delight on all levels. The race saw several leaders before offering a sublime final showdown between BOLT and WALKER. The victory is decided in the last lap. Billy BOLT manages to clinch another victory in front of a captivated audience fully supportive of his cause. The last race will be a formality for the new quadruple world champion who wins his 7th GP of the season. The "stat" is fabulous as he sweeps 100% of the victories in 2024. The Briton seems to be at the peak of a wave he never wants to leave. His overwhelming dominance is only motivation for his opponents to want to improve to finally bring down "Billy the Dog."

In the season standings, Billy BOLT prevails ahead of Jonny WALKER and Mani LETTENBICHLER, who takes the bronze medal for his return to competition in SuperEnduro. The German seems determined to repeat in 2025 with the goal of improving the color of this medal. Jonny WALKER is also very satisfied with his season. He managed to win heats, which is an encouraging sign. The Briton is determined to come back even stronger next season.

Ashton BRIGHTMORE triumph at home GP

Ashton BRIGHTMORE (GBR-GASGAS) seemed not to realize that on March 2, 2024, he became the Junior world champion for the first time in his very young career. Yet this victory seemed promised to him as the TTR Squadra Corse rider left his mark on the season. Winner of 5 Grand Prix, he brilliantly took his brother Mitch's thrown in the category's honors list. He perfectly controlled the second half of the season. Suff SELLA (ISR-KTM) however, made his life difficult throughout the 2024 season. The Israeli can look proudly in the mirror. He was one of the few able to compete with the young BRIGHTMORE. The gold medal goes to the Englishman, SELLA takes silver. The third step of the class goes to Roland LISZKA (HUN-KTM). The KTM rider's consistency is rewarded, and he can look ahead to 2025 with ambition. The BRIGHTMORE family has dominated the last two seasons. The stage is set for a new champion next year in the exciting Junior category.
