A QUICK SUMMARY
Prestige
Despite Billy Bolt (GBR) extending his winning streak with another overall victory, the spotlight belonged to Jonny Walker (GBR), who secured Triumph’s first-ever SuperEnduro race win in Final 2. Walker’s impressive pace and consistency put him in contention for the overall win, but a costly crash in Final 3 handed the advantage back to Bolt, who claimed the top step once again. The Brightmore brothers (GBR), Mitch and Ashton, continued to impress, with Ashton earning his second consecutive podium finish. The final standings saw Bolt in 1st, Walker in 2nd, and Ashton Brightmore in 3rd overall.
Junior – Schmüser unstoppable as race for the World Cup tightens
Milan Schmüser continued his winning streak from Łódź, sweeping all three races and tightening the fight for the Junior World Cup title. Marc Fernandez Serra challenged him in every final, but mistakes cost him the overall victory, leaving him in 2nd place.

With Schmüser now in serious contention for the title, the battle for the Junior title is heating up.
Youth – Ramón Godino Gómez untouchable again

Timed Practice

Based on regulations, the second-best time became the deciding factor, favouring Mitch Brightmore, who earned the final SuperPole run. Meanwhile, Championship leader Billy Bolt slightly struggled in Timed Practice, only managing 4th place, setting the stage for an unpredictable night of racing.
SuperPole

Final 1 – Bolt controls the chaos, penalties shake up results
The first turn in Budapest allowed for an aggressive line, and Jonny Walker took full advantage, diving wide to shut the door on Mitch Brightmore. This move led to a crash involving Mitch Brightmore and Dominik Olszowy (POL), forcing both riders to fight their way back through the pack.
At the front, Billy Bolt grabbed the Holeshot, quickly setting a blistering pace and pulling away from the field. Walker tried to chase him down, but couldn’t close the gap, securing 2nd place.
Ashton Brightmore ran strong in 3rd, while Toby Martyn (GBR) was having his best race of the season in 4th place, until a massive case on the biggest jump ruined his momentum.
Race penalties played a major role, as several riders – including Bolt and Walker – received 10-second penalties for jumping under yellow flags. However, these penalties didn’t affect the top 3 because their lead was large enough.
Bolt took the win, Walker finished 2nd, and Ashton Brightmore claimed 3rd. Diogo Vieira (POR) surprised with a strong 4th place finish. Martyn finished the race in 10th, while Olszowy DNF’d due to a throttle issue sustained in his early crash.

Final 3 – Walker’s crash hands Bolt the win
Heading into the last final, Walker was in prime position for the overall victory, but a mistake at the start changed everything. He lost control entering turn 1, crashing and dropping to the back of the pack.
This opened the door for Bolt, who took early control of the race and never looked back, securing his fifth overall win of the season.
Mitch and Ashton Brightmore battled fiercely for 3rd place, but Walker mounted a heroic comeback, eventually passing Ashton to take 3rd.
In the end, Mitch Brightmore defended 2nd place, while Walker’s 3rd-place finish was just enough to secure 2nd overall for the night. Ashton Brightmore completed the podium in 3rd.

SuperPole

Jonny Walker (GBR) capitalized on this, setting the fastest lap with 49.149 s, finally claiming a SuperPole win this season and earning 3 points.
Eddie Karlsson (SWE) secured third place with 49.714 s, grabbing the last available point.
Mitch Brightmore (GBR) clocked a competitive 50.214 s, taking fourth, just outside the points.

Mitch Brightmore grabbed the holeshot but in the end yielded to the pressure from Billy Bolt, who played a calculated race this time, waiting for the right moment to take the lead. From then on, Bolt controlled the race to secure his first victory of the night.
Eddie Karlsson, aboard his electric Stark Varg, took full advantage of the latest revisions to the FIM Balance of Power for electric bikes, finishing in 2nd place, just under 5 seconds behind Bolt. Mitch rounded out the podium in 3rd, followed by his younger brother Ashton Brightmore.

In the reversed-grid race, Dominik Olszowy shone bright and despite starting from the second row, took the holeshot – a feat rarely seen in SuperEnduro history! Cheered on by the Polish fans, Olszowy built a commanding lead and seemed set for victory.
However, 3 laps from the end, Olszowy started making small mistakes, which paired with the effects of his recent injury slowed him down noticeably. Billy Bolt and Ashton Brightmore caught up with Olszowy on the rock section, making a dramatic double overtake.
Bolt, using his signature precision and technique, executed a one-wheel pirouette on a large rock, brushing the inside track barrier to take the lead. He then fended off a determined Ashton Brightmore, who was hungry for his first Prestige class moto win.

The track was a prime example of what a SuperEnduro track should be. Demanding, thrilling, and unforgiving. The infamous soft Polish soil created deep ruts, making every corner a test of skill and endurance.
Jonny Walker, determined to claim victory after an amazing SuperPole performance and two tough motos, rocketed off the start line, with Billy Bolt roaring close behind. The battle raged as the two went wheel-to-wheel, but a mistake on the rock section cost Walker the lead, allowing Bolt to push to front. The Brightmore brothers smelled blood and launched an all-out attack.
What followed was a high-intensity four-rider battle that had fans on their feet. Ashton Brightmore seized the lead momentarily, but the reigning king of SuperEnduro, Billy Bolt, executed a bold move on the stairs to reclaim the top spot. Despite relentless pressure from Ashton Brightmore, Bolt held firm, securing yet another clean sweep. Ashton Brightmore crossed the line less than one second behind, with Walker 3rd and Mitch Brightmore 4th.
Amidst the thrilling battle at the front, drama unfolded further back. Dominik Olszowy’s race ended early as persistent mechanical issues forced him to push his bike back to the paddock, leaving the Polish fans heartbroken.

The session was a near carbon copy of Round 1, with Jonny Walker (GBR) in 2nd with a 41.351 on the Triumph and Eddie Karlsson (SWE) in 3rd with a 42.121 on the electric Stark Future. This gave Bolt 3 points, Walker 2 points, and Karlsson 1 point heading into the finals.
Final 1
Jonny Walker kept the pressure on Billy Bolt throughout the race, but Bolt found better lines toward the end and built a 4-second lead to claim the win. Behind them, Eddie Karlsson battled with Dominik Olszowy (POL) for 3rd place. Olszowy, who had been riding consistently despite not finding top pace in practice lost a couple of spots by making an unexpected mistake on the bridge, thereby handing 3rd place to Karlsson. This marked the first-ever podium for an electric bike in the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship!
Final 2
In the reverse-grid race, Cooper Abbott (USA) took the Diverse holeshot and held the lead early. Dominik Olszowy and Jonny Walker quickly overtook Abbott, but Walker’s front wheel washed out just before the finish line on lap two, forcing him off the track and out of the race. Billy Bolt, starting without a rush, steadily worked his way to the front. By lap five, he passed both Abbott and Olszowy, pulling away for his second win of the night. Abbott’s mistake late in the race allowed Mitchell Brightmore (GBR) to claim third after a fierce battle with his brother Ashton Brightmore (GBR).
Final 3
Jonny Walker made a strong comeback, claiming the holeshot and setting a quick pace. Bolt, however, fought his way past Olszowy with some difficulty and then Walker, who struggled with mistakes in the rock section. Bolt completed a perfect score for the night (1-1-1), taking the overall win. Olszowy’s consistent performance (4-2-3) earned him 2nd overall, while Walker (2-DNF-2) managed to secure 3rd.
THE REST OF PACK
Mitchell Brightmore and his younger brother Ashton Brightmore battled fiercely for the podium, with Mitch coming out on top in 4th overall, while Ashton finished 6th.
Eddie Karlsson, who impressed with a 3rd place SuperPole time and a historic podium in the first final for Stark Future, struggled with consistency in the remaining finals, still ending the night in 5th overall, tied on points with Mitch Brightmore.
Cooper Abbott showed improvement in finals 2 and 3 but was pushed to 7th overall due to early mistakes in the 1st final.
William Hoare (GBR) is still searching for his rhythm this season. The TTR rider finished 8th overall, but his talent suggests there’s more to come as the Championship progresses.
German favorite Tim Apolle (GER) showed potential during track previews but ended up mid-pack, finishing 10th overall.
Newcomer and trials rider turned SuperEnduro competitor Toby Martyn (GBR) is beginning to find his pace on the demanding indoor tracks. He rode with confidence throughout the evening, signaling good potential for future rounds, ending the day in 11th overall.
JUNIOR WORLD CUP
Final 1
The Junior class provided non-stop excitement with unpredictable results.
In the first final, Marc Fernandez Serra (ESP) capitalized on early chaos to secure a solid victory.
Final 2
The reverse grid start threw Marc Fernandez Serra, Milan Schmüser (GER) and Roland Liszka (HUN) into the first turn mayhem as they struggled to get through huge tires. Álex Puey (ESP), the points leader, seemed poised to gain but stumbled with repeated crashes, opening the door for Burts Crayston’s (GBR) consistent performance finishing strongly despite some challenges. The highlight came when Szymon Kus (POL) made a stunning last-lap pass to seize the final 2 win.
Final 3
Heading into final 3, the Junior World Cup standings were too close to call. In the final moto, Marc Fernandez Serra stayed composed and avoided mistakes, riding to victory and claiming the overall win. Szymon Kus finished 2nd on the night, with Burts Crayston completing the podium in the 3rd, marking a maiden podium for all three riders.
YOUTH WORLD CUP
Final 1
The Youth 125cc class once again delivered spectacular racing. Ramón Godino Gómez (ESP) extended his points lead after benefitting from a late crash by Michał Laska (POL) in the first final.
Final 2
Godino Gómez’s hopes for the night unraveled after an early fall in moto two. Laska rebounded impressively to win the second final and claim the overall victory, with Fraiser Lampkin (GBR) finishing 2nd and Connor Watson (GBR) completing the podium in 3rd.
FIM EUROPE CUP
German rider Fynn Hannemann (GER) thrilled the home crowd with a stellar performance, earning the overall win in the FIM Europe Cup. Consistent finishes in both finals secured his spot on the top step of the podium, celebrated with the German national anthem.
Barnabás Csizmazia (HUN) impressed with back-to-back 2nd place finishes, claiming the overall runner-up position. Edward Hübner completed the podium with a 6-3 result.
Norbert Zsigovits, the Round 1 FIM Europe Cup winner, struggled in Riesa, finishing 8th overall. Hannemann’s win pushed Zsigovits down to 2nd in the FIM Europe Cup standings.

FIM SuperEnduro World Championship in Gliwice – A new chapter in SuperEnduro history
Polish fans will long remember the opening round of the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship. Sport UP Agency ushered in a new chapter in SuperEnduro history at PreZero Arena in Gliwice, highlighted by Olszowy’s spectacular performance.
Anticipation for the new FIM SuperEnduro World Championship season had been building long before the first round. This year, the Gliwice PreZero Arena made a triumphant return as a host venue. Round 1 of the SuperEnduro series broke new ground, featuring the first-ever showdown between electric and combustion motorcycles at a competition of this level. Adding to the excitement, the starting lists in every class were stacked with talent, promising high-octane action
- A fiercely competitive Prestige class lineup.
- The always-thrilling Junior and FIM Europe Cup categories.
- The exciting debut of the all-new Youth class.
The inaugural stop of the 2024/2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship delivered in spectacular fashion. A record-breaking 82 riders from 15 countries battled on the track, thrilling fans with their exceptional performances both inside the arena and online via the PlayLive platform.
A historic electric debut
Electric motorcycles made their first appearance alongside combustion bikes thanks to the efforts of the promoter, FIM, cooperation with the motorcycle industry, including STARK FUTURE.
The debut of electric bikes was highly anticipated, and after a year-long break, Taddy Błażusiak (POL) was cleared to compete on his STARK VARG, but due to certain restrictions, his performance was less fortunate than expected, leaving fans hoping for more.
However, Eddie Karlsson (SWE) impressed with a strong result in SuperPole and consistent performances in the three finals, proving that electric bikes can successfully and safely compete with combustion bikes on a SuperEnduro track.
Prestige Class: Bolt vs. Olszowy
Saturday evening kicked off with the SuperPole race, where four-time FIM SuperEnduro World Champion Billy Bolt (GBR) clocked the fastest lap time. Jonny Walker (GBR) secured second place, while Eddie Karlsson (SWE) impressed with a strong third-place finish.
In the first final of the opening round of the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship, Bolt put on a masterclass, delivering a commanding performance to claim a dominant victory. Jonny Walker followed in second, unable to match Bolt’s blistering pace, while Dominik Olszowy (POL) completed the first final in third.
The second final, however, told a different story. Dominik Olszowy seized his moment. Starting from the second row, he made an incredible charge to the front. With the home crowd’s deafening support behind him, Olszowy held off relentless pressure from Bolt. Despite Bolt’s repeated attempts to overtake – including a few that pushed him off the track – Olszowy remained calm and consistent, earning his first-ever Prestige class moto win in breathtaking style. Jonny Walker finished second again, while Ashton Brightmore (GBR), making his debut in the Prestige class, took an impressive third, with Bolt settling for fourth.
In the third and final race, Bolt reasserted his dominance. With a flawless ride from start to finish, he claimed victory and secured the overall win for the night. Olszowy finished second in the race and earned a well-deserved second place overall. Walker, despite a mishap that saw his chain come off mid-air in the third race, managed to secure third place on the overall podium.
Notably, motivated and eager to compete in the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship, Cooper Abbott (USA) made a strong impression with 4th, 7th, and 6th-place finishes across the three finals, ending up 5th overall. Abbott demonstrated that he can go head-to-head with SuperEnduro’s top riders and is sure to be a serious threat to his rivals as the series progresses.
Junior Class: A New Era
The Junior class delivered incredible excitement. A generational shift was evident as last year’s champion, Ashton Brightmore, moved up to the Prestige class. The young riders brought incredible energy and determination, delivering fierce battles and thrilling moments that kept the standings unpredictable.
In the end, it was the most consistent rider, Toby Shaw (GBR), who emerged victorious. Àlex Puey (ESP) impressed with a dominant ride in the first final and a strong second-place finish in the third, earning him the runner-up spot overall. Marc Fernandez Serra (ESP) also performed consistently to complete the Junior class podium.
Szymon Kuś (POL) showed great pace, battling for the lead twice during the event and demonstrating his potential despite some setbacks. Milan Schmüser (GER) also displayed his fighting spirit, finishing with solid points after challenges in the first two races.
Youth class – An impressive debut
The debut of the Youth class opened the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship to 125cc motorcycles. Riders aged 14 to 18 showcased incredible skills and thrilling battles in Gliwice.
Ramon Godino Gomez (ESP) and Connor Watson (GBR) took top two spots on the podium, respectively, while Polish fans had much to cheer for as Michał Laska (POL) claimed third place overall with two third-place finishes.
FIM Europe Cup – Zsigovits dominates
The FIM Europe Cup also delivered excitement, despite Norbert Zsigovits’s (HUN) dominance. Zsigovits was untouchable in both finals, but the fight for the remaining podium spots was fierce. Intense multi-rider battles saw Fynn Hannemann (GER) and Alessandro Azzalini (ITA) secure the second and third places, respectively.

Błażusiak and Karlsson to compete in the World Championship
Stark Future Racing is set to debut at the 2024/2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship, with the opening round in Gliwice, Poland, on December 14th. The team will bring electric technology to the international SuperEnduro stage for the first time, fielding the Stark VARG against combustion engines in the top Prestige class.
Leading the charge is six-time SuperEnduro champion and legend Taddy Blazusiak, returning to the arena where he claimed six consecutive titles. Joining him is Eddie Karlsson, Scandinavia’s top competitor, whose background in Trials makes him a formidable presence in SuperEnduro’s demanding conditions.
Taddy Blazusiak: “I’m super-happy that we have the green light to go racing, and we have made the most out of the last year in terms of bike development and we are in a good spot. Of course, we don’t quite know where we are in comparison to the others yet…but we’ve been competitive in a few pre-season races. (...)”
Eddie Karlsson: “I’m really happy to be racing with Stark Future Racing this year and also happy for the team after all the work that has been done so far. I think we’ll have a pretty good chance to get some results and will give the gasoline bikes the best race we can. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Electric Motorcycles and New Youth Class debut in the 2024/2025 Season!
Electric motorcycles will line up at the starting gate of the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship for the first time ever, marking a new chapter for the world of motorsport!
This season will also introduce a new Youth class, welcoming young riders aged 14–18, competing on 125cc motorcycles.
Bringing electric motorcycles into SuperEnduro is a groundbreaking achievement. It comes from close collaboration between the FIM, the series’ new promoter, Sport UP Agency, and leading electric motorcycle manufacturers. While only the Prestige class will feature electric bikes, this marks a bold new direction, setting the stage for one of the most innovative and thrilling seasons in the history of this dynamic sport.
“Opening the door for electric motorcycles in SuperEnduro required meticulous coordination of safety and technical requirements. Thanks to successful collaboration between the FIM, manufacturers, and Sport UP Agency, we have developed solutions that allow electric bikes to compete in the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship. This will undoubtedly elevate the excitement of SuperEnduro and take competition to the next level. Currently, electric motorcycles are only allowed in SuperEnduro, which shows how unique the upcoming season is going to be” – said Tomasz Gagat, CEO of Sport UP Agency.
Jorge Viegas, FIM President added: “This is an exciting new chapter for the FIM, with electric motorcycles coming into SuperEnduro alongside combustion motorcycles. This is a natural evolution for the FIM having already introduced this technology into MotoE, Trial and E-Xplorer. For this to happen the FIM has invested time and research to find the correct balance in performance between the two competing technologies, so they can race side by side fairly and safely. To allow electric motorcycles into the Prestige class we have created new requirements, rules and safety standards including track stipulations to avoid any kind of bias towards either combustion or electric. Finally, the Prestige class remains open to all teams and motorcycles that comply with the existing regulations, so I am sure it is going to be an interesting and thrilling season of racing.”
The 2024/2025 season will also debut the Youth class, providing young riders aged 14–18 with the chance to compete on 125cc motorcycles. The new FIM Youth SuperEnduro World Cup aims to nurture young talent, offering them opportunities to develop and race in the same arenas and on the same tracks as the pros, helping grow the next generation of SuperEnduro champions.
The inclusion of electric motorcycles in the Prestige class and the launch of the Youth class symbolize both the evolution of motorsport and the commitment of the FIM and Sport UP Agency to the development of SuperEnduro. It also provides an exciting opportunity to attract a new generation of riders and fans.
The 2024/2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship will be one of the most thrilling and groundbreaking seasons yet. Fans can expect unforgettable racing action and a captivating blend of tradition and innovation.
Get ready for a new era of SuperEnduro – dynamic, innovative, and full of young talent!
Walker signs with Triumph!
The Triumph Racing Enduro Team has announced the signing of elite enduro racer Jonny Walker. The British athlete is set to take on the full upcoming 2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship. After three consecutive runner-up finishes in SuperEnduro, Walker is targeting the top step of the podium in 2025 under the guidance of newly appointed Team Manager, motorsport legend Paul Edmondson.
With a background in trials and over 15 years of enduro racing under his belt, Jonny brings a wealth of experience to Triumph Racing. As a three-time Red Bull Erzbergrodeo winner and multiple SuperEnduro race victor, he has proven his ability to win at the highest level. Under the leadership of former world champion Paul Edmondson, Jonny is focused on capturing his first world championship title with Triumph Racing.
Jonny Walker: “I’m really excited to join Triumph! To be the first rider to represent Triumph Racing in enduro is special. It’s amazing to be part of the team, and I’m looking forward to working with Triumph going forward. My bike feels great already, which makes my job a lot easier! It’s great to have Paul Edmondson on board too, he has so much experience, not only in running successful teams in the past, but in racing himself, which will be invaluable. Having a British manager running a British team, with a British rider, is really exciting and something you don’t get very often. Hopefully we can make a strong start, put the bike on the top step, and claim some championships!”
Ian Kimber – Head of Global Racing Programmes, Triumph Motorcycles: “Signing Jonny is a massive step for us in building our enduro programme. As one of the top riders in the sport, we know that he will demonstrate the capability of our enduro bikes in the best possible way. Changing to a four-stroke will obviously require some adjustment for Jonny, but initial testing has been incredibly positive, and he is confident that the bike is already prepared for competition at the highest level. Giving Jonny the backing of our Triumph Racing Factory Team, and the help and guidance of Paul, will ensure that he has the best possibility of winning and challenging for titles.”
Paul Edmondson – Triumph Racing Enduro Team Manager: “The signing of Jonny is the icing on the cake! The fact we can offer a great bike with full factory support means, to me, that there’s only one way for him to go – fighting for race wins and championships. It is a great signing in many ways, and we as a team are very excited to work with such a great rider and person with so much potential!"

Billy BOLT is the Akrapovic Super Pole master!
MAgd_34509u8_len_Super345
The British rider has become SuperEnduro world champion for the 4th time in his career. The Husqvarna official is a very complete rider capable of being formidable in races but also the fastest on a single lap. In 2024, Billy BOLT once again excelled in the Akrapovic Superpole exercise. He is the best performer this season.
In seven grand prix races, Billy BOLT (GBR-Husqvarna) won the Superpole four times. Jonny WALKER (GBR-Beta) in Riesa and Budapest, and Eddie KARLSSON (SWE-Husqvarna) in Cluj managed to deny him the pole position in one round of the MotoZ FIM SuperEnduro World Championship. Even though the final victory belongs to him, BOLT didn’t have it easy. For his national GP, the world champion was determined not to let anyone take away his first place. Eddie KARLSSON finished last in the final Superpole of the season (46.270). The Swede made a small mistake in the Matrix. The Nordic rider took the time to greet the fans as he finished his lap. He was overtaken by Manuel LETTENBICHLER (GER-KTM), the rider of the Austrian brand also had a slight mishap (43.273). The Utilita Arena’s stone garden was a bit tricky, and the German was one of its victims. Diogo VIEIRA (POR-GASGAS) once again joined the top seven in the race for the best time. The Portuguese also came very close to a major mistake, losing a few hundredths in this mishap (36.255). This was enough for Mitch BRIGHTMORE (GBR-GASGAS) to surpass him in the standings. Fourth in this superpole for his national GP (36.244), the 2023 Junior world champion can be satisfied with his first season among the elite. Will HOARE (GBR-Rieju) tried everything to finish on the final podium of the championship. Third in qualification (35.423), the English rider finished fourth overall behind the three top contenders of the season. Jonny WALKER (GBR-Beta) finished second in the last Superpole of the season (34.355). Making constant progress, the privateer wants to become even stronger next season. Billy BOLT wins the last pole position of the season (34.264). He takes home the €1500 prize offered by Akrapovic, rewarding the best performer of the season.
Final standings: 1. Billy BOLT 16 pts; 2. Jonny WALKER 12 pts; 3. Dominik OLSZOWY 4 pts; 3. Eddie KARLSSON 4 pts; 3. Manuel LETTENBICHLER 4 pts; 6 Diogo VIEIRA 2 pts, 7. Will HOARE 1pt…
Billy BOLT, world champion for the fourth time
MAgd_34509u8_len_Super345
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.
Final standings:
Prestige: 1. Billy BOLT 427 pts; 2. Jonny WALKER 354 pts; 3. Manuel LETTENBICHLER 287 pts; 4. Will HOARE 240 pts; 5. Mitch BRIGHTMORE 230 pts
Junior: 1. Ashton BRIGHTMORE 385 pts; 2. Suff SELLA 354 pts; 3. Roland LISZKA 274 pts; 4. Marc FERNANDEZ SERRA 258 pts; etc…
United Kingdom 2024 - Highlights
A perfect way to end the series!
Billy Bolt became Champion in front of his home crowd during the Akrapovic Exhaust System Super Pole and won all three Motos... What a great night of racing it was for all the boys! And what a crowd!
Billy Bolt Nails It in Newcastle
MAgd_34509u8_len_Super345
Billy BOLT (GBR-Husqvarna) continues to break records and become a true legend of his sport. The Brit won his seventh Grand Prix of the season with yet another hattrick. In fact, in 2024 BOLT took 100% of the overall victories. With the entire Utilita Arena in his home town of Newcastle behind him, BOLT used his skill and near-flawless riding to ensure nobody else could get a look in. His title celebrations started immediately after his hot Akrapovic SuperPole lap, which was enough to give him the last three points he needed to be crowned. The factory Husqvarna rider was jubilant in front an adoring crowd and he was able to enjoy the rest of the evening without any pressure. During the first race he rushed to the Airoh Holeshot, although a small mistake put Jonny WALKER (GBR-Beta) in the driving seat momentarily. But the quadruple world champion was back at the front in a flash. WALKER then found himself under threat from a flying Mitch BRIGHTMORE (GBR-GASGAS). However, WALKER managed to cross the finish line in front of his young compatriot as Race 1 saw a British 1-2-3.
Race 2: One of the season’s best!
The second heat of the night offered a spectacle that will go down as one of the greatest moments of the 2024 season. The race was peppered with twists, turns and unpredictability. Billy BOLT held back at the start as he often does with the reverse grid races, while out in the lead Jonny WALKER took control, overtaking Manuel LETTENBICHLER (GER-KTM) and looking ever stronger with each obstacle. It looked like WALKER might get to enjoy a race victory on home soil, but a slightly crazy end to the race shook up the rankings in the second final. A mistake for BOLT in the rocks handed the Beta rider a decent lead, but the number 57 rider is not one to give up easily and, supported by 6,500 spectators, BOLT made a fantastic comeback on WALKER who made a mistake one lap from the finish. The two 2024 opponents battled shoulder-to-shoulder for a few turns, bringing the arena to its feet. Billy BOLT, as usual, had the last word, getting the better of WALKER who is also overtaken by LETTENBICHLER.
The last race was a mere formality for the 2024 champion who expressed his joy in his riding and in his celebrations. Just as in Race 2, he won Race 3 ahead of LETTENBICHLER and WALKER. The final GP result was the same as the final title standings: BOLT, WALKER, LETTENBICHLER.
Billy BOLT is 2024 World Champion, while Jonny WALKER takes the silver medal and ‘LETTI’ brings home bronze. This last race of 2024 reflected the spectacular and competitive season enjoyed by riders and fans alike. Congratulations to all the riders for a magnificent season. BOLT will now be able to think about treating his damaged knee and coming back even stronger in 2025…and who will be ready to challenge him?
Ashton BRIGHTMORE Shines His Way to the Title
At just 17 years old Ashton BRIGHTMORE (GBR-GASGAS) accomplished his mission perfectly, winning the title in the Junior category. Without so much as a wheel out of place, the younger brother of Mitch BRIGHTMORE (2023 Junior World Champion) showed unfailing composure throughout the season and on the most important night of the year. The GASGAS rider won the first race of the evening with authority and a huge standings lead over Israel’s Suff SELLA (KTM). Despite finishing an uncharacteristic seventh in the first race, SELLA reacted well by putting enormous pressure on BRIGHTMORE during the second race. The two men were wheel to wheel in the final turns of the race. SELLA let go in the melee and BRIGHTMORE headed towards his second success of the evening, which gave him the title of Junior World Champion. This latest triumph for the BRIGHTMORE family was celebrated in a wave of emotion which was plain for everyone in the arena to see. In just two seasons, the two brothers have emerged as two of the most talented riders in the sport. MITCH and ASHTON perfectly embody the bright future of the MotoZ FIM SuperEnduro World Championship. The last round was won, in a burst of pride, by Suff SELLA who offered superb competition to BRIGHTMORE. Since his severe leg break last year, SELLA has proved himself as a fierce and skilled competitor and he offered up many great fights in 2024. Unbeatable BRIGHTMORE wins gold, while silver goes to SELLA. Roland LISZKA (HUN-KTM) resisted the return of Marc FERNANDEZ SERRA (ESP-KTM), and the young Hungarian won the bronze medal in the junior category.
In the manufacturers’ ranking, HUSQVARNA wins another world title, BETA is second ahead of GASGAS and RIEJU, KTM completes the Top 5. This last round of the season marked the last race of the long term promoters of SuperEnduro: ABC Communication is withdrawing from the discipline after 12 years at the head of the world championship: 54 GPs, 15 countries visited and some incredible pages written in the off-road racing history book. A big thank you to Alain and Bastien BLANCHARD for these amazing years of competition.
What they said:
Billy Bolt: “With the thrill of the title I’d forgotten about all the pain, the leg injury and everything I went through! That’s next week’s problem. But to be honest, when I was lying on the ground in Germany after getting injured in that practice session I was in a bad place in my head. But I have an amazing team of people around me, we made good decisions together, we survived and I’ve won the title again. Massive credit to the promoters, ABC Communications, because the sport has grown so much since I started and to win at home in front of a sold-out crowd of amazing fans is an absolute dream.”
Jonny Walker: “I feel like I’m riding well, and I just need to change a few things, get rid of a few mistakes. I’m really looking forward to next year, and I’ll be giving it my all. I’m hoping to have a bit more support from Beta next year, it’s been tough being a privateer, but overall I’m pleased with how things have gone. All credit to Billy, he’s a beast and was just unbeatable.”
Ashton Brightmore “It really means a lot to win this title, it hasn’t sunk in yet but at the same time I’m absolutely buzzing. Winning it a year after my brother is special, as a family we work really hard, and to follow in Mitch’s footsteps is so great. It’s going to be interesting to fight it out in Prestige next year! It won’t be easy and I have a lot to learn, but I’m always up for a challenge!”
The Paths of Glory
MAgd_34509u8_len_Super345
Billy BOLT is now just three rounds away from his fourth world title in the MotoZ FIM SuperEnduro World Championship. As if to celebrate his potential triumph, it’s Newcastle, his birth city, hosting the grand finale of 2024.
Billy BOLT (GBR-Husqvarna) enters the final showdown of the season in a position of strength. The Briton holds a 59-point lead over his closest competitor: Jonny WALKER (GBR-Beta). The privateer has managed to maintain suspense until the finale. However, WALKER knows his title chances are very slim. BOLT only needs to win the first heat to become world champion for the fourth time in his career! Nevertheless, both men will still put on a fierce performance for the numerous fans who will fervently support them.
But the Prestige category has plenty to offer on this final round. The battle for third place, notably between Manuel LETTENBICHLER (GER-KTM) and another Briton, Will HOARE (Rieju). The Spanish brand rider is chasing the official KTM boy and is 32 points behind. Last weekend in Bulgaria seems to have given HOARE a second wind as he attempts to reach the final podium. Another battle featuring a British rider is between Dominik OLSZOWY (POL-Rieju) and Mitch BRIGHTMORE (GBR-GASGAS). The two former Junior World Champions (2021 vs 2023) are tied perfectly with 191 points. Whoever finishes ahead of the other in Newcastle will be ranked among the top five in the world in the discipline! We will also keep an eye on the usual leaders of the pack. Eddie KARLSSON (SWE-Husqvarna) will he have been able to replace his broken engine or could he simply come to race in Great Britain on an entirely new bike (or brand) ? The Swede showed a conquering spirit in the last GP. Along his path will, as usual, stand the valiant Diogo VIEIRA (POR-GASGAS) or even a Tim APOLLE (GER-Beta) boosted by his race in Sofia. Everything seems to be falling into place on a track concocted by Paul EDMONDSON and his teams. A finale that promises to be grandiose to close a season that was spectacular in every way.
BRIGHTMORE YEAR 2?
This simple question to find out if the name BRIGHTMORE will still shine in the Junior category for another year? Mitch was crowned last year and his younger brother Ashton is on the verge of succeeding him if he doesn’t make irreparable mistakes in his national Grand Prix. The young Briton holds a 26-point lead over the swift Suff SELLA (ISR-KTM). Will this lead be enough for BRIGHTMORE to conquer and retain the title within the family circle? The 17-year-old has been relentless for three GPs, winning three consecutive victories! Mentally affected, Suff SELLA showed signs of being very shaken during BRIGHTMORE‘s last victory in Bulgaria. Did he need this wake-up call to find his way and win the first world title for a representative of the Middle East?
Roland LISZKA (HUN-KTM) now only has a 14-point lead over Marc FERNANDEZ SERRA (ESP-KTM) who is finishing the season strongly. Will the Hungarian manage to retain the bronze medal against the fiery Spaniard? Both boys will have to beware of Milan SCHMUESER (GER-Sherco), more determined than ever to salvage his season by finishing 2024 on another podium.
Junior or Prestige, both categories should offer an extraordinary spectacle to bid farewell to ABC Communication, the historic promoter of the MotoZ FIM SuperEnduro World Championship. Bastien and Alain BLANCHARD will leave the SuperEnduro arenas after over 12 years of presence alongside the greatest riders of the discipline.”
See you at the turn one!
MAgd_34509u8_len_Super345
In 2024, the promoters of the MotoZ FIM SuperEnduro World Championship decided, in collaboration with their partner Airoh, to reward riders who master the art of getting off to a good start. The Airoh Holeshot rewards riders who lead the pack through the first turn. This award is given in the premier category: Prestige, as well as in the Junior category to provide extra motivation to the young SuperEnduro class.
What a night it was for the Bulgarian Grand Prix for Billy BOLT ! The three-time world champion once again achieved a clean sweep, winning the Superpole, all 3 finals, and pocketing the best starter trophy! The Sofia track was a debut for the Bulgarian Motorcycle Federation perfectly driven by Ivo TSVETANOV for the event. The track offered a great mix of speed and technical sections. Right after the start, the competitors entered a sandy section immediately followed by a hairpin and the jump over the finish line. After a chicane with logs, a huge gravel pit made grip tricky. This was followed by another sandy section before a long straight entirely made up of rocks! Another hairpin led to a long and tricky matrix section because of its length and close spacing. The last sector still presented a significant challenge with a pyramid and a mini downhill rocky section. Then it was back to the starting area! Many victim got stuck in the clutches of the Sofia Arena track.
Billy BOLT (GBR-Husqvarna) made no mistakes in this 6th race of the season. He was very efficient at the start and led Eddie KARLSSON (SWE-Husqvarna) and Dominik OLSZOWY (POL-Rieju) in his tail. The race was uneventful for the Briton who won his first Bulgarian final. He finished ahead of LETTENBICHLER (GER-KTM) and KARLSSON! In the second heat, Will HOARE (GBR-Rieju) took the lead under the Airoh gate and scored the second holeshot of the evening. He was followed by Tim APOLLE (GER-Beta) who had an exemplary heat. BOLT won ahead of LETTENBICHLER and OLSZOWY!
In the last heat, the dominance of the official Husqvarna team never wavered for a moment! BOLT took the last holeshot. This time it was Diogo VIEIRA (POR-GASGAS) and LETTENBICHLER who followed him closely. We all know how the story ends: victory for Billy BOLT. This time the Briton prevailed ahead of HOARE and Mitch BRIGHTMORE (GBR-GASGAS). Too weakened in Bulgaria, Jonny WALKER (GBR-Beta) will have three more heats to try to challenge the boss Billy BOLT!
In Junior, Roland LISZKA (H – KTM) took the best with two Holeshots out of three starts! Third Airoh Holeshot Award of the season for the young Hungarian rider!
See you in a few days in Newcastle for a British GP that already promises to be very emotional.
Billy BOLT close to the Award!
MAgd_34509u8_len_Super345
The three-time world champion set the reference time in the intense Akrapovic Superpole of the Bulgarian GP. By setting this explosive time, Billy BOLT take the advantage on Jonny WALKER in the race for the best performer trophy on a single lap!
Last in the top 7 of the Bulgarian Superpole is Mitch BRIGHTMORE (GBR-GASGAS). The 2023 Junior World Champion once again enters the Superpole. Cautious and focused, he fails to break the 40-second barrier (40.040), which would have secured him a higher position. He has a solid GP finishing 5th. Eddie KARLSSON (SWE-Husqvarna) precedes him in the Superpole standings (39.635). The Swede had an eventful evening! He suffers an engine failure during the second free practice session. His team manages to repair it for the timed practices. He qualifies for the Superpole. In the race, he has a solid first heat finishing third. He crashed in the second heat while he could have aimed for a podium. His engine finally gives up before the last final. Too bad for KARLSSON. The official KTM rider Manuel LETTENBICHLER (GER) set a disappointing 5th time (39.561). The German will make up for it in the race, achieving his best result of the season by finishing 2nd overall! Jonny WALKER (GBR-Beta), weakened by a severe food poisoning, has to settle for 4th place in the Superpole (39.558). This is also the position he will finish this GP of Bulgaria: strength and honor to the runner-up of the championship who leads the final battle for an additional round for the GP of Great Britain!
The top 3 consists of Diogo VIEIRA (POR-GASGAS). The hero of the Hungarian GP confirms his current form in the Superpole (39.367). Unfortunately, in the race, the evening of the Portuguese will be a bit more challenging. VIEIRA settles for a final 7th place. He still has one race left to try to step onto a new podium in 2024. Dominik OLSZOWY (POL-Rieju) started the Bulgarian GP perfectly with a 2nd time in (39.122). The Pole once again confuses speed and haste during the finals. The 2021 Junior World Champion finishes 6th in the race! The pole position goes to Billy BOLT who allows himself the luxury of outperforming his opponents by nearly three seconds ahead of OLSZOWY (36.501). In perfect harmony with the Bulgarian track, BOLT left no room for doubt. He wins in Bulgaria and signs his 6th victory of the year in 6 Grand Prix.
The Briton should in all likelihood win his fourth world title during the GP of Great Britain held in his hometown of Newcastle! He only has a few more days to wait!
Provisional Calendar: 1. Billy BOLT 13pts; 2. Jonny WALKER 10pts; 3. Dominik OLSZOWY 4pts; 3. Eddie KARLSSON 4pts; 3. Manuel LETTENBICHLER 4pts; 6 Diogo VIEIRA 2pts…
Billy BOLT on the verge of triumph
MAgd_34509u8_len_Super345
The triple world champion has just won his 6th Grand Prix of the season in Sofia. He dominated the race without worrying about the competition. Jonny WALKER, sick and weakened, managed to extend the suspense for an additional round. Everything will be decided in Newcastle next weekend.
Victim of a severe food poisoning, Jonny WALKER (GBR-Beta) bravely managed to complete the Bulgarian GP. The threat of seeing BOLT crowned one race before the final motivated the British rider to participate. Drained of all energy, WALKER nevertheless managed to finish the GP in 4th place, allowing him to extend the showdown. This fine example of courage deserved to be rewarded. Billy BOLT left no room for doubt, winning all three finals. In the first heat, he finished ahead of Manuel LETTENBICHLER (GER-KTM) and an impressive Eddie KARLSSON (SWE-Husqvarna). In the following one, BOLT once again led the official KTM rider and the Polish rider Dominik OLSZOWY (Rieju). BOLT concluded by winning the final race, a 100% British affair, with Will HOARE (Rieju) and confirming the talent of Mitch BRIGHTMORE (GASGAS).
In the championship standings, the red plate of the 24MX leader seems destined for the triple world champion. He leads WALKER by 59 points, and if BOLT wins the first moto in Newcastle, he will add a 4th star to his record. Behind the English riders, LETTENBICHLER seems to be heading towards the Bronze medal, although HOARE could still challenge for this position. The fight for the top 5 will be tight between BRIGHTMORE and OLSZOWY, currently tied with 191 points each.
Ashton BRIGHTMORE can do it
The 17-year-old British rider is on the verge of succeeding his older brother Mitch in claiming the world title in the Junior category. The GASGAS rider clinched his 4th victory of the season against his main rival, the Israeli Suff SELLA (KTM). BRIGHTMORE achieved his first hat-trick by winning all three Bulgarian finals! This evening dealt a real blow to SELLA‘s morale, who is now 26 points behind the English rider. Ashton arrives in a position of strength and can count on the support of local fans to help him secure the title he has desired since last season. For the third place in the overall standings, Milan SCHMUESER (GER-Sherco) has rekindled his campaign after achieving his best result of the year by finishing second in Sofia.
In a week, we will know the two world champions of the 2024 MotoZ FIM SuperEnduro World Championship! See you in Newcastle next Saturday.
Provisional standings:
Prestige: 1. Billy BOLT 364 pts; 2. Jonny WALKER 305 pts; 3. Manuel LETTENBICHLER 240 pts; 4. Will HOARE 208 pts; 5. Mitch BRIGHTMORE 191 pts
Junior: 1. Ashton BRIGHTMORE 332 pts; 2. Suff SELLA 306 pts; 3. Roland LISZKA 231 pts; 4. Marc FERNANDEZ SERRA 217 pts; etc…
Bulgaria 2024 - Highlights
This was a night to remember here in Sofia!
Despite the true domination of Billy Bolt and the “flu night” of Jonny Walker, having to race sick, the fight for the podium was really intense between Manuel Lettenbichler, Will Hoare, Dominik Olszowy, Mitch Brightmore and JW22. Check it out!
Bolt Tightens His Grip
MAgd_34509u8_len_Super345
The inaugural evening in Bulgaria brought the thrills and spills that fans of the MotoZ FIM SuperEnduro World Championship are accustomed to, with several riders shining bright and Jonny WALKER (GBR-Beta) hailed as one of the great heroes of the evening. The English rider suffered through the entire evening with food poisoning and his participation was in doubt until just before the first gate drop. Determined not to see the title slip away, WALKER gathered the little strength he had left to race the penultimate GP of the season. The Beta rider was impressive, managing to finish each of the races despite his immense physical disadvantage. He achieved fourth in the first and second races and fifth in the final fight of the night, therefore finishing fourth overall in the GP, tied on points with Will HOARE (GBR-Rieju).
WALKER is now 59 points behind Billy BOLT (GBR-Husqvarna) – if the reigning champion takes victory in the first race next weekend, he would be crowned without even needing to contest the remaining two races.
BOLT On Another Planet
It was another impeccable evening for BOLT as he smashed the fastest time in the Akrapovic Superpole, rushed to the Airoh Holeshot Award, and won all three races with relative ease. The factory Husqvarna rider left the Bulgarian crowd in no doubt of his skill, talent and showmanship. Winning the first race by almost eight seconds ahead of Manuel LETTENBICHLER (GER-KTM), and the second race ahead of the German by almost ten seconds. In the final battle of the night BOLT did not let up his effort, taking another controlled victory in front of Will HOARE and Mitch BRIGHTMORE (GBR-GASGAS). A hattrick for BOLT which made onlookers forget the injury problems he has suffered in recent weeks. King Billy is only a week away from another crown…
The rest of the evening was quite lively for the podium contenders, Manuel LETTENBICHLER finished second overall in the Bulgarian GP after having perfectly played his role as an outsider, replacing Jonny WALKER at the front. The German rode very well during all three races but the last one was a little more hectic for the factory KTM rider who took the chequered flag in fourth place. His third place in the championship standings now seems almost certain, but Will HOARE is going to give everything to dislodge him during the British GP. The Rieju rider made his return to the overall podium in Bulgaria with third – a first success for the Spanish manufacturer. HOARE must close a gap of 32 points if he wants to overtake LETTENBICHLER overall. The fight for the Top 5 was also very lively, Eddie KARLSSON (SWE-Husqvarna) rode with a damaged engine all evening and finally had to give up before the last race when he could have aimed for a good third place. Mitch BRIGHTMORE (GBR-GASGAS) also came very close to his first podium in Prestige. The 2023 Junior World Champion is one of the most impressive riders of the 2024 season.
Ashton Makes the BRIGHTMORE Name Shine
The young British prodigy Ashton BRIGHTMORE (GBR-GASGAS) won his fourth GP of the season in the Junior category. With this latest success, the standout rider of the season is heading towards the class title and could succeed his big brother Mitch, last year’s Junior World Champion. The BRIGHTMORE siblings are clearly ready to write their names large in the annals of the sport. Ashton scored his first hattrick of the season by winning all three races in Sofia. Despite his best efforts, Suff SELLA (ISR-KTM) was unable to curb the enthusiasm and skill of his young opponent. The Israeli KTM rider was forced to make comebacks three times during the races, which he managed well, but BRIGHTMORE was always one step ahead. A big crash in the final race of the night left SELLA bruised and feeling defeated despite the fact he still achieved third overall. The Brit will arrive in Newcastle with a 26-point advantage, but nothing is certain until the final flag. Milan SCHMUESER (GER-Sherco) took his best result of the season by finishing second in the Bulgarian GP, a good return from injury for the German. As in the Prestige class, a Junior king will be crowned in just one week’s time, and the UK are on course for two home grown champions!
After a brilliant night in Bulgaria which proved the country’s passion for the sport, we only have one week until the conclusion of a season which has been a success in every way. The grand finale of the 2024 MotoZ FIM SuperEnduro World Championship will be held in the Utilita Arena in BOLT’s hometown of Newcastle next Saturday the 2nd of March.
Billy Bolt : “The track tonight was slick and slippery but it was really enjoyable to ride so the Bulgarian organisation have done a brilliant job. I’ve come out of it with another three wins and a solid advantage. Tonight was tough for Jonny, and we all know what it’s like to suffer through bad times so I feel for him. It hasn’t sunk in for me yet that Newcastle is just next weekend, we’re a tightknit community and I know the atmosphere is going to be unreal, see you all there!”
Ashton Brightmore: “I’m really happy to come away from Bulgaria with three wins and the overall, I tried to stay mistake free but it wasn’t easy on this track. In the last race I felt the pressure from Suff, but I was staying calm, and then suddenly he wasn’t there anymore and I came past him on the next lap. I didn’t really know what had happened to him. Anyway, I’m really looking forward to next week in Newcastle, counting the days now!”
