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…

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…

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!”

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.”

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.

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…

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…

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!”
