- FIM SuperEnduro breaks new ground in Serbia
- 10,000 SuperEnduro fans fill Belgrade Arena
- Billy Bolt edges closer to world title with Prestige victory
An exciting moment in the history of the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship saw Belgrade host the first-ever GP of Serbia in style. The Belgrade Arena, filled with 10,000 passionate and SuperEnduro-hungry fans were treated to what proved to be an incredible night of racing. Continuing his unbeaten run of form, Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Billy Bolt moved closer to securing his sixth world title by claiming maximum points in Serbia. The FIM Junior SuperEnduro World Championship saw Spain’s Manuel Gómez take his debut overall victory, while also putting Stark Future onto the top step of the podium for the first time. Poland’s Wojtek Walczak (KTM) strengthened his grip on the Youth Cup class with a double race win.
PRESTIGE – SUPERPOLE
Remaining unbeaten in SuperPole, Bolt collected his fifth fastest time of the 2025/2026 season in Serbia. Quickest in the morning’s Timed Practice, Bolt was the final rider to take to the track for SuperPole and looked to better the benchmark set by Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team’s Jonny Walker. A brilliant lap by the Husqvarna rider saw him edge out Walker in second by a sizeable 1.3 seconds. With Walker second, it was the Stark Future duo of Eddie Karlsson and Toby Martyn who finished third and fourth, respectively. Making their respective returns to racing, X-Grip Racing’s Ashton Brightmore took fifth, with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Manuel Lettenbichler sixth. A final corner crash knocked X-Grip Racing’s Mitch Brightmore down to seventh.
PRESTIGE FINAL 1
Immediately making amends for his SuperPole crash, Mitch Brightmore grabbed the Diverse Extreme Team holeshot for Prestige Final 1. With Brightmore holding the lead on lap one, Walker, Martyn, Karlsson and Bolt all jostled for position. A charge by Bolt moved him into second, before jumping past Brightmore on the rock garden to take the lead. Building a comfortable advantage, Bolt saw his work undone with a crash with one-minute and one-lap to go. Remounting with his lead intact, he held enough breathing room to continue on to win Final 1. Behind him, Brightmore held off attacks from Walker and Martyn to claim second. With Walker third, Martyn placed an impressive fourth, with Karlsson fifth.
PRESTIGE FINAL 2
For the second Prestige final, it was Beta AG Racing’s Alfredo Gomez who secured the all-important Diverse Extreme Team holeshot, ahead of RIEJU Factory Team’s Dominik Olszowy in second. Olszowy overtook Gomez in the rock garden to lead, as the Stark Future duo of Karlsson and Martyn, plus Walker and Bolt, chased him down. Within a lap, Karlsson pushed his way in front of Olszowy, and as the RIEJU rider fought back, it was Walker who capitalised on both riders to force his Triumph into the lead. However, Bolt was on a charge, and mirroring his move in Final 1, he jumped past Walker exiting the rock garden to begin lap four in the lead. From there, Bolt was mistake free and raced to a comfortable win. Behind him, Walker collided with a back marker and slipped back to fifth, while Karlsson and Martyn went on to finish second and third, respectively, with Mitch Brightmore fourth.
PRESTIGE FINAL 3
The third and final Prestige race had the 10,000-strong spectators inside the Belgrade Arena on their feet. Martyn grabbed the Diverse Extreme Team holeshot, but it was short-lived, with his Stark Future teammate Karlsson racing past him in the rock garden. Caught in traffic off the start, Bolt was in overdrive as he raced his way forward in commanding style. Mixing up his lines to avoid the deepening holes, he worked his way past Martyn for second on lap four and set about closing the gap to Karlsson. Two laps later, the Husqvarna rider was leading and would go on to secure his third race win of the night. In the fight for second, Mitch Brightmore got by Karlsson with three laps to go, forcing the Swede to settle for an eventual third. Martyn finished two seconds behind in fourth, while Walker was fifth.
PRESTIGE – OVERALL
For the fifth time in succession this championship, Bolt claimed the top step of the Prestige podium, while also becoming the first-ever winner of the SuperEnduro GP of Serbia. Strong and consistent when it counted, Mitch Brightmore raced his way to second overall. Claiming his second visit to the podium this season, Karlsson completed the top three. Delivering arguably his best performance of the championship to date, Martyn went 4-3-4 for fourth overall. Hampered by crashes, Walker had to settle for fifth.
JUNIOR – DEBUT OVERALL WIN FOR MANUEL GÓMEZ
The FIM Junior SuperEnduro World Championship saw a landmark moment for Manuel Gómez and Stark, with the pairing claiming their first-ever overall win in SuperEnduro. A dramatic morning, which resulted in championship leader Milan Schmüser (Beta) fracturing his lower right leg in a crash, immediately opened the doors for a new overall winner and potential championship leader to emerge at the GP of Serbia.
In Final 1, it was Spaniard Gómez who took the holeshot, but with Britain’s Toby Shaw (GASGAS) right behind him, the duo began to battle for the race lead. On lap two, Shaw found his way to the front and despite Gómez’ best efforts, pulled clear to win by over four seconds. Britain’s Fraiser Lampkin (Beta) held off the United States’ Niko Piazza (Triumph) to secure third.
Britain’s Burts Crayston (KTM) initially led Final 2, with Lampkin starting strongly in second. A crash by Shaw dropped him back to seventh, and with ground to make up. Applying pressure, Lampkin took control of the race lead for three laps before losing out to Gómez, with the Stark rider going on to win Final 2. Claiming his best race result of the season, Lampkin held off Germany’s Henry Strauss (KTM) to take second.
With it all to play for in Final 3, Piazza took the holeshot, before losing out to Gómez in the rock garden on lap one. Shaw later overtook Gómez in the matrix to take up the race lead, with the young Brit racing ahead to an eight-second margin of victory over his Spanish rival, with Lampkin taking third.
Thanks to his 2-1-2 scorecard, Gómez was able to edge out Shaw for the overall Junior class victory in Belgrade by one point, marking a debut win for both the Spaniard and Stark in SuperEnduro. Finishing as runner-up, Shaw is now tied for the championship lead with Schmüser with two rounds remaining. After a strong performance in Serbia, Lampkin was rewarded with a debut podium in third. Strauss and Piazza finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
YOUTH – IMPORTANT DOUBLE VICTORY FOR WOJTEK WALCZAK
Firmly asserting himself as the rider to beat in the Youth Cup class, the SuperEnduro GP of Serbia marked a double victory for championship leader Wojtek Walczak (KTM). Looking strong from the off in Belgrade, the young Polish rider quickly worked his way up to second in Final 1 behind Spain’s Eneko Martinez (Beta). Piling on the pressure, he took the lead on lap five to ultimately secure the opening race win. Behind him, Martinez finished second, with Austria’s Luca Kropitsch (KTM) riding well for third.
In Final 2, it was Kropitsch who took the holeshot. Britain’s Connor Watson (Sherco) quickly moved past Kropitsch to lead. With Walczak into second, the duo battled hard for the duration of the race. However, a big mistake by Watson on the penultimate corner saw him run off the track. Unable to rejoin the course in the correct way, a five-second penalty pushed him back to second, with victory awarded to Walczak. Martinez finished third. With two race wins in Belgrade, Walczak topped the overall Youth Cup podium in Serbia, ahead of Martinez in second, with Kropitsch third. Watson and Hungary’s József Halasi (KTM) completed the top five.
