Billy Bolt makes it four-in-a-row with SuperEnduro GP of Hungary victory!<\/p>\n

A sensational round four of the 2025\/2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship saw Husqvarna Factory Racing\u2019s Billy Bolt remain unbeaten to claim the overall victory in Budapest, Hungary.<\/p>\n

Fourth Prestige win for Billy Bolt in 2025\/2026 season
\nJunior class sees Milan Schm\u00fcser win again
\nWojtek Walczak extends Youth Cup lead with victory in Budapest<\/p>\n

Fourteen-thousand spectators filled the MVM Dome stadium in Budapest, Hungary, to watch an action-packed night of racing for round four of the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship. Entertaining the crowd with thrilling racing, it was Husqvarna Factory Racing\u2019s Billy Bolt who stole the show by claiming the overall Prestige class win. In the Junior class, Germany\u2019s Milan Schm\u00fcser (Beta) was pushed hard all the way by Manuel G\u00f3mez (Stark) for the top step of the podium, while Poland\u2019s Wojtek Walczak (KTM) took his second overall victory of the season in the Youth Cup category.<\/p>\n

Prestige \u2014 SuperPole<\/p>\n

Continuing to assert himself as the rider to beat, Bolt delivered yet another masterful performance in SuperPole to secure the win for the fourth time this season. With the rock garden proving the critical section of the lap, Bolt executed it to perfection to top the classification by 0.656 seconds over X-Grip Racing\u2019s Mitch Brightmore, with Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team\u2019s Jonny Walker third. A strong ride from RIEJU Factory Racing\u2019s Dominik Olszowy saw him slot in to fourth, while Stark Future\u2019s Toby Martyn enjoyed his best SuperPole result of the season with fifth.<\/p>\n

Prestige \u2014 Final 1<\/p>\n

From the drop of the start gate for Prestige Final 1, the racing had the 14,000-strong spectators inside the MVM Dome on their feet. Walker took the Diverse Extreme Team holeshot, but immediately faced an attack for the race lead by Bolt. The duo came together on the rock garden, opening a gap for Martyn to emerge from the chaos in first position. The Stark rider used the clear track to his advantage as the riders behind him continued to trip themselves up. With just two minutes to go, Martyn had opened his lead out to an incredible 13 seconds over Bolt, who had recovered to second. But with less than two laps to go, a chance of a debut victory evaporated with a crash in the rock garden. Capitalising, Bolt gladly inherited the race lead and duly took the Final 1 victory. Remounting, Martyn settled for a career-best second place, with Brightmore shadowing him across the finish line in third.<\/p>\n

Prestige \u2014 Final 2<\/p>\n

After the excitement of Final 1, anticipation was high as the Prestige class lined up for Final 2. This time it was Fast Eddy Racing\u2019s Harry Edmondson who took the Diverse Extreme Team holeshot, while Walker would face an uphill battle from last having got stuck on the first obstacle. Working his way through the pack, Bolt picked off Edmondson and Raposeira Bubbles Racing Team\u2019s Diogo Vieira to take the lead on lap two. Never headed, he went on to take a comfortable nine-second margin of victory over Brightmore in second. A strong recovery saw Walker fight his way back to third, ahead of the Stark Future duo of Karlsson and Martyn in fourth and fifth, respectively.<\/p>\n

Prestige \u2014 Final 3<\/p>\n

Brightmore took the final Diverse Extreme Team holeshot of the night in Final 3, but it was Bolt who led as they exited the rock garden for the first time. Initially, it looked like Bolt would checkout to a comfortable win, but falling victim to the rock garden at the midway distance allowed Brightmore back in front. With two laps to go, Bolt closed the gap to his rival, and with Brightmore leaving the door open as they cleared the rock garden, Bolt executed a textbook block pass to lead once more. With no further mistakes, Bolt took the win over Brightmore, with Walker third.<\/p>\n

Prestige \u2014 Overall<\/p>\n

Claiming SuperPole, three race wins, along with taking the ACERBIS Best Lap, Bolt dominated proceedings in Budapest to secure the top step of the podium at round four. A strong night at the office, resulted in Brightmore claiming his best result of the season with second overall, while Walker made it an all-British podium in Hungary with third. Eddie Karlsson edged out his Stark Future teammate Martyn by one point to finish fourth, with Martyn fifth.<\/p>\n

In Final 1, Schm\u00fcser took the holeshot, but a crash on the following rock garden saw him slip down the leaderboard. Spain\u2019s Manuel G\u00f3mez (Stark) took over the race lead, with USA\u2019s Niko Piazza (Triumph) third. Despite leading for the majority, G\u00f3mez faced an attack by Schm\u00fcser with two laps to go, and with the German taking the lead, he secured his first win of the night.<\/p>\n

In Final 2, G\u00f3mez looked for redemption, and found it. Fighting his way to the front with less than three minutes to go, the young Spaniard kept out of trouble to secure his first-ever race win and also the first race victory for Stark in the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship. Britain\u2019s Toby Shaw (GASGAS) finished second, with Schm\u00fcser third.<\/p>\n

For the third and final Junior race, Schm\u00fcser made no mistakes claiming a start-to-finish victory. G\u00f3mez continued his run of form to finish in second, while 2025 FIM Europe Cup series winner, Fynn Hannemann (Beta), carded his best result of the season in third.<\/p>\n

Considered the most challenging course of the season to date, round four in Budapest pushed the Youth Cup riders to their maximum. In Final 1, it was Spain\u2019s Eneko Martinez (Beta) who raced his way to a debut victory. The Spaniard took the win by nine seconds over Walczak, with Austria\u2019s Luca Kropitsch (KTM) third, followed by 14-year-old German sensation Max Eppelman (KTM) fourth.<\/p>\n

In Final 2, Slovakia\u2019s Tom\u00e1\u0161 Mera\u0161icky (Husqvarna) held the lead for the majority of the race. However, despite starting nearly last, Britain\u2019s Connor Watson (Sherco) raced his way onto the wheel tracks of the young Slovakian. Overtaking him on the rock garden on the final lap, Watson claimed the win over Mera\u0161icky, with Walczak finishing third.<\/p>\n

Rider quotes<\/p>\n

Billy Bolt (Husqvarna): \u201cI don\u2019t think I was the fastest guy tonight, so to win in those circumstances feels really good. I managed to make things work for me and put myself in the right places. With three wins, it\u2019s been another perfect night for sure!\u201d<\/p>\n

Milan Schm\u00fcser (Beta): \u201cThe day went really well. I wasn\u2019t expecting that with mistakes in Final 1 and then getting stuck on the rocks during Final 2. But with a strong ride in Final 3, I turned my night around. I\u2019m very happy about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wojtek Walczak (KTM): \u201cIt was a difficult track, so I tried my best to make as few mistakes as possible and preserve my championship lead. I\u2019m so happy to do that, but also to take the overall victory. A tough night for sure, but one that\u2019s gone very well too!\u201d<\/p>\n
