FIM SuperEnduro hit Budapest for the fourth round of the 2025/2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship

Fifteen-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’s Billy Bolt who stole the show by claiming the overall Prestige class win.

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’s Mitch Brightmore, with Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team’s Jonny Walker third. A strong ride from RIEJU Factory Racing’s Dominik Olszowy saw him slot in to fourth, while Stark Future’s Toby Martyn enjoyed his best SuperPole result of the season with fifth.

Race One

Walker took the Diverse Extreme Team holeshot in the opening final of the night, 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.

Race Two

Fast Eddy Racing’s Harry Edmondson took the Diverse Extreme Team holeshot in the second bout, 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’s 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.

Race Three

Brightmore took the final Diverse Extreme Team holeshot of the night, but it was Bolt who led as they exited the rock garden for the first time. Initially, it looked like Bolt would check out 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.

Prestige Overall

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.

Billy Bolt

“It’s been a great night here in Budapest, and as always, the fans have been amazing. The track had a nice flow to it, but honestly, I didn’t feel like I was the fastest guy out there today. So, to still come away with the overall win in those circumstances feels really good. I managed to put myself in the right positions and kept the mistakes to a minimum. On a track like this, just having a clean night is a win in itself. Mitch was riding well, especially in that last race – he’s had great speed all day, so the battle was on. What can I say? Three wins, another perfect night, I’m definitely not complaining.”

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.

Jonny Walker

“Just finished up here in Budapest with third overall. The first couple of races were tough and didn’t really go to plan, but in the final race, I found a better rhythm and managed to bring it home third, which gave us third overall on the night. That’s racing sometimes, and I’m pleased we were able to turn things around. The bike felt good throughout, which is a big positive. I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather this week, so the focus now is on resting up and recovering properly, then coming back stronger for Serbia.”

Jonny Walker

Eddie Karlsson edged out his Stark Future teammate Martyn by one point to finish fourth, with Martyn fifth.
