Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Billy Bolt has made it two in a row in the 2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship by claiming a dominant victory at round two in Germany.

Getting his evening in Riesa off to the best possible start, Bolt not only took the win in SuperPole, but put in a time close to two seconds quicker than the second-placed rider.

Making the best use of his first gate pick for race one, Billy got the holeshot and began to pull away. Although pressured by championship rival Jonny Walker, Bolt controlled the pace from the front to secure his first race win of the night.

The reverse start order for race two saw Bolt set off from row two. Despite staying safe and hanging back early on, it didn’t take the FE 350 rider long to begin picking his way through the field.

With chaos unfolding around him and many riders suffering on the deteriorating track, Billy rode smoothly and looked in a class of his own to take win number two of the evening.

After getting closed in off the start of the third final, Bolt once again showed his skill and experience by judging the race and timing his passes perfectly. Moving up into second place by lap three, Billy then set about closing down the leader.

Seizing an opportunity when Walker made a mistake in the rock garden, Bolt surged into the lead before extending his advantage to the chequered flag. With SuperPole and three wins from three races, Billy delivered a perfect evening of racing, and now heads the championship standings by over 20 points after two rounds.

Next up for the 2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship is round three from Cluj-Napoca in Romania on 18 January.

Billy Bolt: “I’m really pleased with how the evening has gone here in Germany, and the fans have been amazing as always. I managed to go the whole event without crashing, which is good. Obviously to take three wins and the SuperPole is always the goal, but I’m happy with how I rode tonight as well. Jonny was laying on the pressure in the first race, then Dominik in the second, but I was able to stay focused and not make any mistakes. Everything is going to plan so far, and the bike is working really, really well. I’m looking forward to getting back to racing again in two weeks’ time in Romania.”

Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team’s Jonny Walker secured his second podium finish of the 2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship by taking third overall at round two in Germany. With a second-place finish in the Superpole and in two of the three finals, Walker earned his spot on the podium, solidifying his position in third in the championship standings after two rounds.

Immediately feeling comfortable on the track in Riesa, Walker clocked a series of top-three times in each of the afternoon’s practice and qualifying sessions. Carrying the positive momentum into Superpole, Jonny put in an impressive lap to place second and claim two valuable championship points.

Capitalising on his favourable start position for race one, Walker exited the first corner in second place, hot on the heels of rival Billy Bolt. The Triumph TF 250 racer was in the fight for the lead throughout the race and put in a faultless ride to secure second place, nearly 30 seconds clear of third.

Race two’s reverse grid didn’t stop Jonny from dominating at the start, as the Brit quickly made his way up to second place by the end of the opening lap. However, an unfortunate crash on lap two caused significant damage to Walker’s handlebars which he was unable to fix himself track-side, forcing him to withdraw from the second race.

Fired up for the final race of the evening, Jonny stormed out of the gate to take the holeshot and immediately began building his lead. Walker had his sights set on victory and fiercely defended the top spot for the majority of the race, remaining focused on the technical course. On the final lap, a mistake from Jonny on the rock garden allowed Billy Bolt to pass, forcing Walker to settle for second place in race three.

Jonny’s resilient performance was enough to ensure his spot on the third step of the overall podium, equalling his performance at round one of the indoor season just three weeks prior. The Triumph Factory Racing rider maintained his position in third overall in the championship standings after two rounds, with the BTarena in Cluj, Romania, set to host round three on January 18th.

Jonny Walker: “I felt good tonight and I had good pace for sure. To go from such a strong start to the evening to then DNF isn’t ideal, but to then finish second after all of that, I’m really happy with how I bounced back. In race two, I grabbed a handful of front brake and tucked the front and that was all it took to twist the bike beyond what I could repair myself. I had fun tonight, the crowd in Germany is always amazing and it’s definitely one of my favourite places to race. The plan is to head home, recover and come back stronger for the next round in two weeks’ time.”
