Billy Bolt is yet again World SuperEnduro champion and he did it at home in the UK. Highlights from the Prestige, Junior, Youth and FIM Europe Cup races at Round 6 of the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship in Newcastle, United Kingdom.

It was Billy Bolt’s night. Taking place in Newcastle, UK, round six of the 2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship saw the hometown hero take three wins from three starts to secure the world title – his fifth in a row. It wasn’t plain sailing for Bolt, Jonny Walker and the Brightmore brothers, Mitch and Ashton, made it a night to remember with some of the closest racing seen so far this season.

Prestige – Bolt seals fifth world title in style

Billy Bolt (GBR) delivered a dominant performance in Newcastle, securing all three race wins to clinch his fifth consecutive FIM SuperEnduro World Championship title. Jonny Walker (GBR) pushed hard but had to settle for second overall, while the Brightmore brothers (GBR) fought for the final podium spot. With Mitchell edging out Ashton at round six, the title may be decided, but the battle for second will continue into the final round. Walker holds a 27-point lead over Ashton, with Mitchell a further 12 points behind.

Junior – Fernandez tightens grip on title

Marc Fernandez (ESP) took another commanding overall win, extending his Junior World Cup lead. Despite showing strong pace, Milan Schmüser (GER) suffered costly mistakes in all three races, allowing Fernandez to secure two wins and third in the final race. Henry Strauss (GER) claimed victory in Final 3, earning second overall on count back ahead of Schmüser. With one round to go, Fernandez holds a 36-point lead over Schmüser, while Toby Shaw (GBR) remains third in the standings.

Youth – Lampkin dominates on home soil

Fraiser Lampkin (GBR) delivered a flawless performance in Newcastle, claiming both race wins and securing his first overall victory of the season. Hugo Vukcevic (BEL) and Ramón Godino Gómez (ESP) joined him on the podium in second and third, respectively. With just one round remaining, Godino Gómez leads the Youth World Cup on 185 points, but Lampkin has closed the gap to 167, keeping the title fight alive.

Superpole

The SuperPole shootout in Newcastle was by no means a guaranteed win for Billy Bolt (GBR). A couple of errors while pushing hard on the technical track saw the Brit come close to falling from his machine.

Despite the mistakes, Bolt claimed SuperPole by an impressive one and a half seconds from Mitchell Brightmore (GBR). Jonny Walker (GBR) took third, with William Hoare (GBR) delivering an excellent lap for fourth.

Final 1 – Bolt dominates

Delivering a flawless performance on the demanding UK track, Billy Bolt led the first Prestige race from holeshot to the chequered flag.

The race for second place was fought out between the Brightmore brothers, with Mitchell moving into second after the start, and Ashton soon taking third after passing Jonny Walker.

Walker then found himself under pressure from Eddie Karlsson (SWE), with the two swapping positions through the race.

With Bolt taking a commanding race win by over 13 seconds, Mitchell Brightmore claimed second, with brother Ashton a further 17 seconds behind. Walker held on for fourth, just two seconds ahead of Karlsson.

Final 2

For the reversed-grid second race, it was Dan Mundell (GBR) who took the holeshot, but he was soon passed by Walker on lap one. Bolt took his time to make his way up through the field. Avoiding any mistakes, he moved into second place at the end of lap one. A mistake by Bolt halted his progress, but at the same moment, Walker came off his Triumph while jumping across the tyres.

After remounting, both riders found themselves together on track, fighting for the lead. Eventually Bolt got ahead and began to open up an advantage. With Walker second, the Brightmore brothers were neck and neck for third, Dominik Olszowy (POL) was just behind, piling on the pressure.

Bolt held on to take his second race win of the night and with it, secure his fifth consecutive FIM SuperEnduro World Championship title. Walker held on to finish as runner-up, just over two seconds ahead of Ashton Brightmore in third.

Final 3

It was Walker who took the holeshot in race three, before opening up an early lead on lap one. However, he soon found himself under pressure from Bolt and the Brightmore brothers, with the race lead changing hands multiple times. Bolt, who had already secured the world title, wasn’t holding back. Despite a couple of errors, he regained his composure to move into the lead when the leaders hit lapped traffic. Bolt took the win to make it a perfect night in Newcastle. Walker held off the hard-charging Brightmore brothers to take second place, Ashton got the better of brother Mitchell for third.

Final standings

In a fitting end to the night, Bolt secured the overall win at round six to claim the 2024/2025 title. Walker placed second, and with the Brightmore brothers completing the event on equal points, it was Mitchell who rounded out the podium places due to his runner-up finish in race one.

Although the championship title is decided, the battle for the remaining places rages on into the final round. Walker, in second, holds a 27-point lead over Ashton Brightmore in third, with brother Mitchell fourth, just 12 further points back.
