Prestige World Championship
SuperPole
Billy Bolt (GBR) once again dominated the SuperPole, setting a blistering lap time of 39.762 seconds on his Husqvarna. The session was a near carbon copy of Round 1, with Jonny Walker (GBR) in 2nd with a 41.351 on the Triumph and Eddie Karlsson (SWE) in 3rd with a 42.121 on the electric Stark Future. This gave Bolt 3 points, Walker 2 points, and Karlsson 1 point heading into the finals.
Final 1
Jonny Walker kept the pressure on Billy Bolt throughout the race, but Bolt found better lines toward the end and built a 4-second lead to claim the win. Behind them, Eddie Karlsson battled with Dominik Olszowy (POL) for 3rd place. Olszowy, who had been riding consistently despite not finding top pace in practice lost a couple of spots by making an unexpected mistake on the bridge, thereby handing 3rd place to Karlsson. This marked the first-ever podium for an electric bike in the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship!
Final 2
In the reverse-grid race, Cooper Abbott (USA) took the Diverse holeshot and held the lead early. Dominik Olszowy and Jonny Walker quickly overtook Abbott, but Walker’s front wheel washed out just before the finish line on lap two, forcing him off the track and out of the race. Billy Bolt, starting without a rush, steadily worked his way to the front. By lap five, he passed both Abbott and Olszowy, pulling away for his second win of the night. Abbott’s mistake late in the race allowed Mitchell Brightmore (GBR) to claim third after a fierce battle with his brother Ashton Brightmore (GBR).
Final 3
Jonny Walker made a strong comeback, claiming the holeshot and setting a quick pace. Bolt, however, fought his way past Olszowy with some difficulty and then Walker, who struggled with mistakes in the rock section. Bolt completed a perfect score for the night (1-1-1), taking the overall win. Olszowy’s consistent performance (4-2-3) earned him 2nd overall, while Walker (2-DNF-2) managed to secure 3rd.
The rest of the pack
Mitchell Brightmore and his younger brother Ashton Brightmore battled fiercely for the podium, with Mitch coming out on top in 4th overall, while Ashton finished 6th.
Eddie Karlsson, who impressed with a 3rd place SuperPole time and a historic podium in the first final for Stark Future, struggled with consistency in the remaining finals, still ending the night in 5th overall, tied on points with Mitch Brightmore.
Cooper Abbott showed improvement in finals 2 and 3 but was pushed to 7th overall due to early mistakes in the 1st final.
William Hoare (GBR) is still searching for his rhythm this season. The TTR rider finished 8th overall, but his talent suggests there’s more to come as the Championship progresses.
German favorite Tim Apolle (GER) showed potential during track previews but ended up mid-pack, finishing 10th overall.
Newcomer and trials rider turned SuperEnduro competitor Toby Martyn (GBR) is beginning to find his pace on the demanding indoor tracks. He rode with confidence throughout the evening, signaling good potential for future rounds, ending the day in 11th overall.
Junior World Cup
Final 1
The Junior class provided non-stop excitement with unpredictable results. In the first final, Marc Fernandez Serra (ESP) capitalized on early chaos to secure a solid victory.
Final 2
The reverse grid start threw Marc Fernandez Serra, Milan Schmüser (GER) and Roland Liszka (HUN) into the first turn mayhem as they struggled to get through huge tires. Álex Puey (ESP), the points leader, seemed poised to gain but stumbled with repeated crashes, opening the door for Burts Crayston’s (GBR) consistent performance finishing strongly despite some challenges. The highlight came when Szymon Kus (POL) made a stunning last-lap pass to seize the final 2 win.
Final 3
Heading into final 3, the Junior World Cup standings were too close to call. In the final moto, Marc Fernandez Serra stayed composed and avoided mistakes, riding to victory and claiming the overall win. Szymon Kus finished 2nd on the night, with Burts Crayston completing the podium in the 3rd, marking a maiden podium for all three riders.
Youth World Cup
Final 1
The Youth 125cc class once again delivered spectacular racing. Ramón Godino Gómez (ESP) extended his points lead after benefitting from a late crash by Michał Laska (POL) in the first final.
Final 2
Godino Gómez’s hopes for the night unraveled after an early fall in moto two. Laska rebounded impressively to win the second final and claim the overall victory, with Fraiser Lampkin (GBR) finishing 2nd and Connor Watson (GBR) completing the podium in 3rd.
FIM Europe Cup
German rider Fynn Hannemann (GER) thrilled the home crowd with a stellar performance, earning the overall win in the FIM Europe Cup. Consistent finishes in both finals secured his spot on the top step of the podium, celebrated with the German national anthem.
Barnabás Csizmazia (HUN) impressed with back-to-back 2nd place finishes, claiming the overall runner-up position. Edward Hübner completed the podium with a 6-3 result.
