However, the Brit quickly recovered positions and took the win with an 8.466s advantage over his Triumph Racing compatriot. Mitchell Brightmore (X-Grip Racing Team/GasGas) finished third.

Finally, in the third and last race, Bolt took an early lead and never relinquished it, finishing 6.112s ahead of Walker. Ashton Brightmore edged out Mitchell to claim third place.

Taddy Blazusiak’s stint in the SuperEnduro World Championship with Stark Future has come to an abrupt end. An incident during the German round led the experienced rider to part ways with the team.

During one of the races, the Polish rider was closely trailing Tim Apolle, who struggled to clear an obstacle. Blazusiak came too close to his competitor, causing his bike to lose control and crash into Apolle.

Both riders fell, and while no serious injuries were reported, it was a highly dangerous situation that could have resulted in far worse consequences.

This week, Blazusiak announced a unilateral termination of his agreement, deciding not to participate in the upcoming races. In the same statement, he apologized for the incident at the German GP, emphasizing: ‘It was not my intention and was caused by the unpredictable reaction of the motorcycle’.

Billy Bolt of Husqvarna Factory Racing consolidated his lead in the 2025 SuperEnduro World Championship by claiming a crushing victory in the second round in Riesa, Germany. The British rider demonstrated superiority by winning all races of the night aboard his Husqvarna FE 350, extending his championship lead to over 20 points.

The night started in the best possible way for Bolt, who secured the SuperPole victory with a time almost two seconds faster than the second-place finisher. This performance guaranteed him first pick on the grid for the initial race.

At the start of the first race, Bolt got the holeshot and quickly began to pull away from his competitors. Despite constant pressure from his main championship rival, Jonny Walker, Bolt maintained control of the pace and secured the first victory of the night.

In the second race, with the reversed grid, Bolt started from the second row. Nevertheless, he stayed calm and began climbing positions in a calculated manner. With several riders facing difficulties on a deteriorating track, Bolt demonstrated his class by smoothly navigating the obstacles, securing another victory.

The third and final race of the night saw Bolt temporarily boxed in at the start, but his experience shone through as he managed the race with precision. By the third lap, he was already in second place, and with Walker’s mistake in the rock section, Bolt took advantage to take the lead. From there, he extended his advantage until the checkered flag.

With the SuperPole victory and wins in all three races, Bolt delivered a perfect night in Riesa, positioning himself comfortably at the top of the championship standings after two rounds.

The next round of the 2025 SuperEnduro World Championship is scheduled for January 18th in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

The new season of the SuperEnduro World Championship kicked off this Saturday in Gliwice, Poland, with Billy Bolt emerging as the winner in the premier Prestige category. This marked the start of a new era, with electric bikes joining combustion bikes on the same field.

In the Super Pole race, the British Husqvarna rider outpaced Jonny Walker (Triumph), with Eddie Karlsson surprising everyone by taking third place on a fully electric Stark Future bike. This was followed by the first final, where Bolt dominated to secure another victory ahead of Walker, while home rider Dominik Olszowy (Fantic) claimed third place.

The Polish Rieju rider aimed for more in the second final, making an impressive start to take the lead and holding off multiple overtaking attempts from Bolt to clinch victory. During the battle, Bolt was overtaken by Walker and Ashton Brightmore (TTR Squadra/GasGas).

In the third final, Bolt returned to his dominant form, leading from the start and taking a flawless victory ahead of Olszowy, with Walker finishing third despite experiencing a chain issue during the race. Overall, Bolt claimed the win with 56 points, followed by Olszowy with 52. Walker rounded out the podium with 39 points.

Karlsson secured sixth place with the best performance among the Stark Future bikes, while his teammate Taddy Błażusiak faced difficulties in his return to SuperEnduro. Błażusiak finished last after failing to complete the second final and being unable to participate in the third.

We’ve all heard one or two stories related to motorcycles or motorcyclists that are at least strange and worrying, but this one about Taddy Blazusiak took on proportions that could be (even more) serious and even resulted in a fatality.

Three days ago the Pole, a true legend of world off-road competitions, reported an attack by someone who intentionally set a real trap to intentionally hurt someone, and in this particular case Blazusiak was even very close to having his throat cut. And no, we are not exaggerating, as the rider himself made a point of explaining on social media:

‘I’m posting this to let the entire Off-road community know that there are people out there that are instable enough to intentionally hurt others just because they hate Motorcycles. So here’s what happened to me, riding a trail on the way to my riding spot on Monday 11 of november I caught a wire that someone intentionally hung across the trail’ the rider wrote.

The trap could have even had another outcome, as the polish explained: ‘Thankfully somehow I caught it in an angle coming out of a corner so I took it on my right shoulder and between my helmet chin piece and goggles , if that wire would slip down from the chin piece on to my neck most probably I wouldn’t be writing this post’.

And he concluded: ‘All good here I got stitched up by a plastic surgen so hoping my face muscles and the scar are going to be OK.
I just cant stop thinking of, what if I would caught it straight on my neck… I cannot understand how someone could do something like this to another person’.

Stark Future Racing is set to take on a significant challenge in the SuperEnduro World Championship: competing against combustion motorcycles with their fully electric Stark VARG. The team features elite riders Eddie Karlsson and Taddy Blazusiak.

The first round of the championship is scheduled for December 14th in Gliwice, Poland, with subsequent rounds taking place in Germany, Hungary, the UK, and France until March next year.

Blazusiak and Karlsson will compete in the Prestige category, the top tier of the competition. The challenge is substantial, as the Stark VARG will have to contend with limited power and extra weight compared to combustion bikes.

Anton Wass, CEO and founder of Stark Future, commented: ‘For the first time in history, electric bikes are lining up at the same gate and competing against combustion vehicles at a world championship level. We are very excited to start this journey in SuperEnduro racing. […]. Racing with extra weight and limited power will restrict our capabilities, but we will push ourselves to perform at the highest level possible within the limitations we’ve been given’.

On the fifth round of the SuperEnduro World Championship there were 17 thousand people at Budapest’s MVM Dome, witnessing another great, and winner, performance from Billy Bolt, in a day with some surprises.

In the first race Bolt (Husqvarna) ended first, followed by Walker (Beta), while the portuguese star Diogo Vieira (GASGAS) was third, beating Mitchell Brightmore (GASGAS) and Manuel Lettenbichler (KTM).

In the second winner was again Bolt, now with Vieira coming as runner-up, as Brightmore took the podium, with Lettenbichler in fourth and Walker in fifth.

As there is ‘never two without three’, Bolt once again got to win, with Walker coming in second, with Lettenbichler reaching his first podium. Brightmore was fourth, with Eddie Karlsson (Husqvarna) to be fifth.

In terms of the overall standings in the championship, Bolt leads with 301 points, 33 more than Walker. Lettenbichler is third with 193.

Stay with with how the action went overall:

The twists and turns were numerous and the surprises just kept on coming, the first jolt of the night came during the Akrapovic SuperPole when Billy Bolt (GBR-Husqvarna) was once again beaten by Jonny Walker (GBR-Beta). The Beta rider was ahead of his compatriot by just two hundredths of a second, but it gave him the edge heading into the races. However, as all SuperEnduro fans know. You can never rule out Bolt. Sure enough, at the start of Race 1 Bolt was quick on the gate drop and took his first Airoh Holeshot of the evening. Walkerwas stuck in traffic and lost a few places on his main rival. Manuel Lettenbichler (GER-KTM) also got off to a good start and momentarily slotted into second behind Bolt, until Walker fought back to take the spot. The German rider then suffered his first crash of the night while trying to chase the two riders ahead of him, this opened the door for Diogo Vieira (POR-GASGAS), and the Portuguese rider was in for a big night, moving into a strong third in the race and never looking back. At the front, Billy Bolt appeared to be on for a trouble-free run to the finish line but there was huge drama in store for the championship leader… 

While the Brit was closing in to lap Lettenbichler, the KTM rider dropped his bike in the matrix. The triple World Champion had no choice but to spectacularly leap over the stricken German and his machine – providing one of the most dramatic images of the 2024 season! The factory Husqvarna rider scared himself by falling heavily on his already injured left leg, but both riders rejoined the race. Despite the pain, Bolt went on to win Race 1 ahead of Walker and Vieira.

In the final race of the night, Billy Bolt confirmed that his big fall and long-standing injury were not going to hold him back. This time out it was a rejuvenated Jonny Walker who took the Airoh Holeshot in front of his compatriot and Lettenbichler. For Diogo Vieira the last attack of the night was disastrous, the Portuguese rider fell in the first metres of the race, and again in the matrix as he was trying to recoup. But with the idea of a maiden podium on his mind, he launched an incredible comeback. From last place he patiently overtook his opponents one by one and climbed back to a respectable sixth place. A position sufficient to guarantee him his first MotoZ FIM Enduro World Championship podium. Elsewhere, the last race was a little less eventful than the previous two, Bolt enjoyed another victory ahead of Walker and Lettenbichler. It’s a fifth victory in five Grand Prix for the three-time World Champion who now has one hand on the title. The Husqvarna rider celebrated on the overall podium with Jonny Walker  and a euphoric Diogo Vieira.

Billy Bolt is on a roll and won again in the SuperEnduro, in what was the fourth round of the category’s world championship in Cluj (Romania). The British once again beat everyone, in the first time the BT Arena has hosted a round in this category.

Bolt leads the championship over Jonny Walker and Manuel Lettenbichler, who are the best up until this moment.

Stay with the best moments in the video below:

The fourth round of the 2024 MotoZ FIM SuperEnduro World Championship visited the BT Arena in Cluj, Romania for the first time. The track was something else with half the Romanian forest indoors and a mousetrap of a layout which riders objected to and alterations were made. The problem was so many logs did not give a moment to catch breath for the ‘gladiators’, especially in the complicated corners, where trunks arranged at an angle were a nightmare. Trials bikes would have been better.

The story of the night is carbon copy of the previous round where, despite not being at 100% after damaging his knee two weeks ago in Riesa, the world championship leader Billy Bolt pulled off the overall, leaving his rivals to reflect on another missed opportunity.

Like round three, the battle with Jonny Walker was intense for three races on the night but Bolt came out winner twice to Walker’s one and the champion is clearly in no mood to let pain prevent his championship campaign.

Bolt and Walker have so far shared the Superpole results in France, Poland and Germany, before reaching this mousetrap track of Cluj. In the event both made mistakes and it was the Swede Eddie Karlsson who gave the surprise of the night with a best time of 35.218 seconds, followed by Mani Lettenbichler and Diogo Vieira, with the two favorites, Bolt and Walker, in an unexpected P4 and P7 respectively.

Both had choked their way through the corner of logs before the finish line and it would prove to be a contentious part of the track all night.

With the best position on the grid for Karlsson, the Swede briefly led the first final of the Prestige category but the pack hunted him down and he progressively lost steam. The world championship leader took the lead ahead of Walker and Rieju’s new signing, Will Hoare. But Jonny put his rival under pressure and when Bolt got stuck again in the ‘cursed corner’, Walker took the opportunity to overtake and made his way to victory, ahead of Bolt and Lettenbichler, after the Red Bull KTM rider worked his way through.

The second race, with the usual reverse grid order, began with Will Hoare as the leader, although Walker soon took advantage of a mistake by his compatriot to take first place followed by Bolt, Mitchell Brightmore, Domink Olszowy and Lettenbichler halfway through.

Shortly after, a mistake by Walker allowed Billy to get closer and when Bolt launched his attack on the last lap to grab the lead, the win was his. Walker crossed the finish line two seconds behind, with Olszowy in third place, followed by Mitch and Mani fifth after several hook-ups.

Come the final moto, the dizzying pace of Walker and Bolt allowed them to get rid of Karlsson, Lettenbichler and Hoare with relative ease in the first laps. The Husqvarna rider took his opportunity to overtake Beta rival, opening a gap for the lead and in the end take a comfortable victory.

Thanks to his fourth victory of the season, Bolt establishes himself as the leader of the championship with 239 points, with Walker in second position, 19 points behind his compatriot and Lettenbichler, further down the table, with 153.

In the Junior category, Suff Sella and Ashton Brightmore again looked favourites in their title battle but it was the British rider’s night on the tight logs, his trials background shining it seemed.

Brightmore took the first moto from Sella and the second, despite the reverse grid start order.

The third Junior final was a repeat with Sella and Brightmore in the first two positions, followed by Fernández and Schmusser. But this time around the positions were reveresed betwent the top two, after the Israeli took advantage of Ash’s mistakes.

The results sees the championship leader’s plate back in the hands of Brightmore, three points ahead of Sella in the general standings.

As in the previous event in Germany, the Romanian Grand Prix also featured the European Championship where the Spanish Xavi León took another double win ahead of the American Dustin Mccarthy and the Polish rider Maciej Wieckowski.
