Billy Bolt perfect again but the electric bikes are coming! Belgrade SuperEnduro

2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship - Round Five - Belgrade, Serbia

2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship
Round Five – Belgrade, Serbia
SuperEnduro Results – Points – Standings

Billy Bolt’s 2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship campaign continued to gather momentum in Belgrade overnight, the Husqvarna Factory Racing rider sweeping SuperPole and all three Prestige finals at round five to leave Serbia with another maximum points haul.

Bolt’s FE 350 was the reference package on the fast, open circuit inside the Belgrade Arena, but his night wasn’t without work. A less-than-ideal first-turn position in race one (fifth exiting the opening corner) still became a comfortable win once he picked his way to the front inside the opening lap and then controlled the pace from there.

The reverse-grid second final provided the closest glimpse of jeopardy. Starting from the second row, Bolt was into the lead mid-race and then had to manage a genuinely tense bar-to-bar scrap before stretching clear late to win by eight seconds.

Race three began with the biggest interruption to his rhythm, Bolt caught in a first-corner pile-up after a difficult launch. The response was clinical: he was back into the lead fight within two laps, into second with three minutes remaining, and then through for the win to complete the clean sweep and extend his already significant championship advantage to 85 points with two rounds remaining.

“We’re finished here in Belgrade and it’s been a perfect night with maximum points, so I can’t complain. The starts weren’t great, which definitely made things more interesting, but in a way I enjoyed the battles. It’s good to be racing closely with the other guys because you can always learn something and take positives from those situations. Even with the tougher starts, my overall speed felt strong and I was able to stay calm, make the right moves, and manage the races well. The team did a great job all night and the bike was working perfectly. To come away with 63 points and extend the championship lead is exactly what we wanted. Now I’m really looking forward to Newcastle and racing in front of the home crowd.”

It was a standout round for Mitch Brightmore (GASGAS) and Eddie Karlsson (Stark), with the pair carding second and third on the night.

Toby Martyn made it two Stark machines in the top four. The electric bikes are coming!

Behind him, Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team’s Jonny Walker left Belgrade fifth overall after carding 3-5-5 results but importantly maintained second in the standings as the title chase shifts to the series’ home-heavy closing run.

Jonny Walker

Walker’s night started strongly with a second place in SuperPole for two valuable points, and he opened the three finals with a 3rd place after briefly threatening the lead group early before a couple of mid-race errors cost him track position. The reverse-grid second final was shaping as his best opportunity for a bigger score: Walker fought to the front and led, only to lose time after contact in the closing stages, dropping him to fifth. Race three was another fifth after he avoided the first-corner chaos and worked back into contention, later revealing post-race that he hurt his hand in race two and planned to have it checked.

Jonny Walker

“Just finished up here in Serbia and overall, the speed was definitely there tonight. I felt competitive and strong, especially in race two when I was right in the fight for the lead. Unfortunately, I went down with a lapper and hurt my hand, which made the final race a bit of a struggle. It’s frustrating because I felt like we had the pace to be right at the front, but that’s racing sometimes. We’ll get it checked with some x-rays tomorrow and focus on recovering properly, and hopefully I’ll be good to go for Newcastle.”

Jonny Walker

For Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, Manuel Lettenbichler’s return to SuperEnduro competition produced a steady sixth overall in Prestige on the KTM 300 EXC, running 6th in each final after qualifying through to SuperPole and setting the sixth-fastest time there. His second race stood out on paper: shuffled back by the reverse grid, he climbed from 10th at the end of lap one back to sixth at the flag.

“It feels really good to be back racing. Overall, I’m happy with how the night went – three times sixth place, which is pretty decent. The pace was there, and the gaps to the front weren’t too big, especially considering I haven’t ridden much SuperEnduro recently. There’s definitely room to improve, but this was a solid step in the right direction. Now we’ll keep building for the final two rounds and hopefully fight for a top-five finish. I’m looking forward to getting back at it next week in England.”

Round six takes the championship to Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom, on February 28, in what will be a pivotal home event for both Bolt and Walker as the season enters its final fortnight.
