BILLY BOLTS WINS SUPERENDURO OPENER

Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Billy Bolt opened his 2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship campaign in dominant fashion with an overall victory at Round 1 in Gliwice, Poland. The defending champion delivered a 1-2-1 scorecard to secure 60 points on the night and leave the opening round at the top of the championship standings.

Bolt set the fastest lap of the day in SuperPole to claim three valuable points and ensure priority gate pick for Race 1. Carrying that momentum into the opening final, he took the holeshot and steadily extended his lead, lapping several riders, and crossing the finish line with a four-second margin to claim his first race win of the season.

Race 2 saw the British rider start from the second row under the reverse-grid format. Quickly working his way through the pack, Bolt placed himself into a close three-way battle for the lead by the end of the opening lap and ultimately secured a second-place finish on his FE350. Returning to the front row for race three, Bolt once again executed a perfect start to grab the holeshot and again took a comfortable victory by over five seconds.

With his 1-2-1 results, Bolt claimed the overall victory which continued his perfect overall winning streak that stretches back through the 2023, 2024, and 2025 SuperEnduro seasons. The result also sees him take an early lead in the championship standings, holding a 12-point advantage after the opening round of the seven-round series. The 2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship continues with Round 2 in Riesa, Germany, on January 3.

Billy Bolt: 
“Round one here in Poland is done and it’s been a really solid start to the season. The track was challenging and the dirt made it tricky to push at times, with a lot of lines leaving you open to attack, but overall things came together well. I managed the races smartly and felt strong across the night. I had a big moment in race two, but I was able to recover and limit the damage, which was important. To come away with the overall win is something I’m very happy with. See you in Riesa!”
