BOLT WINS 2026 SUPERENDURO WORLD TITLE

Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Billy Bolt has clinched the 2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship title on home soil in Newcastle, United Kingdom – securing his sixth consecutive indoor world crown with one round to spare and a so-far perfect run this season. On his FE350 in front of a packed and passionate home crowd, Bolt delivered another outstanding performance at Round 6 that saw him win SuperPole and two of the three finals to wrap up the championship in true Bolt style. Bolt’s championship run began in 2020 and has continued through 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and now 2026, with 2021 the lone exception after the season was cancelled due to COVID. With this victory, he now ties the record for most SuperEnduro World Championship wins with Tadeusz Blazusiak, both standing at six titles.

With a faultless SuperPole lap earning him three valuable championship points, Bolt claimed Race 1 with a commanding advantage – lapping riders early on and settling into a rhythm to take a convincing victory that moved him to the cusp of championship glory.

Race 2 began from the second row under the reverse-grid format, but Bolt quickly carved his way through the pack and was up to second place by lap two. With the championship on the line, he relentlessly closed down on the leader and made a decisive pass with just one minute remaining. After a bar-to-bar exchange that followed, and despite briefly regaining the lead, Bolt ultimately crossed the line in third. Nevertheless, the points secured were enough to crown him the 2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Champion. With the title confirmed, he lined up for Race 3 with confidence and controlled the race from the front to claim his second victory of the evening.

Billy Bolt: 
“Winning the championship here in Newcastle makes it an extra special night. It’s been a really good evening of racing on a great, technical track that broke down as the action went on. The level was high all night and the guys were riding strongly, Jonny especially kept the pressure on and pushed me hard, which always brings out the best in these battles. I secured the title in race two, but I wasn’t fully satisfied with my performance there because I made a few small mistakes. Even with the championship wrapped up, I wanted to finish the night the right way, so I put the pressure on myself to win the final race and take the overall. To win the championship and the overall here in front of the home crowd is something I’m incredibly proud of. Massive credit to the team for all their hard work this season, and thanks to everyone for the support – number six feels amazing.”

Fabio Farioli – Husqvarna Factory Racing Enduro Team Manager: 
“It was another fantastic performance from Billy. Once again, he showed how incredible he is when he races, he always gives absolutely everything. In the second race, you could see how much he wanted the win, and maybe that extra push led to a small mistake, but that just shows his fighting spirit. Securing the championship here is the perfect reward for all the hard work this season. Now the focus already shifts towards the next challenge and preparing for the hard enduro season. We’re extremely proud of what he has achieved.”
