Billy Bolt Takes Win in Budapest and Pushes SuperEnduro Winning Streak to 24 Races
Round 5 of the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship took place in Budapest, Hungary, this past weekend and once again we were treated to seeing Billy Bolt (Husqvarna Factory Racing) continue a Championship winning streak that goes all the way back to the third round of the 2019/2020 season – 24 straight races if you’re keeping count.
This was also the most chaotic round of SuperEnduro that we’ve seen in quite a while, with big crashes all over the course through all 3 motos including, unfortunately, a season-ending injury for Alfredo Gomez.
In the end it was Bolt, Jonny Walker (Triumph Factory Racing) and Ash Brightmore (X-Grip Racing) taking the podium spots and the top three spots in the overall. Let’s dig into how it all went down in Budapest.
Billy Bolt Takes Insurmountable FIM SuperEnduro World Championship Lead with Round 4 Win.
Round 4 of the 2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship in Łódž, Poland, marked the halfway point of this year’s season, and coming into it there was absolutely no question at all that Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Billy Bolt is still the big dog when enduro goes inside. Bolt had won the first three rounds with only a P2 moto finish and a P2 SuperPole finish marring his almost perfect start to the campaign.
While we have previously noted that Bolt does make mistakes under pressure this season, we also have to point out that those mistakes don’t matter when no-one can take advantage of them. And (spoiler alert) we saw this again in Round 4. Read on to see how it all went down in Poland.

Round 2 of the 2025 SuperEnduro Series went off in Riesa, Germany, this weekend and it was Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Billy Bolt running the table for a perfect night and maximum points over Dominick Olszowy (Rieju Factory Racing) and Jonny Walker (Triumph Factory Racing).

Bolt Undergoes Knee Surgery, Will Likely Miss First Half of 2024 Hard Enduro Championship
Husqvarna Factory Racing announced today that Billy Bolt underwent surgery yesterday to repair knee damage sustained in practice at Round 3 of the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship in early January. It doesn’t take a genius to realise that this will have a major impact on the Hard Enduro championship. Bolt was almost certainly going to be 2x defending champion Manuel Lettenbichler’s (FMF KTM Factory Racing) biggest threat this season. With Trystan Hart’s (FMF announcement at King of the Motos that he would likely only be racing three rounds of FIM series this season, there is a very clear path for Lettenbichler to three-peat.
