Main rival Jonny Walker pushed hard but had to settle for second overall. The Brightmore brothers fought for the final podium spot, Mitchell edging out Ashton.

Henry Strauss claimed victory in Final 3, earning second overall on count back ahead of Schmüser. With one round to go, Fernandez holds a 36-point lead over Schmüser, while Toby Shaw remains third in the standings.

With just one round remaining, Godino Gómez leads the Youth World Cup on 185 points, but Lampkin has closed the gap to 167, keeping the title fight alive.

Superpole

After topping timed practice by well over two seconds over his nearest rival, Bolt went into SuperPole full of confidence and fired up to secure pole position. It didn’t quite go all his way however, but a couple of small mistakes didn’t slow his pace, and the FE 350 racer took the win by one and a half seconds. Mitchell Brightmore second, and Jonny Walker third, with William Hoare delivering an excellent lap for fourth.

Walker then found himself under pressure from Eddie Karlsson, with the two swapping positions through the race.

With Bolt taking a commanding race win by over 13 seconds, Mitchell Brightmore claimed second, with brother Ashton a further 17 seconds behind. Walker held on for fourth, just two seconds ahead of Karlsson.

Billy Bolt – 2025 SuperEnduro Champion

“It’s been an incredible night here in Newcastle tonight. I know I came here into my home round with a good advantage but you can never take things for granted in SuperEnduro. The boys were pushing really hard tonight, especially in that last race – I think they thought that as I had won the title, I might ease off a little. Of course, I gave it my all as usual and was able to come out with three race wins. The crowd here have been amazing and I want to thank everyone who has supported me this season. Five titles in a row is fantastic. There’s still one round to go and you can be sure I won’t be backing down there either, I’ll be looking to finish the series on a high next weekend in France.”

Jonny Walker – P2

“I’ve come away with P2 tonight, which I’m really happy with, especially after a tough race one, finishing fourth. I struggled a little with the track tonight as it was quite difficult and everyone was on fire! I’m feeling great though after strong results in the second and third races, and I’ve extended my gap to third in the championship. I’m looking forward to the final round in France next week!”
