final round of the 2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship took place in Lievin, France. With world titles and rankings officially decided, the technical track challenged many riders. Billy Bolt wrapped up his season with another flawless night, while Spanish young talents Marc Fernandez and Ramon Godino claimed the Junior World Championship and Youth World Cup titles, respectively.
A Routine Victory for Bolt
Billy Bolt delivered another dominant performance, leading from start to finish in the first race. The real battle took place behind him for the final podium spots. Eddie Karlsson, riding the Stark, and Jonny Walker on the Triumph fought fiercely. Walker, who had made a mistake in Superpole, had to fight from the second row.
Karlsson held on to take third place ahead of Walker, who struggled to keep up. Meanwhile, Ash Brightmore secured second place, ensuring his third overall position in the 2025 championship. His brother, Mitch Brightmore, faced major issues, including a blown rear shock, which cost him valuable points.

Walker Leads, But Bolt Strikes Back
Jonny Walker had a great start in Moto 2, leading early while Bolt got stuck in the rocks and fell to the back. However, it didn’t take long for the new champion to slice through the field. By the end of lap one, he was already fourth, and within another lap, he took the lead after Walker stalled his Triumph.
With the track wearing riders down, mistakes were common, even for Bolt. But he managed to hold onto his lead, while Walker rode consistently to finish second.
The Brightmore brothers had another intense battle, this time for third. Mitch came out on top, taking valuable points from his younger sibling, which affected Ash’s overall standing.
Bolt’s Crash Brings Walker Closer
Final race of the night saw Bolt leading again, but the real excitement was in the fight for second place. Eddie Karlsson, Jonny Walker, and Ash Brightmore battled hard in what was one of the most exciting races of the evening.
By this stage, the track was at its worst, with deep ruts and holes making it extremely difficult to navigate. Riders struggled with front tire grip, rough landings, and unpredictable takeoffs.
Mitch Brightmore, after an early setback in the rocks, worked his way back into the podium fight. He managed to pass Karlsson and his brother before a front-end tuck sent him back down the order.
A big crash from Bolt mid-race gave Walker an opportunity to close in, but the champion recovered quickly to take one last victory ahead of Walker and Ash. This meant the top three in the final race mirrored the overall championship standings.
In the final podium tally, Walker and Ash Brightmore ended up tied on points, but Walker took second place overall thanks to his two second-place finishes.
Enduro Channel’s Take
2025 SuperEnduro season wrapped up with Billy Bolt once again proving why he is the dominant force in the sport. His speed, consistency, and ability to recover from mistakes set him apart. However, Jonny Walker’s performance on the Triumph and the ongoing battle between the Brightmore brothers were also major highlights of the season.
The Lievin track provided some of the toughest challenges of the year, pushing riders to their limits. Deep ruts and rough terrain made the races unpredictable and physically demanding.
Looking ahead to 2026, we at Enduro Channel can’t wait to see even closer battles and rising young talents making their mark on the SuperEnduro world!
