The SuperEnduro World Championship 2025 season is set for a fiery finale in France this weekend as we head to Lievin with scores to settle across the classes.

With the remarkable fifth consecutive world championship title sewn up last weekend in Newcastle, Billy Bolt has nothing to prove or lose as the season concludes this Saturday in France.

Nothing to lose except the small matter of closing out the year with yet another three motos to his name to complete a season where he has only dropped two motos in total (from 18 raced motos).

There are plenty of scores to settle on Saturday night as Jonny Walker, one of two riders to take a moto win off Bolt this year (Dominik Olszowy was the other), badly wants to snatch more motos for the new Triumph Racing team.

The Prestige class overall top three is more or less settled but the battle between the Brightmore brothers rages and, after the best race of the season in the final moto in Newcastle, we all naturally want more of the same across the night in Lievin.

Ash and Mitch Brightmore sit third and fourth and separated by 12 points heading to France. That’s a healthy margin between the two X-Grip Racing riders with the younger brother, Ashton, holding the advantage. But the spice in mix here is the lack of love lost attitude between them on track. 

Ash put some hard moves on his brother last weekend in Newcastle, and if they both start to employ the same tactics against Billy and Jonny we could see a spicy night’s racing.

The fight to complete the top five overall is worth keeping an eye upon as well although Eddie Karlsson looks to have it sewn up.

Riding a different spec Stark Varg in terms of weight restrictions imposed needlessly by the FIM at the start of the season, Karlsson has to defend against Dominik Olszowy on the Rieju. It’s a big enough points gap of 15 to not be too much stress for the Swedish rider but the battle behind the lead riders is always worth watching in Prestige class.

Junior World Championship and Youth World Cup titles await Spanish youngsters

Both Junior and Youth world crowns are up for grabs this weekend and both have young Spanish riders odds on favourites with healthy points advantages.

In the Junior World Championship the TTR Squadre Corse rider Marc Fernandez has proved the classier rider across the season with dominant races, a few dogged riders from bad positions and some fortune along the way.

Round six in Newcastle was decisive after nearest rival Milan Schmuser, who had been on a roll eating away at the leader’s points advantage, threw away three moto wins. Crumbling three times while leading meant he handed the overall to Fernandez on a plate.

The net results is Fernandez holds 287 points to Schmuser’s 251 and the likelihood is the Spaniard will claim the world championship with ease.

Sherco UK’s Toby Shaw will have to work hard to defend his third spot overall in the Juniors from a hard charging Henry Strauss. Just five points apart, the maths could get tricky on the night as these two fight for third.

Freddy’s protégé Youth champion elect

After a maiden career overall win in Newcastle, Frasier Lampkin is the rider to watch this final GP of the season in the newly formed Youth 125 class. The son of the Trial legend seemed to make a step-change in front of his home crowd last week and ended the night with the kind of muscular ride his dad and grandad would have been proud of.

But Alfredo Gomez’s protégé in the AG Racing team, Ramon Godino, has been more consistent all season though and the 16-year-old Spaniard holds an 18-point championship lead to stand as the inaugural SuperEnduro Youth World Cup champion elect.
