2026 SuperEnduro World Championship round six results from Newcastle, Great Britain, where Billy Bolt promised and delivered a record-equalling sixth world crown in front of his home crowd, with Jonny Walker second despite a broken hand and Mitch Brightmore third.

SuperEnduro 2026 round 6 in a nutshell:

It was a night of sixes: round six of the 2026 SuperEnduro season where Billy Bolt was gunning for a sixth world title indoors. There were also six British riders on the world chanmpionship podiums in a bumper night for the home crowd in Newcastle.

This series and this round have traditionally been owned by Billy, with his Wallsend family home just a few miles away and a sell-out crowd well behind the champion elect, but equally the strong British contingency in this World Championship event.

It wasn’t a night without drama as Jonny Walker was riding with a broken hand — a metacarpal bone which was painful but manageable, he said — and it didn’t stop him inflicting Bolt’s worst result of the season in moto two.

Focus was also on the Junior World Championship as Toby Shaw looked to take over Milan Schmuser’s championship lead, with the German hugely unlucky to have broken his leg at the previous round.

Superpole hot laps

We sort of don’t need to tell you Bolt was fastest in practice, but he hasn’t always been this season and it was a sign, should anyone have needed it, that he wasn’t about to take the easy route to turning five crowns into six.

An 85-point championship lead meant he could coast to podiums on the night and still wrap up the title a round early (the final GP is in Douai, France, next weekend), but this is Billy and it would be more likely that the River Tyne would dry up.

In Superpole, Mitch Brightmore and Jonny Walker were tidy to post their fastest times of the day to put the pressure on Bolt. Both went inside the 32s but Billy matched them, posting his fastest lap — and the fastest lap of anyone all day and night — at 32.009.

Moto 1

Come the main night races, Mitch Brightmore got a storming start to moto one to lead ahead of Bolt and Walker.

It took a lap or two but Billy made the move on Mitch and the truth is not much happened as the pair matched each other for pace to pull clear. A mistake from Billy in the rocks brought Brightmore close but a couple of laps later a mistake from Mitch gave Walker a sniff of a chance of second.

A lap later Mitch then tucked the front in a flat turn and Walker was through. These two were locked in for the final laps — setting a pattern for the three motos on the night — but Jonny took it, with Brightmore third ahead of his brother Ashton, a confidence-boosting fourth, and Eddie Karlsson fifth.

Moto 2

This was the one where Bolt could seal the title but one which would eventually see a heap of drama and a new world champion angry with his worst result of the entire season.

The reverse grid saw Alfredo Gomez take the holeshot but Harry Edmondson was soon in the lead ahead of Walker making fast progress.

Bolt was playing it cool, picking off riders as Jonny took the lead. Once he had a clear track and only Walker to chase, Bolt closed in on the Triumph but also had a determined Mitch Brightmore hounding him behind.

Bolt had the luxury not to worry but wanted the win and it turned into the race of the night as Jonny held the champion elect off and Mitch snapped at his heels.

Dominik Olszowy was blind to the blue flags and held both lead riders up, but a penultimate lap crash in the rocks let Walker off the hook for a rare and popular win. It was scrappy from Billy (by his standards) and it allowed the terrier-like Brightmore through for second. The limelight was Bolt’s but he left the track annoyed with third place.

Moto 3

Billy Bolt checked out in moto three and it was a textbook performance. Carrying the number one plate on the front of his Husky, he left the others to battle for the overall podium and took the win to finally soak up the glory of the title.

The drama was behind again though as Jonny and Mitch were on a mission for best of the rest on that podium. A mistake gave Walker breathing room but Brightmore wasn’t done and when Jonny made his own error in the matrix, Mitch grabbed it. It wasn’t over and the fight went right to the flag, with Brightmore finally second and Walker third, but their positions were reversed for the overall result thanks to Walker’s 2-1-3 scorecard compared with Brightmore’s 3-2-2.

Ashton Brightmore claimed fourth overall ahead of Eddie Karlsson. The championship positions are not over but it is highly likely Walker is the bridesmaid yet again to Mitch Brightmore, with the two Stark riders Karlsson and Toby Martyn completing the top five.

Junior World Championship

Another British rider basking in home crowd adulation was Toby Shaw, who delivered on the promise laid down in the Junior World Championship since points leader Milan Schmuser went out of the title fight last weekend.

It was a clean and confident Shaw on track, taking start-to-finish wins in motos one and three, and a swift route to the front in the reverse-grid moto two, navigating the traffic well to show the new-found composure of a rider eyeing up a world title.

The key was unlocking the track and not making mistakes. It was that simple, and a perfect night sees him 36 points to the good for a world title next weekend.

Shaw’s seeming calmness was at odds with some typical Junior class chaos behind in each moto as Niko Piazza, Fraser Lampkin, Henry Strauss and Manuel Gomez all had an awesome fight for the podium across the three motos.

Piazza was fast but wild and mistakes meant he was often down in the dirt. Gomez also had the measure of the track but again, errors in the first two motos hurt his overall despite P2 in the final race.
Lampkin’s consistency was the key to that runner-up spot as the Beta rider notched a 2-2-3 scorecard for second, his best result in the Juniors.

Youth World Championship

Eurotek Sherco rider and championship protagonist Connor Watson was fastest in qualifying and backed that up with the holeshot and moto one win.

Wojtek Walczak is the points leader and settled into a solid P2 ahead of a great fight between Kropitsch and Eneko Martinez, ultimately for third place.

A pile-up off the start in moto two saw Watson down as Walczak flew by and quickly took a healthy lead right from the start.

Martinez, Kropitsch and Watson picked themselves up to get back in the race and pushed each other right to the flag in a great contest.

It was a good recovery from Watson to take second among all the carnage, and the time sheets show he was the fastest rider, but the gap was too big and Walczak took the win, the overall, and has his sights set on the title next weekend where he needs just 13 points for the Youth crown.

National Class

Jack Price put in a repeat performance to 12 months ago with a comfortable pair of heat wins in the Expert/National class. The JSM GASGAS rider cruised, trials-style, to untroubled start-to-finish wins in both races ahead of James Allen and Alfie Royal.
