Bolt Flawless Again
W
ith 14,000 fans looking on,
Husqvarna Factory Racing's
Billy Bolt had another outstand-
ing performance at round four
of the 2026 FIM SuperEnduro
World Championship in Budapest,
Hungary, on January 31. After
topping SuperPole and winning
all three Prestige-class races on
his FE 350, the defending cham-
pion maintained his undefeated
streak and increased his lead in
the championship standings.
Qualifying safely as the second
fastest for the all-important Su-
perPole shootout, Bolt delivered
a mistake-free ride on the flowing
Budapest track to secure pole
position over GasGas rider Mitch
Brightmore by over half a sec-
ond. The result earned him three
championship points and first
gate pick for the evening's finals.
Triumph's Jonny Walker placed
third.
A strong start in race one saw
Bolt round the first corner in third
place. However, a tangle with
another rider in the rock section
dropped him to fifth. From there,
Bolt delivered a sensational
comeback ride, carving his way
through the field to take the lead
on the penultimate lap. Stay-
ing composed under pressure,
he held firm to secure his first
win of the night ahead of Stark
Varg-mounted Toby Martyn and
Brightmore. Martyn was in a
great position to get his maiden
win, maintaining a large 10-sec-
ond lead over Bolt when he went
down two laps from the end.
However, a second was still a
career best for the former TrialGP
star from Great Britain.
Starting from the second row
for the reverse-grid race two,
Billy bided his time through the
opening corners, carefully avoid-
ing early drama. Wasting no time
in finding his rhythm, he surged
into the lead by the end of lap
one. From there, the reigning
World Champion was untouch-
able, extending his advantage
with a composed and clinical
WIND
IN THE
P40
Billy Bolt continues
to dominate the
FIM SuperEnduro
Championship after
winning all three
Prestige motos in
Budapest.
