ride. Crossing the line over nine
seconds clear of his nearest rival,
Brightmore, Bolt made it two wins
from two. Walker was third.
A strong start in race three saw
Bolt take control early on, looking
set to sign off the evening with
another dominant ride. However,
a small mistake in the rocks
allowed Brightmore to slip past
and take the lead. Regrouping
quickly, Bolt kept his composure
and steadily reeled in his rival,
navigating traffic with precision
before making a decisive pass
to retake the lead. From there,
the reigning champion remained
focused to secure his third win
of the night ahead of Brightmore
and Walker.
"It's been a great night here in
Budapest, and as always, the fans
have been amazing," Bolt said.
"The track had a nice flow to it,
but honestly, I didn't feel like I was
the fastest guy out there today.
So, to still come away with the
overall win in those circumstanc-
es feels good. I managed to put
myself in the right positions and
kept the mistakes to a minimum.
On a track like this, just having a
clean night is a win in itself. Mitch
was riding well, especially in that
last race. He's had great speed all
day, so the battle was on. What
can I say? Three wins, another
perfect night—I'm definitely not
complaining."
American Cooper Abbott, riding
an X-Grip-backed GasGas, had a
strong night, finishing sixth over-
all, which included a fifth-place
finish in the final race.
In the night's overall standings,
Bolt stood on top, with Bright-
more and Walker going 2-3.
With victory in SuperPole and
all three finals, Billy extended
his lead at the top of the 2026
FIM SuperEnduro World Cham-
pionship standings to 61 points
over Walker, 249-188, with three
rounds remaining. Brightmore is
third on 169 points. Next up is
round five of the series, the GP of
Serbia, on February 21. CN
