By Team TMX on 16th Dec 24
The FIM SuperEnduro World Championship fired into life in Gliwice, Poland with defending world champion Billy Bolt taking the overall win ahead of local favourite Domink Olszowy.
The racing action got underway off with Superpole, where four-time FIM SuperEnduro World Champion Billy Bolt (Husqvarna) clocked the fastest lap time. Jonny Walker (Triumph) secured second place, while Eddie Karlsson (Stark) impressed with a strong third-place finish.
In the first final, Bolt put on a masterclass, delivering a commanding performance to claim a dominant victory. Walker followed in second, unable to match Bolt’s blistering pace, while Dominik Olszowy (Rieju) completed the first final in third.
The second final, however, told a different story. Olszowy seized his moment. Starting from the second row, he made an incredible charge to the front. With the home crowd’s deafening support behind him, Olszowy held off relentless pressure from Bolt. Despite Bolt’s repeated attempts to overtake – including a few that pushed him off the track – Olszowy remained calm and consistent, earning his first-ever Prestige class win in breathtaking style. Walker finished second again, while current Junior World Champion Ashton Brightmore (GASGAS), making his debut in the Prestige class, took an impressive third, with Bolt settling for fourth.
In the third and final race, Bolt reasserted his dominance. With a flawless ride from start to finish, he claimed victory and secured the overall win for the night. Olszowy finished second in the race and earned a well-deserved second place overall. Walker, despite a mishap that saw his chain come off mid-air in the third race, managed to secure third place on the overall podium.
The Junior class delivered incredible excitement as the young riders brought incredible energy and determination, delivering fierce battles and thrilling moments that kept the standings unpredictable.
In the end, it was the most consistent rider, Toby Shaw (Sherco), who emerged victorious. Àlex Puey (Rieju) impressed with a dominant ride in the first final and a strong second-place finish in the third, earning him the runner-up spot overall. Marc Fernandez Serra (KTM) also performed consistently to complete the Junior class podium.
The debut of the Youth class for riders aged 14 to 18 on 125cc machines showcased incredible skills and thrilling battles in Gliwice. Ramon Godino Gomez (Beta) and Connor Watson (Sherco) took the top two spots on the podium while Polish fans had much to cheer for as Micha Laska (TM) claimed third place overall with two third-place finishes. Young Brit Fraiser Lampkin (Beta) placed fourth with a 5-2 scorecard and will be hoping to hi the podium at round two of the championship in Riesa, Germany on January 4.
