The SuperEnduro Youth World Cup now has its first champion in 16-year-old Spaniard, Ramon Godino, protege of Alfredo Gomez riding for AG Beta Racing Team who made history becoming the first-ever winner of the new, 125cc series.

With the 2025 FIM superEnduro season put to bed last weekend in Lievin, France, the final classification sees three champions crowned: the imperious Billy Bolt with five world crowns in Prestige class, Marc Fernandez the new Junior world title holder and the first-ever Youth World Cup champion in Ramon Godino.

Godino established himself as the dominant rider in the category from the get-go, accumulating victories and podium finishes while his others found their feet indoors and in front of large crowds – a big ask for riders this young.

One great fact floating around post-season is the pace Ramon, and championship runner-up Frasier Lampkin, were running would have landed them Junior World Championship podiums.  

Ramon took victory in part thanks to his versatility and experience in trial, supermotard, and hard enduro. On such a tough set of tracks and obstacles, and in front of noisy crowds, experience counts and Ramon relied on Alfredo Gomez as team boss in the AG Beta Racing team in his season for coaching and advice.

Enduro21 catches five with the young, Spanish rider…

Congratulations, Ramon! You made history by taking the first SuperEnduro Youth World Cup title. How do you feel?

Ramon Godino: “Thank you very much! Honestly, I still can’t believe it. It’s been an incredible season, and I’m very happy to have made history in this new category.”

Tell us, what led you to compete in this new 125cc category?

“Well, it all came about thanks to Figui [Jordi Figueras, team manager of Beta Trueba], as Alfredo [Gomez] was looking for a rider, and he recommended me to the AG Team as an option to compete in the new Youth SuperEnduro category.”

How has having someone like Alfredo Gomez by your side helped you?

“Alfredo has been a role model for me throughout the championship. He always wanted to teach us everything he knew, and that helped me a lot on every track and during the races. Most importantly, he taught me the value of staying calm at all times.”

You were the rider who won the most races and rarely missed the podium…

“Yes, it was a very consistent season. I think the key was my experience in different disciplines since I was young, which allowed me to adapt quickly to any track and stay competitive.”

Did you expect such a successful start?

“Honestly, I didn’t expect to start so strong. I knew I could be among the top riders, but winning so many races was a surprise. As the races went on, I gained confidence in myself, which allowed me to keep pushing.”

Your worst event of the season, in terms of results, was the penultimate round in Newcastle. What happened?

“It was a tough race. I didn’t feel comfortable with the track, the terrain was tricky, and I also had several crashes in both races. But even on bad days, there’s always something to learn.”

You are a multi-discipline rider in Trial, Supermotard, Enduro and Hard Enduro. Is that your secret?

“It could be. Competing in different disciplines gives me extra technical skills and better bike control. Trial helps me in the most technical sections, and supermotard improves my speed in corners. It all adds up, and I think this combination makes me a more complete rider.”

Is it difficult to switch between disciplines?

“It’s second nature to me now. Since I was a kid, I’ve competed in different specialties, so switching my mindset comes naturally. That said, each discipline has its specifics, and there’s always a short adjustment period, especially when races are close together.”

You raced the final round of the 2024 Hard Enduro World Championship, Hixpania. Will we see you in other hard enduro races?

“Yes, Hixpania is an amazing race, and I’d love to go back. Plus, I’ll be competing in all rounds of the Spanish Hard Enduro Championship.”

After winning in Youth, what about the rest of the 2025 season?

“My main goal is to keep growing. I want to continue improving in SuperEnduro but also test myself in more Enduro, Hard Enduro, and Trial.”

Will you defend your title or move up to Junior in SuperEnduro?

“Most likely, I’ll move up to Junior. I think it’s the logical step to keep progressing as a rider and compete against more experienced rivals. It will be a big challenge, but I’m excited to take it on.”

Finally, if you had to choose, which discipline would you choose or don’t you want to?

“For now, I want to keep racing in multiple disciplines. I love the variety, and I think it makes me a more complete rider. But I haven’t decided yet which one I’ll focus on long-term.”
