2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship final round seven results from France where world titles and positions are sealed and a tough track took its toll – Billy Bolt ticks off another perfect night and Spanish teenagers Marc Fernandez and Ramon Godino claim Junior World Championship and Youth World Cup crowns.

 

SuperEnduro Round 7 France – In a Nutshell:

Lievin, just an hour down from the North coast of France, welcomed SuperEnduro for the season finale and a night for wrapping up of championship positions.

With Billy Bolt already crowned the Prestige class winner at the penultimate round last weekend, Lievin concluded the podium places and had the final honour of seeing the 2025 Junior World Champion and inaugural Youth World Cup crowns settled.

The Lievin track itself was technical one, built on clay-based dirt and one which rutted up as the night show progressed, making it hard, even harder than normal, and tricky to piece it together for riders. Easy mistakes were common as ultimately the track had too much to say for itself on the night.

Moto 1:

It was another routine performance from Bolt for a start-to-finish win in the opening moto. By normal standards it was a routine race in fact, with the main excitement behind Bill and Ash Brightmore for the final podium place between Eddie Karlsson on the Stark and Jonny Walker whose mistake in Superpole meant the Triumph rider was fighting the second row.

Karlsson had a good night overall and held strong to claim third ahead of a fading Walker. Ash Brightmore, who had capitalised more than once tonight on his brother’s errors, was an easy second place to secure third overall in the 2025 championship – although Mitch’s problems were amplified big time by a blown rear shock in this moto.

Moto 2:

Jonny Walker made the best of a front row start to lead moto 2 while Billy got caught in the rocks and was almost last of all. Not that it mattered as the new champion sailed through the pack to fourth by the end of lap one and to the front, taking over the lead when Walker again stalled the Triumph a lap later.

With the track eating away at rider stamina, the results were not certain with everyone including Bolt making mistakes. Bolt did hold on though from Walker who ticked off consistent the laps to take second.

The Brightmores, predictably, had another fierce fight, this time for third with Mitch coming out on top of his brother and robbing the points which would affect the overall for his younger sibling.

Moto 3:

With Bolt away out front once again, a fierce fight for second place between Eddie Karlsson, Jonny Walker and Ash Brightmore was one of the races of the night.

The track was at its worst with some horrible ruts and holes in places between, after and in front of obstacles which caught front tyres badly, affected launches and twisted bikes on take offs.

Mitch Brightmore came through the pack, after getting caught in the rocks on lap one, to join the fight for the podium. He worked his way passed Karlsson and then his brother before a tucked front dropped him back again.  

A big crash for Bolt mid-race brought Walker closer but it didn’t stop the champ taking a final victory ahead of Jonny and Ash, which meant the top three closed out the season in championship finishing order.

The overall podium saw Jonny and Ash joined on the same points but Walker taking second with a two second places.

Junior World Championship:

A slightly chaotic moto one in the Juniors saw Milan Schmuser lead, lose it but then fight back to the front for the moto win. The admittedly nervous champion in waiting, Marc Fernandez, had a steady and safe P4 to edge closer to the crown but not yet claim it.

Moto two was the one for Fernandez who took the lead from a front row start. Clearly still taking it calm and collected, he let Schmuser take over the lead but, true to form, the German made a mistake and let Fernandez back through to win the race and win an emotional world title.

Moto three seemed like a formality to end the series as riders got themselves over the finish line for the season in a relatively calm race out front. Schmuser finally nailed a race without mistakes and took the final win without hassle with Fernandez second.

Roland Liska and Toby Shaw were the focus of attention as they had a ding-dong for the last podium place. In the end it came down to the final moto for these two where they banged elbows and Liska eventually muscling to fourth in the race but third overall in the Junior World Championship by one point from Shaw.

Youth World Cup:

Another night of close racing in the 125 class saw Frasier Lampkin leading moto one but fending off in a nip and tuck fight with champion elect Ramon Godino.

The Spaniard looked like he had the speed and true to form took the lead, went on to win and with that claim the first-ever Youth World Cup crown. It was a well-earned victory and fitting he claimed the title with victory for the AG Beta Racing team.

Moto two saw the tables turned with Lampkin working hard to keep it clean on a difficult track for the 125. The Beta UK rider held off the new champ and sealed second overall in the championship, plus the overall win on the night, despite tying on points with Godino.

Luca Kropitsch was third overall, the Austrian taking a maiden podium in Lievin. However, Michal Laska took a brace of fourth places on the night and claims third overall in the championship on a TM.
