Viral Brand gets its first Super Enduro Win and Podium in Poland with Dominik Olszowy and his Factory Reiju.
Prestige Class: Bolt vs. Olszowy
Saturday evening kicked off with the SuperPole race, where four-time FIM SuperEnduro World Champion Billy Bolt (GBR) clocked the fastest lap time. Jonny Walker (GBR) secured second place, while Eddie Karlsson (SWE) impressed with a strong third-place finish.
In the first final of the opening round of the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship, Bolt put on a masterclass, delivering a commanding performance to claim a dominant victory. Jonny Walker followed in second, unable to match Bolt’s blistering pace, while Dominik Olszowy (POL) completed the first final in third.
The second final, however, told a different story. Dominik 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 moto win in breathtaking style. Jonny Walker finished second again, while Ashton Brightmore (GBR), 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.
Billy Bolt 1st - Dominik Olszowy 2nd - Johnny Walker 3rd
Notably, motivated and eager to compete in the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship, Cooper Abbott (USA) made a strong impression with 4th, 7th, and 6th-place finishes across the three finals, ending up 5th overall. Abbott demonstrated that he can go head-to-head with SuperEnduro’s top riders and is sure to be a serious threat to his rivals as the series progresses.
