Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team’s Jonny Walker has secured second overall at the fifth round of the 2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship in Budapest. Taking his second consecutive SuperPole win, Jonny also claimed Triumph’s first SuperEnduro race victory in the second final, along with two other podium finishes, to maintain second in the championship standings.
Starting as he meant to go on, Walker put on a show in the MVM Dome for the one-lap SuperPole to achieve his second pole position in a row. Taking advantage of his first-choice gate pick for race one, Jonny had a strong start that put him in second place. The Brit went on the attack and stayed within a second of leader Billy Bolt for the majority of the race in a battle for the win. Demonstrating impressive focus despite the chaos happening around him, Jonny held his ground until the end of the race to secure a solid runner-up result.

Lining up on the back row for race two’s reverse-grid start, Jonny enjoyed an incredible start that saw him emerge from turn one in third place. Hunting down his rivals, the TF 250 racer took the lead on lap four and quickly began to open up a healthy advantage. Delivering a mistake-free masterclass, Walker raced on to secure a well-earned victory, marking Triumph’s first ever SuperEnduro race win.
Race three got off to a rocky start, with Walker set to claim the holeshot until he slid out on the first corner. Quick to remount, Jonny immediately set about chasing down the riders ahead of him and made eight impressive overtakes in the first two laps to slot himself in sixth. Fighting hard to recover, the Brit continued to make up positions, making his final pass on the closing lap of the race to secure a well-deserved third-place finish.
Jonny’s impressive results comfortably awarded him a runner-up overall finish in Budapest, maintaining his position in second in the championship standings with two rounds left to race.
The penultimate round of the 2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship will take place in three weeks’ time for Jonny’s home round in the UK at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena on 1st March.

“Just finished up here in Budapest, P2 overall with a race win and SuperPole victory! There were definitely some positives to take away, and of course we are going to keep working hard ready for Newcastle in three weeks for my home race which I’m really excited for. The bike was perfect tonight and I have no complaints, so we’re just going to keep making steps every race and well be on that top step soon.”
