Second overall for Jonny Walker at SuperEnduro round two in Germany
Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team’s Jonny Walker has delivered another strong performance at round two of the 2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship, finishing second overall in Riesa, Germany. Backed by consistent results across the night aboard the TF 450-E, Walker maintains second place in the championship after two rounds.
Walker began the evening in confident fashion by topping the timed practice session, immediately setting the pace on Riesa’s technical indoor track, which once again featured the venue’s iconic bridge obstacle. In SuperPole, a small mistake cost the Brit valuable time and placed him fifth on the grid, but he was quick to make amends once racing began.
Getting underway in race one with a strong start, Walker was lying second in the early stages before capitalising on a mistake from the leader to move into first. An intense battle followed, with bar-to-bar racing thrilling the packed arena. Despite leading for much of the moto, a late error allowed his rival back through, leaving Jonny to cross the line in second after a highly competitive opening race.
Race two saw Jonny line up from the second row for the reverse-grid start, where a controlled and assertive opening lap allowed him to climb quickly into third. Applying pressure in the fight for second, Walker executed a decisive pass before turning his focus to closing down the race leader. Although unable to bridge the final gap, he secured another second-place finish, further strengthening his overall position for the night.
In the final race of the evening, the TF 450-E rider did not get the cleanest start and found himself fighting from fifth in the early laps. Demonstrating his trademark determination, he worked his way forward into podium contention and spent much of the race battling for third. However, a mistake on the final lap dropped him back to fifth, bringing an end to an otherwise consistent and hard-fought race.
With a 2-2-5 scorecard, Walker claimed second overall on the night and continues to lie second in the championship standings after two rounds of the 2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship. The series now heads to Bilbao, Spain, for round three on January 17, where Walker and the Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team will look to maintain their strong momentum.
Jonny Walker
“I’m a bit surprised to come away with second place tonight, as I didn’t feel at my best on the track and struggled at times. That said, I’m happy with the result and the points. I had a big crash in the final race and hurt my arm slightly, but I’m hopeful I can get some good training done this week and come back stronger for Bilbao.”
