Vysoké Mýto (Czech Republic) 9 July 2026 – After the Italian appointment in Busca, Italy the FIM SuperMoto World Championship caravan prepares to face the fourth seasonal round on the selective Czech track. The Vysoké Mýto track, famous for its high-speed asphalt sections connected to a tricky and technical off-road section, will put the riders’ athletic preparation and tire management to a severe test across all three categories. Julen Ávila Cortés (MTR KTM Racing) resists the onslaught of Marc Reiner Schmidt (Team Undici) in the premier S1GP class, while the European S2 lives on a knife-edge point battle between Lapadula (Team Undici) and Kovalov (Husqvarna). In the SM Junior, the hunt is on for the dominant Bereczki (Husqvarna).
The premier class arrives in the Czech Republic closer than ever at the top positions. Spaniard Julen Ávila Cortés (MTR KTM Racing) will line up at the start as the championship leader with 214 points. A solid leadership, built on impressive consistency, but anything but reassuring: right behind him, just 7 lengths away, multi-champion German Marc Reiner Schmidt (Team Undici) is eager at 207 points, determined to leverage his massive experience at Vysoké Mýto to reclaim the red plate. Third position goes to Steve Bonnal (TSV Racing), who suffered a few too many mistakes in the Italian round. Just outside the virtual championship podium sits the first of the Italians: Elia Sammartin (BRT Racing), fourth in the general standings with 156 points, intent on inserting himself into the fight for the round victory. The top 5 is completed by Swiss rider Mitja Krasniqi (Gazza Racing). The Vysoké Mýto weekend will be special for local idol Jonas Nedved (TMS Tuning Motorsport). Currently sixth in the world championship with 115 points, the Czech rider will lead the home squad (which also includes Jan Ulman and Milan Sitniansky) in front of his own crowd, aiming to secure a prestigious result.
Great show and razor-thin gaps also characterize the S2 European Championship class Leading the continental standings is Italian Leonardo Lapadula (Team Undici), in command with 132 points. However, his leadership is threatened by a highly reactive Yevsevii Kovalov: the Ukrainian rider sits in second position with 130 points, just two lengths away from the top. In third place, we find Swiss rider Nathan Terraneo with 117 points, closely followed by Belgian Noah Champagne (104 points).
The Czech weekend will also mark a turning point for the very young talents of the SM Junior European Championship. Until now, the class has had one and only master: the Hungarian Bereczki David Zsolt (KTM), undisputed championship leader with full points, having conquered a whopping 150 points thanks to an impressive winning streak. The German Lorenz Bang, second in the standings with 126 points, and the Romanian Mark Szabo, very close behind with 124 points, will have the primary objective in Vysoké Mýto to break the leader’s hegemony to reopen the title race. Following in the standings are the Belgian Jean Rondeaux (101 points) and the British Edward Darnton (99 points).
