Racing tension is sky-high for a weekend that promises pure spectacle, asphalt-edge sliding, and fierce battles in the dirt section of the Belgian track, where the fates of the three benchmark categories will be decided: the premier class S1GP and the two European championships S2 and SM Junior.
In S1GP he battle for the world title is blazing hot and the grid promises to be of the highest level. The “Jules Tacheny” circuit, with its famous ups and downs, mixed sections, and technical turns, will put the endurance and talent of the contenders to a severe test.

Completing the picture of glory seekers are TSV Racing Factory Team Steve Bonnal, a young French talent on a strong rise and determined to close the season with an extraordinary flourish, and the Italian BRT Factory Team Elia Sammartin, ready to deploy all his experience and racing instinct to fight until the very last corner of the weekend. The technical combination of the track will demand maximum precision and courage, forcing contenders to make no mistakes and make the absolute best of every single point available between the Pole Position time trials, the always spectacular Fast Race, and Sunday’s decisive SuperFinal.
Great anticipation and guaranteed spectacle also surround the verdicts of the European championships, veritable breeding grounds of champions where the battle for the continental throne is more open than ever. In the S2 class, the spotlight is on the final sprint featuring riders of high technical caliber like Leonardo Lapadula, in full contention for the European title thanks to consistent and incisive performances, Yevsevii Kovalov, determined to overturn predictions and win the continental crown, and Nathan Terraneo, ready to play his last and decisive cards for glory in a highly competitive category. Spectacle is assured and takes center stage also in SM Junior, where the youngest talents of international Supermoto will hit the track with knives between their teeth to lift the coveted category cup to the sky, with a battle for final victory featuring prospects of the caliber of Mark Szabo, David Zsolt Bereczki—who could take to the track following a training injury—and Lorenz Bang, confirming the excellent state of health and constant growth of the youth movement.
