STRONG RESULTS FOR LETTENBICHLER AND GARCIA AT SUPERENDURO ROUND ONE

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Manuel Lettenbichler and Josep Garcia got the 2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship underway with strong performances at round one in Gliwice, Poland. Making his SuperEnduro debut as a wildcard, Garcia turned heads with a superb SuperPole lap and raced to an impressive sixth overall. Lettenbichler, returning to indoor competition for the first time since 2024, pushed hard across all three races to secure eighth and a solid start to his full-season campaign.

After qualifying for his first-ever SuperPole, Garcia delivered a clean, calculated lap to secure the fifth-fastest time aboard his KTM 250 EXC-F. The impressive effort earned the Spaniard a front-row start, while Lettenbichler’s eighth-place qualifying result placed him on the second row for race one.

At the gate drop, Lettenbichler made the most of his second-row position, charging into the top three at the halfway stage of lap one. Garcia wasn’t far behind – quickly overtaking his teammate to slot into the top three. As the race progressed, both KTM riders were shuffled back in the intense battle, fighting for a place in the top six. Garcia and Lettenbichler went bar-to-bar through the final laps, ultimately finishing sixth and seventh respectively, with Garcia edging out his teammate by less than two seconds at the line.

Race two’s reverse-grid format placed Lettenbichler on the front row, and the hard enduro ace wasted no time, launching into fourth place early on lap one. Garcia, starting further back, avoided the chaos at turn one and settled into a steady rhythm despite fighting his way from the rear of the field. Lettenbichler maintained a strong pace until a small error cost him several positions. Garcia, meanwhile, thrived in the tight battles with SuperEnduro regulars, carving his way through the pack. At the finish, Garcia secured eighth, with Lettenbichler bringing his KTM 300 EXC home in 11th.

The final race of the night delivered plenty of drama. Garcia made another strong start and rode with precision, holding a top-three position for several laps. A clash with another rider in the pipe section cost the Spaniard crucial seconds and opened the door for Lettenbichler to slip past. The two Red Bull KTM teammates battled to the line, with Lettenbichler edging ahead to claim fifth and Garcia four seconds back in sixth.

Wrapping up an intense night of SuperEnduro racing, Garcia secured sixth overall, with Lettenbichler just three points back in eighth. The team now shifts focus to round two, set for January 3 in Riesa, Germany.

Manuel Lettenbichler: “It’s been a bit of a mixed day for me. I definitely felt a bit rusty when I came into the race – the pace is really high, the track is slippery and tough, and it’s so easy to make mistakes. I’m pretty happy with how I rode in the end, my pace improved as the night went on, but I still didn’t feel totally confident, so there are some things we need to work on, including the set-up of the bike. I got a top-five in one moto, which was a goal coming here because the guys are so fast. I’m looking forward to having a bit of downtime over the Christmas break now, but then we’ll get ready for round two and be a little more prepared to challenge the top guys.”

Josep Garcia: “I’ve finished the first-ever SuperEnduro of my life and I’m really proud of how I rode. One goal was to qualify for SuperPole and I was able to achieve that, along with a really good lap. My other main goal for the races was to give 100 percent as always but most of all to have fun. The first race went well – I was able to stay out of trouble and get a good result. The second race was more complicated with its reverse start, but I was able to fight my way through quite well. In the last race, I was running third but made a mistake in one of the most technical sections and dropped down a bit. The best feeling comes from the fact that I was able to improve from the first moto to the last – my riding improved and I really found a good rhythm out there. It’s been so much fun, and I think there are definitely some skills from SuperEnduro that I can take through to EnduroGP. I really hope in the future I can race a full season.”

2026年6月21日（日）、福島県で開催されたJNCC R5 チーズナッツパークで、矢野和都が小林雅裕との大接戦の末、異例となる両者総合1位を獲得。成田亮も10番手スタートから怒涛の追い上げを見せて総合4位。 17年ぶりのチーズナッツパーク、悪天候により大混戦に JNCCがチーズナッツパークで開催されるのは17年ぶり。当日は大雨が降り、FUNクラス開始直前には雷が発生。レース開始が約30分間中断されるなど、波乱の幕開けとなりました。 スタート3番手から首位争いへ、矢野和都が総合優勝を獲得 KTM 300 XCを駆る矢野和都（RG3 Racing / KTM 300 XC）は、1周目を3番手で通過すると、着実に前のライダーをかわし、2周目には2番手、3周目にはトップへ浮上。KTM 300 XCの高いポテンシャルを活かした走りで小林雅裕とのトップ争いを演じました。 コースでは29番ポストで大渋滞が発生し、多くの上位ライダーがスタックする場面もありました。その中で矢野は小林にトップを譲ることとなりましたが、ラスト3周で再びトップに立つと、2人は一進一退の攻防戦を繰り広げます。ラスト2周で小林が再びトップを奪いますが、最終ラップで矢野が先行しそのままゴール。見事総合優勝を獲得しました。なお、JNCC側の裁定により、今回は矢野と小林がどちらも総合1位という結果となりました。 矢野和都：「今回はマウンテンコースで、かなりのマディで、ハードエンデューロ的なテクニックが求められる大会だったので自信はありました。また、バイクも2速全開でグイグイ伸びてくれて、渋滞ポイントでも脇のラインからスッと抜けることができたので、バイクに助けられた部分も大きかったです。 小林選手と接戦なのは分かっていて、スタックポイントだったヒルクライムが勝負のポイントになると思っていたので、最終ラップはその手前で呼吸を整えて、一撃必殺で勝負を仕掛けました。小林選手がそこでスタックしていたため、その隙に前へ出て、そのまま逃げ切ることができました。本当にバイクが良かったです。皆さん応援ありがとうございました！」 10番手から着実な追い上げ見せた成田亮は総合4位 矢野と同じくCOMP-AA1クラスに出場した成田亮（NRT basistauto KTM香川 / KTM 250 XC-W）は、序盤10番手スタートと少し出遅れましたが、周回を重ねるごとに順位を上げ、最終的には総合4位でフィニッシュを果たしました。成田にとっては、6月4〜7日に行われたエルズベルグロデオ（※世界一過酷と言われるハードエンデューロレース）参戦後初のJNCCであり、今回の結果については悔しさを滲ませていましたが、悪コンディションのなかでKTM 250 XC-Wの高い信頼性と走破性を証明しました。 成田 亮：「250 XC-Wを300ccにボアアップして、マシンの調子はめちゃくちゃ良かったです。エルズベルグで経験したことを活かせるかなと思ったんですが、スタックポイントがなかなか上手くいかず、歯車が合わなくて総合4位になってしまいました。でも、まだチャンピオンシップに向けて逆転できる位置にいるので、次戦は同じKTMの矢野選手に負けないよう一生懸命頑張ります！」 KTMは2026年JNCC第5戦において、総合1位と4位を獲得。苦戦を強いられるコンディションの中、マシンとライダー両方の実力が発揮された大会となりました。JNCCシリーズは残すところあと4戦。両者ともにチャンピオン争いを白熱させていきます。 2026年JNCC R5 チーズナッツパーク　COMP-GP 総合リザルト 1. 矢野 和都 KTM 300 XC (RG3 Racing) 2:22:53.006 (13周) 1. 小林 雅裕 Husqvarna FC 250 (ALPHATHREE) 2:22:53.006 (13周) 3. 西村 太一 （林道単車会&モトピットヒオキ）2:30:55.397 (13周) 4. 成田 亮 KTM 250 XC-W (NRT basistauto KTM香川) 2:28:51.913 (12周)
