Mario Román won Sunday’s Lost Road main race at Hixpania, ahead of Manuel Lettenbichler and Billy Bolt. KTM’s October 25 report lists that order as provisional. The October 23–25 event in Aguilar de Campoo, Spain, completed the eight-round 2026 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship. [1]

The championship had already been settled earlier in the weekend. Lettenbichler’s fifth place in Friday’s SuperEncierro was enough to secure the title, according to KTM. His second place on Sunday therefore closed a title-winning weekend rather than deciding the crown at the final checkered flag. [1]

KTM describes the achievement as Lettenbichler’s fifth consecutive FIM Hard Enduro World Championship and his sixth world title overall. Those descriptions refer to different totals; the sixth overall title should not be presented as a sixth consecutive crown in this championship. [1]

Bolt supplied another thread through the three-day program. Husqvarna’s report confirms that he won both Friday’s SuperEncierro and Saturday’s Campoo Xtreme before taking third in Sunday’s main race. Saturday’s victory came by 3.5 seconds over Lettenbichler after more than 74 minutes of racing. [2]

Husqvarna also notes that Bolt missed three championship rounds during the season. In his account of the final race, he described recovering strength later in the event and making the move for third on the last lap. That provides context for the podium without turning the weekend’s earlier wins into a Sunday victory. [2]

The reports point to two distinct achievements: Román taking the final main race and Lettenbichler completing another championship campaign. For Bolt, the Friday and Saturday wins and Sunday podium provided a positive finish to his outdoor season. Keep the session names attached when comparing the three days of results. [2]

KTM labels its result list and season standings provisional. We retain that qualification and omit a definitive championship points table. [1]
