Jonas Stankūnas – unbeatable all season

In the Supersport (SSP) class, there was practically no intrigue about the champion title – Jonas Stankūnas demonstrated exceptional consistency and speed throughout the season. The athlete won all possible victories in all six championship stages, thus confidently securing the 2026 champion title.

Arnoldas Graževičius took second place in the overall standings, and Paulius Lubas took third place.

B1200 – the champion was decided by just one point

One of the most dramatic season finales awaited in the B1200 class. Although Albert Antipov took the highest podium step in the last stage, it was not enough for him to take the championship leader position. The athletes finished the season with just a one-point difference.

Artūras Žigas became the 2026 Lithuanian champion, and A. Antipov won the vice-champion title. Tauras Jakaitis took third place in the overall standings.

In the B600 class – a ten-point lead

In the youngest class – a fight until the last stage

Equally interesting competition took place throughout the season in the SSP300 class. Two fastest class athletes – Gerardas Viskantas and Liutauras Gabševičius – competed for the champion title. During the season, both athletes repeatedly exchanged places on the highest podium step, so the champion title was revealed only in the last stage.

Liutauras Gabševičius became the 2026 SSP300 class champion, and Gerardas Viskantas won the vice-champion title. Gustė Jasiukaitytė took third place.

The “Bagger Racing Lithuania” cup also debuted at the “Nemunas Ring”
The final championship weekend at the “Nemunas Ring” was important not only for the participants of the Lithuanian road circuit racing championship. During the last stage, the third stage of the “Bagger Racing Lithuania” cup took place for the first time in Lithuania.

Although three “Bagger” type motorcycle athletes started in these races, their performance received special attention from motorcycle enthusiasts. A large group of bikers and “Bagger” motorcycle fans gathered at the “Nemunas Ring” to support the representatives of this increasingly popular class.

In the third stage, first place was won by Audrius Makarskas, second was Linas Pečiukaitis, and third – Laimonas Šatkauskas.

However, the “Bagger Racing Lithuania” season is not over yet – the last cup stage will also take place on September 5 at the Kačerginė “Nemunas Ring” track.
