At the final round of the 2025 FIM Long Track World Championship in Roden, Dave Meijerink won the home race, but the overall title went to Britain’s Zach Wajtknecht, who claimed his first FIM gold medal.
Wajtknecht, second in 2022 and bronze last year, started the day close to the leaders and battled against Germany’s Lukas Fienhage and compatriot Chris Harris. After a series of intense heats, mechanical issues, and disqualifications affecting other top contenders, Wajtknecht secured enough points to clinch the championship.
Meijerink dominated the Dutch home race and finished ahead in the final, while Wajtknecht focused on holding off rivals like Harris to ensure his historic victory in the overall championship.
