The winners of the additional classes: Fastest Starter and more

In addition to the rider rankings in the four racing classes ADAC MX Masters, ADAC MX Youngster Cup, ADAC MX Junior Cup 125, and ADAC MX Junior Cup 85, there will also be numerous additional rankings in 2025, in which riders and teams can win attractive cash and non-cash prizes. The final in Holzgerlingen will determine the winners of the Red Bull Holeshot, Acerbis Best Qualifier Award, Bridgestone Rookies of the Year, GoldFren Last Chance Race winners, and the recipient of the Michael Spacek Special Award.

Red Bull Holeshot

A good start is the best way to set yourself up for a successful race. Red Bull covers the entry fees for the fastest starters of the year in the ADAC MX Masters and junior classes for the following season. In the ADAC MX Masters class, Noah Ludwig (Germany/KTM Sarholz Racing Team) excelled with 11 out of a possible 24 Red Bull Holeshots. In the ADAC MX Youngster Cup, Maxime Grau (F/WZ-Racing KTM) and Maximilian Ernecker (A/SixtySeven Racing Team Husqvarna) each achieved four start victories, with Grau being declared the winner of the year due to his later holeshots. In the ADAC MX Junior Cup 125, Moritz Ernecker (A/KTM Sarholz Racing Team) delivered a perfect season, winning all twelve Red Bull Holeshots. This has never been achieved before. In the ADAC MX Junior Cup 85, Lucas Leok (EST/KTM MX Futures) was the best in his class with four successful start sprints in 13 races.

Acerbis Best Qualifier Award

Starting this season, clothing and accessories brand Acerbis is rewarding the fastest riders in qualifying for all four racing classes at each event with a voucher as part of the Acerbis Best Qualifier Award. The ADAC MX Masters class standings reflect an exciting and evenly matched season, with a different pole-setter at every event. Only Jordi Tixier (F/KMP-Honda-Racing by DVAG) managed to be the fastest in qualifying twice. In the ADAC MX Youngster Cup, Quentin Prugnieres (F/WZ-Racing KTM) won the annual standings with three best times, even though he dropped out of the championship early on. Ricardo Bauer (A/MSC Imbach MX Racing Team) won the award in the ADAC MX Junior Cup 125, also with three fastest qualifying times. Lucas Leok achieved a perfect record in the ADAC MX Junior Cup 85, starting from pole position at all six events. The award winners also received prizes from Acerbis.

Bridgestone Rookie of the Year

With the support of tire manufacturer Bridgestone, the ADAC MX Junior Cup 85 and 125 has featured a “Rookie of the Year” award for the best newcomers to the class since the 2022 season. Young riders in these two junior classes are observed throughout the season. Moritz Ernecker and Evan Frost (SA/Kosak Racing Team) each received a €500 bonus from Bridgestone for their performances in 2025.

GoldFren Last Chance Race

GoldFren shows its support for riders in the midfield by giving the winners of the Last Chance races a voucher for a set of brake discs and brake pads for their motorcycles. The ADAC MX Masters and ADAC MX Youngster Cup classes start together in the Last Chance race but are scored separately, so that each class winner is equipped by GoldFren. In the ADAC MX Masters class, the race victories went to Karel Tilk, Fynn-Niklas Tornau, Martin Venhoda, Mike Gwerder, William Kleemann, Robin Scheiben, Yuki Okura, and Thomas Vermijl. In the ADAC MX Youngster Cup, Sebastian Leok, Jaymian Ramakers, Fabian Kling, Lennox Willmann, Marius Adomaitis, and Joosep Pärn came out on top.

Michael Spacek Special Award

This award was established by Stanislav Spacek, owner of GoldFren, in memory of his son who died in an accident. The award is given to individuals who have distinguished themselves through exceptional commitment, outstanding personality, or special achievements, including in the area of fair play. This year, the Michael Spacek Special Award went to Jordi Tixier, who has impressed throughout his career with his indomitable will and fighting spirit. His successful comeback this summer after a serious spinal injury is further proof of Tixier's inspiring “never give up” attitude.
