This coming weekend (12th/13th July), the fourth round of the ADAC MX Masters will take place on the ‘Waldkurs’ in Bielstein, together with the junior class ADAC MX Junior Cup 85 and the DMX Women's Championship. The traditional track on the Drabenderhöhe combines a classic and natural course with modern jumps and obstacles, always ensuring exciting races. Reigning champion Max Nagl (D/Dörr Motorsport Triumph Racing powered by Krettek) travels to the event as the leader in the ADAC MX Masters class. Harry Dale (GB/KTM MX Futures) leads the championship in the ADAC MX Junior Cup 85. The German Women's Championship will be held for the first time as part of the ADAC MX Masters. Larissa Papenmeier (D/SYE Racing Team 423) has won all of the races so far this season. Fans can watch the races from Bielstein both on site and via the free live stream at adac.de/mx-masters.

There have been three different winners in the three events held so far. Will there be a fourth overall winner in Bielstein? Max Nagl won the season opener and has led the championship ever since. Roan Van de Moosdijk (NL/Kosak Racing Team) and Maximilian Spies (D/Becker Racing) are his closest rivals in the standings, but are still chasing their first overall victory. Noah Ludwig (D/KTM Sarholz Racing Team) has already won one event and is keen to add another victory on the forest circuit. Jörgen-Matthias Talviku (EST/JMT Esttrans Yamaha Keskus Racing Team) is fourth in the standings, one place ahead of Ludwig, and has impressed with consistently good races. The season opener is eagerly awaited for runner-up Jordi Tixier (F/KMP-Honda-Racing powered by DVAG), who will be racing for the first time after a break due to injury. Emil Weckmann (FIN/SHR Motorsports by Hartje), Mike Gwerder (CH/HTS KTM Racing Team), Jere Haavisto (FIN/GripMesser Racing Team), Jakub Teresak (CZ/KMP-Honda-Racing powered by DVAG) and Marcel Stauffer (A/Osicka MX Team) are strong international riders competing in Bielstein. Nico Koch (D/Becker Racing), Cato Nickel (D/Bauerschmidt Husqvarna) and Peter König (D/KTM Sarholz Racing Team) are further German riders who could achieve top ten results. Local hero Lukas Platt (D/KTM Sarholz Racing Team) will not be able to start due to injury.

In addition to the ADAC MX Masters class, points will also be up for grabs in the ADAC MX Junior Cup 85 in Bielstein. Harry Dale is currently just ahead of his team-mate Lucas Leok (EST/KTM MX Futures), and fans can look forward to a close battle between the two top riders. The DMX Women will also be competing in the ADAC MX Masters for the first time. The series is led by the ‘Grande Dame’ of German motocross, Larissa Papenmeier, who is unbeaten so far. However, Alexandra Massury (D/RCK Racing Team), Fiona Hoppe (D/Dörr Motorsport Triumph Racing powered by Krettek) and Tanja Schlosser (D/Triumph) are hoping for their first race wins. The ADAC MX Masters and ADAC MX Junior Cup 85 classes will each contest three races at the weekend, while the DMX Women will race twice. The first championship points races in all three classes will take place on Saturday, immediately after the Last Chance Race.
