Winners of the additional classes: Fastest Starter, Pole-Setter and Rookies

Talviku, Mansikkamäki, Leok and Martins Cirulis claimed the most Red Bull Holeshots. Van de Moosdijk dominated the Acerbis Best Qualifier standings. Leok and Horvath were named Bridgestone Rookies of the Year.

In addition to the riders’ standings in the four race classes – the ADAC MX Masters, ADAC MX Youngster Cup, ADAC MX Junior Cup 125 and ADAC MX Junior Cup 85 – there were also numerous additional classifications in 2026, in which riders and teams could win attractive cash and non-cash prizes. Following the season finale in Fürstlich Drehna, the annual winners of the Red Bull Holeshot classification and the Acerbis Best Qualifier Award have been confirmed, as have the Bridgestone Rookies of the Year, the winners of the GoldFren Last Chance races and the winners of the two team classifications.

Red Bull Holeshot

A good start is half the battle when it comes to a successful race. Red Bull covers the entry fees for the year’s fastest starters in the ADAC MX Masters and junior classes for the following season. In the ADAC MX Masters class, Jörgen-Matthias Talviku (EST/SHR Motorsports by Hartje) secured the annual title with seven out of a possible 21 Red Bull Holeshots. In Vellahn, the Estonian even won all three starts of the weekend. Max Nagl (D/Dörr Motorsport Triumph Racing) and Noah Ludwig (D/KTM Sarholz Racing Team) followed with four start wins each. In the ADAC MX Youngster Cup, Saku Mansikkamäki (FIN/Schmicker Silve Racing) was locked in a close battle with Bence Pergel (HU/HTS Racing Team) and narrowly came out on top with seven holeshots to six. In the ADAC MX Junior Cup 125, Lucas Leok (EST/KTM MX Futures) was the best starter in his class with five out of a possible 13 race wins, thereby repeating his success from the previous year in the ADAC MX Junior Cup 85. In that class this year, the twin brothers Martins and Patriks Cirulis (both LAT/Schmicker Silve Racing) were unbeatable, sharing all twelve Red Bull holeshots between them. With seven holeshots, champion Martins Cirulis came out on top.

Acerbis Best Qualifier Award

With the Acerbis Best Qualifier Award, the Italian clothing and accessories brand Acerbis rewards the fastest riders in the qualifying sessions across all four race classes at each event with a voucher. ADAC MX Masters champion Roan van de Moosdijk (NL/Kosak Racing Team) underlined his strong season in qualifying too, securing pole position at five out of seven events. Only Nagl at the season opener in Grevenbroich and Talviku in Vellahn were faster in qualifying. In the ADAC MX Youngster Cup, champion Nicolai Skovbjerg (DK/SixtySeven Racing Team) won the season’s overall standings with three fastest qualifying times, ahead of his team-mate Scott Smulders (NL/SixtySeven Racing Team), who was the fastest in qualifying on two occasions. Emil Ziemer (CH/Motobike Racing Team) claimed the award in the ADAC MX Junior Cup 125 with three fastest qualifying times. In the ADAC MX Junior Cup 85, Patriks Cirulis was also the fastest on three occasions and ended the season with two consecutive pole positions. The winners will also receive high-quality prizes from Acerbis.

Bridgestone Rookie of the Year

With the support of tyre manufacturer Bridgestone, the ‘Rookie of the Year’ award is presented in the ADAC MX Junior Cup 85 and 125 classes to the best newcomers in each class. In these two junior classes, young riders are assessed throughout the season. In the ADAC MX Junior Cup 125, the award went to Leok, who won the championship title straight away in his first year in the class. In the ADAC MX Junior Cup 85, Gergö Horvath (HU/HTS Racing Team) stood out as the best newcomer. Both will receive a bonus of 500 euros each from Bridgestone for their performances.

GoldFren Last Chance Race

GoldFren shows its support for riders in the midfield by presenting the winners of the Last Chance races with a voucher for a set of brake discs and brake pads for their motorbikes. The ADAC MX Masters and ADAC MX Youngster Cup classes start together in the Last Chance race but are classified separately, meaning that each class winner is kitted out by GoldFren. In the ADAC MX Masters class, the race victories went to Adrien Wagener and Axel Billottet. In the ADAC MX Youngster Cup, Ben-Lukas Bremser, Jonathan Frank, Linus Jung, Mick Kennedy and Gilen Albisua came out on top.

At the ADAC MX Masters, teams’ performances are also recognised with additional prize money. In the ADAC MX Masters team standings, which take into account all four race classes, the Kosak Racing Team defended its title from the previous year ahead of Schmicker Silve Racing and the KTM Sarholz Racing Team. In the Young Talents team standings for the three junior classes, victory went to MX-Handel Husqvarna Racing, followed by Schmicker Silve Racing and KTM MX Futures.
