Marcel Stauffer felt very comfortable on the hard ground
Stauffer was on the verge of a perfect race record on the “Waldkurs” (Forest Course). After remarkable duels, he won the first two races and attacked the leading Nagl several times in the third race. After several changes of position, the two and Stauffers came to fall. Nevertheless, he defended second place in the race and won the event classification of the ADAC MX Masters for the first time in his career.
“I came with high expectations and showed that I was very fast on hard floor. The duels with Max were a lot of fun, even though I came to fall in the last run. So a weekend motivated very shocking and gives me a breath of breath and motivation after my season started a bit bumpy. I hope that I can take the swing with me in the sand to Tensfeld,” said Stauffer.
Max Nagl satisfied after race
Nagl started on Saturday with the Red Bull Holeshot in the first run, but had to admit defeat after a remarkable duel Stauffer. In the second race, he finished the first lap in fifth place and quickly finished second behind Stauffer. In the last lap, he was pushed by Roan Van de Moosdijk (NL/Kosak Racing Team) to third place, which achieved his best result in Bielstein. In the third race, Nagl passed the third round of quick-starter Noah Ludwig (D/KTM Sarholz Racing Team). After a round-long duel with Stauffer, Nagl celebrated his first race victory on the weekend, Ludwig finished third. After Van de Moosdijk had already been cancelled in the first lap after a crash in the third round, Nagl extended his lead in the championship to 42 points.
“Marcel was enormously fast this weekend. The duels with him were tough, but very fair and respectful. The collision in the third run was unintentional. The weekend was very intense for me, but very good. I took important points in the championship,” beamed Nagl.
Jordi Tixier is back
After an overthrow from the preparation of the season, Tixier in Bielstein successfully entered the ADAC MX Masters season. He already returned as Acerbis Best Qualifier in the qualification.

In the second race, Ludwig rounded off the top five, in the third race it was Talviku again. Ludwig and Talviku also included positions four and five in the event classification.
“Standing directly on the podium at my first event is like a dream come true. I can hardly believe it and would like to thank all those who made it possible and believed in me. I was only able to train on the bike five times in the preparation for Bielstein and am very happy with the pole position and my good race,” said Tixier emotionally.
In the championship, the top five have not changed, it continues to lead Nagl ahead of Van de Moosdijk, Maximilian Spies (D/Becker Racing), Talviku and Ludwig.
