Special classifications from Red Bull, Acerbis and Bridgestone. GoldFren proves to have a heart for the "middle class" and special people. Two team classifications promote the good work of the racing teams.

ADAC Story and Image

In addition to the riders' standings in the four racing classes, the ADAC MX Masters will also be distributing other attractive cash and non-cash prizes to drivers and teams in 2026. Among other things, there is the Red Bull Holeshot classification in each class, the Bridgestone "Rookies of the Year" or two different team classifications.

Red Bull Holeshot

Even after the introduction of the starting grids at all events, the following applies: a good start is half the battle for a successful race. Red Bull will pay the fees for the starting place in the ADAC MX Masters and the junior classes in the following season for the fast starters of the year. In the ADAC MX Masters class, Noah Ludwig shone in 2025 with eleven of a possible 24 Red Bull holeshots. In the ADAC MX Youngster Cup, the prize went to Maxime Grau. In the ADAC MX Junior Cup 125, Moritz Ernecker delivered a historic season and won all twelve Red Bull holeshots – a record. In the ADAC MX Junior Cup 85, Lucas Leok was the best in his class. Who will be the quick starters of 2026?

Acerbis Best Qualifier Award

In qualifying, the drivers create the conditions for a good starting position. The Acerbis Best Qualifier Award rewards the fastest drivers in qualifying sessions across all four race classes. The fastest qualifier in each class will receive a voucher from the Italian clothing and accessories brand Acerbis at each event. The best qualifiers of the season will also receive high-quality prizes at the end of the year. In 2025, the awards went to Jordi Tixier, Quentin Prugnieres, Ricardo Bauer and Lucas Leok. Leok managed a perfect season and started from pole position in all six events of the ADAC MX Junior Cup 85.

GoldFren Last Chance Race

GoldFren is once again showing a heart for the riders in the midfield this season and is 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 will be equipped by GoldFren. The Last Chance races will only be held if there is a sufficient number of starters.

Bridgestone Rookie of the Year

The ADAC MX Masters' junior development concept with its four racing classes is also supported by tyre manufacturer Bridgestone, which has been awarding the "Rookie of the Year" award in the ADAC MX Junior Cup 85 and 125 to the best class newcomers since the 2022 season. In these two junior classes, young drivers are observed throughout the season. In 2025, Moritz Ernecker and Evan Frost impressed with strong performances and each received a 500 euro bonus from Bridgestone.

Michael Spacek Special Prize

This special honour was created by Stanislav Spacek, the owner of the GoldFren company, to commemorate his son who died in an accident. The Stanislav Spacek Special Prize honors people who have stood out for their extraordinary commitment, outstanding personality or special merits – also in the field of fair play. In 2025, the prize went to Jordi Tixier, who made an impressive comeback after a serious vertebral injury and became a worthy award winner with unwavering fighting spirit.

Team and brand rankings

The ADAC MX Masters not only honours the riders' performances, but also rewards the teams with additional prize money. Since 2025, there have been two classifications. In the ADAC MX Masters team classification, the best results of a team rider per racing class are added together, with the result of the ADAC MX Masters class being counted twice. All four racing classes count here. In 2025, the Young Talents team ranking was also introduced, in which the best team results from the three junior classes are added together. In 2025, the Kosak Racing Team confidently won the annual ranking of both team classifications.

Other non-cash prizes

Many other non-cash prizes will be distributed by the series partners of the ADAC MX Masters. Weber-Werke will be supplying motorcycle lifts, workshop trolleys and toolboxes for the top three in the annual standings in the ADAC MX Junior Cup 125 and ADAC MX Junior Cup 85 classes. Ortema awards the top three in the annual ranking of the ADAC MX Youngster Cup with a voucher for a high-quality product from its product range.
