Young motorsport talents from Jerichow: runner-up in sight!

Things are currently heating up in the heart of the German motorsport scene! The German Motocross Championship culminates in the season finale in Thurm near Zwickau, Saxony. Here the best drivers in the country fight for fame and honor. Eric Rakow, who has already been confirmed as champion, impressively shows why he is at the top of the DMX-250 series. His teammate Fritz Greiner, who was responsible for the Crown MX team starts, is in a thrilling duel for the runner-up with Linus Jung from KTM Sarholz Racing.

As befits an exciting season finale, the decision about second place could be exciting. While Greiner is doing everything he can to defend his place, he and Jung have already shown this season that they are among the strongest drivers in the competition. Both duels from the season, in which Greiner finished ahead of Jung, could be decisive. However, Greiner's quick start and his winning run in Dolle were quickly overshadowed by a crash and technical problems, which ultimately secured Rakow's championship early. Falk Greiner, Fritz's father, emphasizes his son's consistently good performance and that of the team that supports him and places great emphasis on youth work.

Fritz Greiner: Looking for the perfect run

For Fritz Greiner, this annual final is an important opportunity to gain experience and further develop his skills. Although he finished seventh in the MX2 class in 2024, he had achieved good placings of third and fifth in previous years. Continually improving his starts is now a high priority for him, which could probably help him significantly in his quest to claim the runner-up title. Greiner's team, which looks back on a proud tradition, promotes talent and regularly shows success on the track.

The German Motocross Championship is an absolute highlight in international motorsport. This is a platform that not only attracts national drivers but also international talent. This championship is considered the second highest award in German motocross and ensures exciting competitions. The ADAC has taken over responsibility for the event since 2024 and has also launched the German Women's Motocross Championship and a new series for the youngest on machines up to 50 cc.

A look back and forward

Eric Rakow did extremely well in the race for the championship this season. In Schweighausen he won both races and not only secured the title, but also a comfortable lead in the overall standings with 46 points ahead of Greiner and other strong drivers such as Ben-Lukas Bremser. What particularly stands out is the clear victory in the first run, which confirms Rakow as the unmistakable favorite in the DMX 250 series. In the daily rankings, Alexandre Marques and Fabian Kling also delivered remarkable drives, which further consolidated their positions.

Now it remains to be seen how the big season finale in Thurm will go. Will we celebrate a new runner-up, or can Fritz Greiner defend his place? The tension is rising not only on the racetracks, but also among the fans, who will be watching the final decisions of the season with rapt attention.
