With Max Nagl (D/KMP-Honda-Racing powered by Krettek) having already secured the title in the ADAC MX Masters, the focus now shifts to the three-way battle to finish runner-up in the championship. In the ADAC MX Youngster Cup, Nico Greutmann (CH/Cat Moto Bauerschmidt Husqvarna) comes into the event with a big lead over Bence Pergel (HU/HTS KTM). However, the tide could yet turn in the remaining three races. The title race is still wide open in the ADAC MX Junior Cup 125 too, with championship leader Maximilian Ernecker (A/F4E Gasgas Junior Racing) and his closest rival Aron Katona (HU/HTS KTM) both still in contention. In the ADAC MX Junior Cup 85, Ryan Oppliger (CH/Oppliger Racing Sàrl) holds a comfortable lead over Lucas Leok (EST/Team #111). However, even this class, there is still work to be done to wrap up the championship.

Having seen Max Nagl win the title with one round still to come, fans can now concentrate on the thrilling battle for second place, with just twelve points separating Tom Koch (D/Kosak Racing Team), Maximilian Spies (D/Kosak Racing Team) and Jordi Tixier (F/KMP-Honda-Racing powered by Krettek). Even Adam Sterry (GB/Schmicker Racing) in fifth place is still in with a shout. Other riders like Cornelius Töndel (NO/Schmicker Racing), Henry Jacobi (D/KTM Sarholz Racing Team) and local favourite Dennis Ullrich (D/KTM Sarholz Racing Team) will also be out to showcase their talent at the finale. Meanwhile, Marcel Stauffer (A/Osicka MX Team), who impressed with a race win on his debut in the top class in Gaildorf, will also line up again in Holzgerlingen.

In the ADAC MX Youngster Cup, Nico Greutmann comes into the season finale with a 56-point lead over Bence Pergel. Pergel, who has momentum on his side after recording his first overall victory in Jauer, will still believe he has a chance of clinching the title. Other riders in contention for positions at the top of the table include Bradley Mesters (NL/Kosak Racing Team), Rasmus Pedersen (S/Rhino Racing Team), Peter König (D/KTM Sarholz Racing Team), Tom Schröder (D) and Leon Rudolph (D/Enduro Koch Racing). In the ADAC MX Junior Cup 125, Maximilian Ernecker must defend his 19-point lead against Aron Katona if he is to win the title. With a 44-point advantage over Lucas Leok, Ryan Oppliger is also well placed to secure the title in the ADAC MX Junior Cup 85, but here too the championship is by no means cut and dried.

The track in Holzgerlingen is among the best and most attractive in Germany, and guarantees a fantastic atmosphere. Furthermore, KFV Kalteneck e.V. puts on an extensive event programme during the day, with something on offer for visitors of all ages, as well as live music in the party tent on Saturday evening.

Between 11:45 and 12:15 on Sunday, fans will have the opportunity to meet Max Nagl, Tom Koch, Maximilian Spies, Jordi Tixier and Dennis Ullrich during an autograph session at the ADAC MX Masters truck. The weekend culminates with the big ADAC MX Masters end-of-season presentation ceremony in the party tent on Sunday evening.
