The third round of the ADAC German Motocross Championship took place this weekend in Aichwald, where once again, Larissa Papenmeier dominated the competition. The SYE Racing Team 423 rider delivered another perfect weekend, winning both races (1-1) and continuing her unbeaten run in the 2025 championship. Leading both motos from start to finish, she further extended her advantage at the top of the standings.
Behind her, Alexandra Massury (2-2), the reigning ADAC German champion, had what may have been her strongest weekend of the season. After starting third in the first race, she moved into second by lap five. In the second moto, she was part of a three-way battle for the runner-up spot. With a decisive move in the final stages, the KTM rider secured second place overall.
Elena Kapsamer (3-3), the 2025 EMX Women European Championship runner-up, also maintained her impressive form. Despite a crash in the opening race and a problem with her goggles, she fought back and claimed third place on the final lap. In race two, the Austrian rider was once again in contention for second, and her consistency landed her another podium finish with a 3rd overall.
Making her return this week following a crash at the MXGP of Germany, Fiona Hoppe (4-5) had a solid day. The Triumph rider showed strong pace in the first moto but lost third position on the final lap. In the second race, after a slower start, she put in a determined charge to finish fifth, securing fourth overall for the round. Tanja Schlosser (6-4) had a good first race before making a mistake in the second half. Leading the trio battling for second place in Race 2, she finished fourth. A top-five finish for the Triumph rider. Mara Benecke (5-6) ended her day in sixth place. The KTM rider fought throughout both races, often battling with Selina Schilttenhelm, who went on to win the MX-Ladies powered by DMV class. Benecke took advantage of Schlosser’s late-race mistake in moto one to secure her position.
Kim Irmgartz (7-7) had a consistent day despite poor starts. The Honda rider made strong comebacks in both motos and showed good speed, collecting valuable championship points. Young Austrian Joela Freudenthaler (9-8) continues her promising season. She had a particularly strong start in moto two and finished eighth overall for the day. Franka Blümchen (10-9) followed in ninth, recovering from a slow start in the first race to gain positions. Emely Köhler (14-11) completed the top ten. Poor starts limited her chances for a higher finish, but her pace was respectable throughout the round.
Larissa Papenmeier : “It was a good weekend. Hot for sure. But yeah, I like the heat. They prepared the track really good. Put a lot of water, ripped it pretty deep. So we had some deep lines, which I really like. So yeah, had some good starts. I got two holeshots and two race wins. I couldn’t do any better actually. I extend my championship lead. And so yeah, that was a goal. So I’m happy about the weekend. I had a lot of fun and I really like the organization there in Aichwald. They do a lot for the girls. They have a lot of fans and visitors there. So yeah, it’s always nice to come to that race and have a good weekend. “
The next round of the ADAC German Women’s Motocross Championship will be held in Bielstein in two weeks.
