The 2025 ADAC MX Masters season finale at the historic track in Holzgerlingen was all about endurance, fighting spirit, and team spirit for the SHR Motorsports by Hartje team.
Unfortunately, Emil Weckman and Dawid Zaremba had to miss the final round due to injury, which was a heavy blow for the team, but they were not willing to give up without a fight.
Mike Stender took to the starting line for SHR Motorsports by Hartje and bravely held the team flag high. He suffered a heavy crash in free practice, but despite the visible pain, he went into qualifying and showed enormous determination by securing 12th place in his group. Starting 23rd on the grid for the first race, Mike fought his way through the field impressively and finished in 16th place. A true demonstration of perseverance and fighting spirit.
On race Sunday, the team decided together with Mike to skip the warm-up after heavy rain during the night. This decision paid off: fresh and focused, Mike put in a spectacular performance in the second race. Starting from 20th place, he steadily worked his way up the field and finished the race in a well-deserved 10th place. A real highlight and proof that a fighter’s heart and concentration can move mountains.
However, the last race of the season brought another tough test: a stone got stuck between the clutch slave cylinder and the engine housing, causing Mike to lose a few positions within a few corners. Mike had to stop the motorcycle to fix the problem. Despite the lost time, he fought his way back up to 19th place. Once again, this was a sign of his tireless commitment and unbroken team spirit.
