Round three of the ADAC MX Masters will take place this Saturday, May 16, and Sunday, May 17, in Bitche, France. Live coverage, schedule, preview and race results. Everything will be available in this post.
For only the second time in the history of the series, the ADAC MX Masters will host an international round in France. Just like last year, the action will unfold at the “Circuit du Martinsthal” in Bitche.
RACE 1 REPORTS
Max Nagl (Dörr Motorsport Triumph) dominated the opening moto with a commanding wire-to-wire performance ahead of Roan van de Moosdijk (Kosak KTM). It was a relatively uneventful race at the front, as Nagl controlled the pace from start to finish. Jere Haavisto (Schmicker Silver KTM) completed the top three.
In the Youngster Cup class, reigning champion Mads Fredsoe (Cat Moto Bauerschmidt KTM) secured his first race win of the season after leading every lap. Behind him, much of the attention was on championship leader Nicolai Skovbjerg (MX-Handel Husqvarna), who charged from outside the top ten to finish second. Valentin Kees (Kosak Racing KTM) came home third ahead of Scott Smulders (SixtySeven Husqvarna), who also made up several positions throughout the race.
Races 2 and 3 will take place tomorrow. Below you will find the live stream and full time schedule.

PREVIEW
In MX Masters class, Max Nagl arrives as the championship leader together with Dörr Motorsport Triumph Racing. The 38-year-old German announced after the previous round that he would focus more on recovery than intensive training in the lead-up to Bitche.
Nagl is coming off an important second overall finish in Dreetz, where he went head-to-head with Simon Längenfelder during the latter’s debut appearance on a 450cc machine. Despite that, the Triumph rider managed to win the third moto, extending his championship lead to 14 points over reigning champion Roan van de Moosdijk from the KTM Kosak Racing Team.

The Youngster Cup has also seen a change at the top of the standings, with Nicolai Skovbjerg taking over the red plate after his victory in Dreetz. He now leads by just eight points over Scott Smulders from the SixtySeven Racing Team Husqvarna.
Although Smulders has won three of the six motos held so far, inconsistency at crucial moments has prevented him from keeping the championship lead. Meanwhile, reigning champion Mads Fredsøe of Cat Moto Bauerschmidt KTM is still searching for his first overall victory of the 2026 season, but remains firmly in contention with the front group.
