Stuttgart SX - Preview
After the magnificent 40th ADAC Supercross Stuttgart last year, the ADAC Württemberg will ring in the next decade of the indoor spectacle on 7 and 8 November 2025. As usual, the rider line-up is impressive and has some big names in the scene.
One of the top favourites for the title of "King of Stuttgart" for the overall winner of the SX1 top class is the Stuttgart veteran Cedric Soubeyras, one of the most successful French Supercrossers of recent years.
The multiple French Supercross champion and two-time European champion has already been runner-up in the ADAC SX Cup in Germany twice (2022/2023 and 2023/2024). The local SX king of 2022, who is competing for Luke's Racing on a Honda this time, definitely has to be on the list again this year.
Although the Swabian metropolis will have to do without a few strong Frenchmen this year due to the clash of dates with the Supercross World Championship WSX, there will still be plenty of good and well-known riders from our neighboring country at the start.
For example, Lucas Imbert (Sturm Racing Team, Honda), who became "Prince of Stuttgart" in parallel with Cedric Soubeyras in 2022. Furthermore, Adrien Escoffier (VisuAlz Production, Yamaha), Julien Lebeau (Dörr Motorsport Triumph Racing powered by Krettek, Triumph) and Anthony Bourdon (Motorrad Waldmann, Honda) can be expected to do a lot.
For the first time, the American Supercross icon Jake Weimer will come to the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle. The great successes of the man from the US state of Idaho are already some time behind due to some injuries and a temporary career stop, but he has not forgotten how to ride Supercross.
Definitely, his home country's AMA Supercross champion in the Lites West Coast Championship (2010) and then Kawasaki factory rider in the 450cc class will conjure up an aura in Stuttgart's SX temple that is second to none.
His best year was 2012, when he finished fifth in the (big) US Supercross Championship and third in the National Outdoor Series. At the end of the year, he became "King of Paris" as the overall winner of the legendary Supercross in France's capital.
Jake Weimer secured another entry in the history books in 2009 when he won the team world championship title for his country together with his teammates Ryan Dungey and Ivan Tedesco at the annual motocross highlight "Motocross of Nations" in Franciacorta, Italy.
After his career stop due to injuries, Weimer decided to make a comeback this year and showed that he still has what it takes, including third place at the Loretta Lynn's Amateur Nationals in his home country. He now wants to demonstrate this on a Honda of the Backyard Design Racing Team in Stuttgart.
The eternally young duel of nations will also be France against the USA at the 41st ADAC Supercross Stuttgart. In addition to the aforementioned Jake Weimer, at least similar calibers as Joshua Hill (Luke's Racing, Yamaha), Mitchell Oldenburg (HFour Racing Team, Beta), Jeremy Hand (Luke's Racing, Honda) and Mitchell Harrison (Kawasaki Team Pfeil, Kawasaki) will be there.
Joshua "Josh" Hill from the US state of Oregon has been a guarantor for finishing in the top 10 in the US Supercross series in recent years. In the FIM WSX series, the official Supercross World Championship, he finished fifth in 2022.
The US boy Mitchell Harrison from Michigan showed what he is capable of last year in Stuttgart with fourth and seventh places in the final in SX1.
Texan Mitchell Oldenburg is a current factory Beta rider and was once the first rider to qualify for a 450 Main Event on a 250. He is also a regular top 10 rider on the other side of the pond, but mainly in the Lites class of 250cc machines. His best year was 2022, when he finished fourth in the East Coast Championship. In the same year, like Josh Hill, he finished fifth in the Supercross World Championship, but in his favorite SX2 class.
Similar calibers already known in Stuttgart are Jeremy Hand from Ohio and Mitchell Harrison from Michigan. Both made their German debuts last winter, with Jeremy Hand finishing fifth overall in the 2024/2025 ADAC SX Cup. Mitchell Harrison was only at the start in Stuttgart and showed what he is capable of here with fourth and seventh places in the final.
In the small SX2 class, Frenchman Calvin Fonvieille (KTM Sarholz Racing Team, KTM) will start the race as the winner of the 2024/2025 ADAC SX Cup and, on paper, will primarily have to deal with his compatriot and "Prince of Dortmund" 2025, Jules Pietre (Meyer Yamaha Racing powered by DirtScrub, Yamaha). One should also keep an eye on the American Brandon Ray (Luke's Racing, Husqvarna) and the Frenchman Mathys Boisrame (Sturm Racing Team, KTM), both of whom also performed well in Germany last winter.
