Season final at the ADAC motorsport venue of MCE Tensfeld – and a day that goes down in Crown MX history: Ben Krämer seals the title in the 85 class, Katharina Schultz wins both races and finishes runner-up, and Cedric Keil rides his lap of honour as the freshly crowned MX1 champion.
Ben is champion
In 85 qualifying, guest rider Mads Dissing is fastest ahead of Lucas Taylor and Ben Krämer. Ben rides both races in a controlled way – second in the first, fourth in the second, third on the day. That's all it takes: with 330 points ahead of Enrik Hoffmann (317), Ben is the 2026 NMX champion. He led the standings after every single one of the eight rounds.
Katharina: two wins, runner-up
In the Women's class, Katharina Schultz sets the fastest time in qualifying by more than two seconds. Tarja Lauren Kück pushes hard in both races, but Katharina is the strongest on track and wins both races. In the end she is 14 points short of champion Lena Sofie Stender – Katharina took full points in every NMX round she started; the difference comes from the two rounds in Elstorf she missed. Runner-up, and a season worth framing.
Lara Kirsch races as a guest in the Women's class and rides 6-5 to fifth on the day; Saskia Kröger ends the season tenth in the final and sixth overall.
Cedric: champion with 353 points
Cedric Keil had already sealed the title in Badenhausen. In Tensfeld he finishes ninth in the first race and doesn't start the second. With 353 points and full NMX points nine times, he is the dominant MX1 champion – leader after every round. Charlie Dahlmann ends the season fifth, Cedric von Baath seventh.
2026 in numbers
Two championship titles, one runner-up title, plus Dirk Strahlendorf fourth in Seniors S50, Charlie Dahlmann's qualification for the Cross Finals and championship points for every registered Crown rider. Thanks to our partners, all helpers, parents and fans – this season belongs to you just as much. See you in 2027.
