Traditional the 24th ADAC-Supercross in Stuttgart took place in early November in the Schleyerhalle. A well and technical prepared track was waiting for the fans and riders and promised really good racing action.
Friday night
In front of 5.000 spectators it was the evening of Rodrig Thain. First time in Germany the French rider on his TKM-Suzuki did an impressive win in the SX1 main.
After some years in the USA, he showed his SX skills and dominates the final easily. He found the best lines and nobody could follow him.
Last year Saturday’s winner Jason Thomas finished in second position after a fast but inconspicuous race.
The podium was completed by another French rider, Christoph Martin on his twostroke Sarholz KTM. Best German rider was Daniel Siegl on 9th position.
Like last winter it seems Siegl is the best German rider in this SX1 class. Sadly Siegl crashed with local hero Collin Dugmore in the semi final while fighting for second position. This crash follows a DNF for Dugmore and he missed the main.
Saturday night
7.100 fans saw great action and awesome vibes on Saturday evening. A great final in SX1 class with a dramatically show down in the last corner was the highlight. Jason Thomas was leading the race after passing Florent Richier and former Stuttgart winner Cole Siebler.
Jason Thomas won on saturday and the overall ranking
It seemed like Thomas controls the race in the second half of the final. But Siebler fights till the last corner. With a high risk move at the last jump he put himself nearly alongside Thomas and had the chance to pass him on the inside of the corner. A hard block pass was the only possibility for Siebler to take the victory but he forwent on it which was a really fair move. So Thomas finished some metres before Siebler. A save third place went to Florent Richier.

Friday main winner Rodrig Thain had bad luck on Saturday. He crashed in the first corner after the start and finished in disappointing 8th position.
Collin Dugmore was crowds darling on Saturday. After a good start he rode some laps on 4th position.
Dugmore was handicapped because of pain in his hand resulting of his crash with Siegl at Friday.
Some riders passed him and finally he crashed in the last lap again. 11th place was the result for 38 years old Dugmore.
German Daniel Siegl was fast and smooth on this Saturday but had bad luck with several crashes and missed the final. The overall victory went to Jason Thomas.
SX 2 Class
Another local hero, Manuel Chittaro, was the overall winner in class SX2. On both nights he finished second but that was enough. Friday winner Johan Marillier had a DNF on Saturday, Saturday winner Fabien Izoird had a DNF on Friday.

Mentionable was Rasmus Jörgensen. Youngest rider with an age of 15 years he finished on the podium on Saturday short after Chittaro.
