Hot on the heels of the Getzenrodeo, the Auner HardEnduroSeries Germany wrapped up its 2025 season at Rudersdorf, near Berlin, for the final round where Milan Schmuser capped off a dominant season with a dramatic last-lap win.

Under sunshine and mild temperatures, MC Woltersdorf delivered another technically tough track that tested the 50 finalists to their limits – only four laps were completed in the 55-minute final. 

Schmuser seals it in style

Beta rider Milan Schmüser capped off a dominant season with a dramatic last-lap victory to clinch the 2025 HESG championship. After a hard-fought battle with Leon Hentschel, Schmüser made his move in the final 200 metres to snatch the win and the title, with Henry Strauss finishing third. Marc Wulf once again brought home fourth, continuing his consistent season form.

“That was a tough final – Leon was incredibly strong. I had to fight until the very last second, but that’s what HESG is all about. I’m proud to have earned this title,” said Schmüser, who also received the new travelling champion’s trophy.

Earlier in the day, KTM’s Henry Strauss claimed the ACE Bikes Prolog Award with the fastest qualifying time, securing that category’s overall title. Guest rider Einar Meyer impressed in second on a Rieju, while Felix Strauss was third. Schmüser’s Prolog crash cost him a shot at the award, leaving him fifth in the session.
