The German championship for BMX riders was on the brink because of Corona.
The BMX-Union Stuttgart jumped into the breach as the host.
Lucky for the drivers from the district, some of whom took advantage of the hour.
Stuttgart - In the meantime, the German championship for BMX riders was on the brink.
The club in Bispingen, originally intended as the host, had to cancel due to Corona.
For this, the BMX Union Stuttgart jumped into the breach.
The local clubs enjoyed several top positions.
MC Peißenberg:
Jonas Hellmer would certainly not have dreamed of that: As one of the youngest, he traveled to Stuttgart to compete in a race on a national level for the first time - he returned home as the winner of the Germany Cup.
Hellmer, who has been training with the BMX Team Peißenberg for almost two years, prevailed in the boys' class up to eight years of age.
In the final he was in second place after the start, but stayed with the driver in front of him.
In the second corner, Hellmer took the opportunity to overtake, took the lead and even extended his lead on the last straight.
The Deutschland Cup is the German championship for drivers who do not start in a license class.
Franziska Lengger, who now competes in the “Elite Women” class, has a lot more racing experience than Hellmer.
She also made it onto the podium - she won the bronze medal from a total of six starters.
Her brother Jakob Lengger was unable to start in Stuttgart due to an injury.
He would have been a candidate for a top placement among the 15-year-olds.

Benedikt Bichlmeyr (Boys 13/14) showed that he is currently in a good mood: He finished fourth in his class in the final. Lena Tafertshofer (Girls 13/14) also qualified for the final. In the finals she was initially in second position "and it looked as if she could go to the front of the field," said an MC announcement. But then Tafertshofer fell and had to bury her title dreams. In the end, she took eighth place. Marvin Hellmer (Boys 9/10), Simon Glas (Boys 9/10), Jamiro Löbel (Boys 13/14), Moritz Tafertshofer (Boys 15/16) and Jonas Auhorn (Men 17-29) made it into the semi-finals. . Entry into the knockout round was denied to the following MC drivers: Vinzenz Kronacker (Boys 8 & under), Moritz Kronacker (Boys 11/12), Robin Pixner (Boys 11/12), Lea Glas (Girls 15/16),Stefan Kerkenbusch (Boys 13/14) and David Pölzl (Men 17-29).
BMX-Team Weilheim:
Two riders from the BMX-Team Weilheim competed in the German championships: Mattis Perlik and Fiete Müller.
A special challenge was waiting for them, because in Stuttgart “there is not just any BMX facility, but the most modern one in Germany, which should have hosted a World Cup this spring,” said team spokeswoman Yvonne Gussin.
Driving skills, technique and the appropriate physique were required.
Mattis Perlik was in the boys 13/14 class with full commitment, but as a junior year he did not make it into the knockout round.
In the final bill, the Weilheimer came 19th.
