Claiming the holeshot in Final 1, Schm\u00fcser positioned himself out front, but immediately faced a strong attack from his rivals. Britain\u2019s Toby Shaw (GasGas) was able to fight his way into the lead on lap two, and with Schm\u00fcser under pressure, Shaw pulled out a gap over his classmates to eventually win by 10 seconds. Schm\u00fcser overcame some mistakes to secure second, with Spain\u2019s Manuel G\u00f3mez (Stark) coming home third.<\/p>\n<p>For Final 2, Schm\u00fcser made no mistakes this time around.

However, this time, Shaw was on his wheel tracks. For the entire race Shaw did everything he could to force Schm\u00fcser into a mistake. But as the laps wore down, the German held firm to take the win and with it the overall victory in Riesa. A great night by Shaw saw him finish as runner-up to Schm\u00fcser, while Strauss edged out G\u00f3mez by one point to make it a German 1-3 at round two.<\/p>\n<p><img data-lazyloaded=\"1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-204247\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Podium-Junior-photo-credit-Sport-UP-Agency.webp.jpeg\" alt=\"Podium - Junior : photo credit- Sport UP Agency\" width=\"678\" height=\"452\"  data-\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Podium \u2013 Junior\u00a0\/ photo credit: Sport UP Agency<\/p>\n<p>YOUTH \u2013 IMPRESSIVE DEBUT OVERALL VICTORY FOR KROPITSCH<\/p>\n<p>As ever, the Youth class delivered some of the most competitive racing on the night in Riesa.
