With a positive conclusion, the first year of youth development in the HESG has come to an end. For the 2025 season, the joint support from Husqvarna and GasGas dealer ACE Bikes from Lauter-Bernsbach and the HardEnduroSeries Germany organization will continue.
The supported riders were able to deliver top performances as early as 2024. Henry Strauss, who even secured the overall series victory, is especially noteworthy. Henry will continue to receive support if he participates in the series again.
The other participants also showed significant improvement. Emil Kessler, Raven Lippold, Leon Raimann, and Leon Volland all made notable progress by the end of the season.

Denis Günther from the series organization also views the talent pool positively: "Inspired by other motorsport series, we launched the talent pool together with ACE Bikes in the past season. The support mainly focused on media work and assistance with entry fees. We plan to continue this approach in 2025, but we already have some ideas on how to expand the support effectively. In terms of sports, we have seen that we selected the right riders from the applications."

In 2025, Emil Kessler, Raven Lippold, and Leon Raimann will continue to receive support. Additionally, two new young talents will be selected from the applications in February.
The application phase starts on 15.11. at www.hardenduro-germany.de. All riders up to 18 years old are eligible to apply, with the condition that supported riders must participate in all rounds of the 2025 season.
The series registration for all riders begins as usual on 01.01.2025 at 12:00 pm.
