Even a one-two finish wasn’t enough for Michael Kratzer at the final round of the 2026 Austrian Motocross Championship in Kirchschlag to displace his rival Michael Sandner – who finished second on both occasions – from the top of the Open class. Maximilian Ernecker put in a fine performance, finishing third twice on his debut in the Open class. On both occasions, the Czech Kawasaki rider Rudolf Plch finished behind him and ended the championship in third place.
Marvin Salzer claimed the title in the MX2 class. Although Simon Breitfuss won the first race and Michael Lackner (both on KTMs) won the second, Salzer maintained a consistent second place in both races and was rewarded with the title. GASGAS rider Florian Dieminger, who still had a chance of winning the title, came away empty-handed in the second race and has to settle for silver.
