The final of the Pro Motocross Championship in the USA promises not only sporting excitement – from a German perspective, there is twice the reason to celebrate. Philipp Klakow and Robin Goldammer Two German riders are venturing into what is probably the most prestigious starting gate in motocross.
Comeback for Philipp Klakow
For Philipp Klakow The appearance at the season finale is a special comeback. The 36-year-old had a Femur fracture and has been on hiatus ever since. Now he's returning – on the big stage.
Klakow is not only very familiar with the USA in terms of sports. With his company Backyard DesignHe operates a major branch office in the United States for his company, which specializes in high-quality bike decals. A large portion of his business is generated in the US market—so it's no coincidence that Klakow regularly seeks to cross the Atlantic, even on a competitive level. However, the finale in Budds Creek will clearly be about the fun of racing.
Dream start for Robin Goldammer
The situation is quite different for Robin GoldammerFor the young German, competing in the Pro Motocross Final is the fulfillment of a long-held dream. Just last weekend, he competed in the final of the Amateur SX Series in Bauschheim, where he finished seventh. Just a few days later, he ventured onto the big stage in the homeland of motocross and faced the competition in the 450MX class.
Goldhammer is known in Germany mainly under its Start number 70 known, but in the USA it must be 570 – a small but symbolic difference in his debut on international terrain.
Two Germans at the gate of the premier class
The fact that two German drivers are in the 450MX class Standing at the starting gate is a rare sight. While Klakow is taking the opportunity to return to racing after his injury in the States, Goldammer is gaining his first experience at the highest outdoor level. Both are united by the courage to make the leap across the Atlantic – and the desire to compete with the world's best motocross riders.
A finale with a special touch
For German fans, this finale makes the already spectacular Pro Motocross series even more exciting. Whether Klakow can score points straight away in his comeback or Goldammer pulls off a surprise, one thing is certain: all eyes will be on the two Germans when the final gate of the season opens.
