Only the best 5 male & female riders qualify for the final run of the Adventure Ride Competition which was setup on part of the MX track. All the riders have the chance to score major points in back to back stages that require a high level of riding skill to be completed succesfully.

See an introduction to the course by Robert Loschütz (founder of the Enduroa Action Team) and demonstrated by no other than 2x Supermoto World champion Bernd Hiemer on a KTM 790 Adventure R Rallye. The explanation will be in German but it should easy to follow what the riders have to do. All riders will have to use all the skill and wit to master this course - sometimes it is smarter to skip a stage than to collect minus points for not completing it successfully.
The intructor team has been very creative in creating a fun to watch spectacle which concluded an amazing Adventure Ride Competition Event. Seeing Bernd struggle with some of the stages will give you an appreciation of the skill require to go through this final ride on a heavy adventure motorcycle.
I had my drone up in the air to get some video footage of the some of the riders with daylight fading quickly.
I'm waiting and always hesitating
Kryptonite desires set my heart afire
Welcome to the Netherlands!
1, 3, 8!
Direction please!
Come on, please keep your distance
There are stop zones, we will explain that in a moment
You are allowed to stop and take a short breath
In general, a stop or fall is a break from the exercise with minus 150 points
Always the colleague who is in charge of the station asks you before
Yes or no
Yes, I do that
Or I don't do that
You have to empty the cans
They have to stay in there
Give up
Empty the cans
Done
Stop
Now the time starts
This is your reference time
Because you will ride this track again in a moment
A narrow chicane
Zack, Zack
Short breath
Red line
Zack, time has stopped
You are allowed to try it with the jump
I don't recommend it
You have to stop
Gant, go ahead
Now you have to keep calm
Right on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Break it
Here it is
I have to say that it didn't work so well
If you have watched it before, you have seen that Micha almost made a mistake
So it's definitely better
So tighten up
You are such a twist
To the station Frank Breuler
Translated title
It's about Frank is hungry, get the last of the Breuler
Ride without stopping
Under the Breuler and get him to squeak
Ooooooh
Frank, you just have to be hungry
I have to go to Mayer
And then again a tight approach
Zack and the braap
Hup
Haha, awesome
A very steep descent, you are allowed to follow me
Because you really have to watch it
As I said, viewers are allowed to stand over here
That's not uninteresting
Because
No, no face
Watch your mouth
Up, please
Yes, definitely
Tight again, up again
This is not rated, that's not bad
This is not rated, it just goes up
You have to leave it
Zack, around and over the line
Stop
So it's over
And Bernd gets the 250 points
Take a break again
Haha, I don't want to
And that's how you do it
Now you can
Five
Four
Slowly
Three
Let me say that
Two
Stop
Zack
Zero
One
We're not done yet
360 degrees
Out again
Out of the motorcycle
That made no sense
Out of the motorcycle
It's over
We're all going to start
And remember
Like the whole two days
Be clever
Zero points is sometimes no shame
You saw it
It's definitely tough
Congratulations
Tobias
Three
Two
One
Attack
