Adolf Weil (December 25, 1938 – May 12, 2011) was a German professional motocross racer. He competed in the FIM 250cc and 500cc Motocross Grand Prix world championships as a rider for the Maico factory racing team during the 1960s and 1970s.
Weil finished second to Håkan Andersson in the 1973 250cc World Championship, and finished in third place three times in the 500cc World Championship.[1] While he was never able to capture an international title, he won 14 German motocross national championships.[2] Weil won the 1973 Trans-AMA championship at the age of 34.[3] He was known as the 'Iron Man' of motocross because he competed for over 20 years in a physically demanding sport that is dominated by younger riders. After retiring from competition in 1977, he ran a motorcycle business with his two sons Frank and Jürgen in his hometown of Solingen, Germany.[2]
