BEMER Young Riders Tour – Zuidwolde hosts the sixth stop

01 Jun BEMER Young Riders Tour – Zuidwolde hosts the sixth stop

(Zuidwolde/NED) Here we go again: In Zuidwolde, the BEMER Young Riders Tour has embarked on the next stop in its premiere year and once again offers the chance to collect points with the aim of becoming a participant in the classic BEMER Riders Tour in 2023. The Jumping Tour of the CSIO De Wolden in the Netherlands will host the sixth event on Sunday with the Grand Prix of the BEMER Young Riders Tour.  

The U21 generation already showed their “calling card” on the first day of the show in a classic ‘against the clock’ competition (1.45m). 40 participants from 13 nations competed and the 18-year-old Dutch rider Nikita Cheung was delighted with the impeccable round of her Noberlina VD Laarseheide Z in a fast 73.93 seconds. This placed Cheung, who is just starting in the Young Rider age group, in first place. Nikita is competing with three horses in Zuidwolde and will face plenty of competition until Sunday.  

Antonio Sottile leads, but for how long?

The current ranking is led by Italy’s Antonio Sottile with 31 points, closely followed by Antoine Ermann from France (28). In Zuidwolde, however, several candidates have great prospects of increasing their points cushion: German show jumper Johanna Beckmann, for example, who won the classification of the BEMER Young Riders Tour in Fontaineblau and is in third place in the ranking with 20 points, as is the Italian rider Chiara Coppo, who previously excelled in Zduchovice and is also competing in Zuidwolde.

BEMER CYCLASSICS

Germany's biggest cycling event will take place again on September 8, 2024 . More than 10.000 cyclists are expected to take part in the BEMER Cyclassics in Hamburg. 

Bemer Cyclassics Hamburg

Since 1996, the BEMER Cyclassics Hamburg have been a firmly established event in the global cycling calendar, inspiring both newcomers and experienced cyclists year after year. Every year in August, thousands of cycling enthusiasts come to the Elbe-metropolis to experience this special cycling festival, and have been doing so for over 25 years. Whether you're a rookie or a participant from the very beginning, the BEMER Cyclassics Hamburg are a must-do event in Hamburg's sporting summer.

The route profile of the BEMER Cyclassics Hamburg is mostly flat, making it perfect for first-timers and less experienced riders, but also a great opportunity for experienced riders to achieve a fast finish time - the right challenge for every level of ability and experience. Completely closed-off roads not only ensure the greatest safety possible, but also contribute to a unique riding experience.

In addition to the age group races, the BEMER Cyclassics offer an exciting supporting program with the BEMER Youngclassics , the stage race for the U17 age group, the professional race of the BEMER Cyclassics , which is part of the UCI WorldTour, and a high-quality expo at the Rathausmarkt and Jungfernstieg, with over 80 exhibitors from the lifestyle and outdoor industry.

Kooij wins in Hamburg's sprinter's paradise

8. September 2024

Olav Kooij (Visma | Lease a Bike) has won the BEMER Cyclassics 2024. The Dutchman won the expected bunch sprint on Mönckebergstraße ahead of Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) and Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty). Behind them were Jordi Meeus (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe) and Alexander Kristoff (Uno-X Mobility). "We went into the corner two kilometers before the finish in a good position. We knew that was very important. After that I followed the guys from Bora. Kristoff overtook me and kept the speed up, then let me find a good rear wheel. Then I opened up my sprint and was able to pull it off,” said Cyclassics winner Kooij , describing his race. "I didn't know where I stood today after I had to recover from a crash recently. I told the other guys in the team that I wasn't feeling so good that they could attack. But they then motivated me to give it a go. And so there was a nice surprise at the end." The 23-year-old's 36th career victory was his first on the WorldTour in a one-day race. A six-man breakaway group broke away shortly after the start of the race, which started a little late and was therefore shortened by 20 to 178 kilometers, and dominated the majority of the day. Michael Mørkøv (Astana Qazaqstan), Taco van der Hoorn (Intermarché-Wanty), Stefan de Bod (EF Education EasyPost), Andrea Vendrame (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale), Remi Cavagna (Soudal Quick-Step) and Cyrus Monk (Q36.5 Pro Cycling) had a lead of more than seven minutes at one point.

11,000 participants transform Hamburg into a cycling metropolis

More than 11,000 amateur athletes have once again made the BEMER Cyclassics the biggest cycling event in Germany. With 20 degrees, plenty of sunshine and little wind, the first starters set off from 7:30 a.m. on the Alster in Hamburg to compete in the Cyclassics60 or Cyclassics100 through the Hanseatic city and the surrounding area of Schleswig-Holstein. The first 30 riders reached the finish line in Mönckebergstraße, where the pros would later sprint for victory, after just 1:11 hours. They had ridden the shorter lap. After several attacks on Kösterberg, the leading group only came together again around 500 meters before the finish. There, Nico Hörnig from PSV Rostock proved to be the best sprinter. Just under four minutes later, Miriam Gensicke was the first woman to cross the finish line.

Hanno Rieping defended his title from the previous year on the long lap. The man from Mannheim also prevailed in the sprint of a group of more than 50 riders. He needed a good 2:10 hours for the victory. Victory in the women's race went to Switzerland. Irina Lützelschwab won as a soloist and crossed the finish line just half a minute after the first men.  

Voices of the favorites

7. September 2024

After almost 200 kilometers of cycling through Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein on Sunday, it is clear who will win the BEMER Cyclassics 2024. Once again, the sprinters are the favorites, hoping for a bunch sprint on Mönckebergstraße in the heart of the Hanseatic city. But there are also a number of challengers who are hoping for a different outcome. This is what the protagonists have to say.

After his recent successes, Jonathan Milan  (Lidl-Trek) is one of the first contenders for victory: "We are tackling the BEMER Cyclassics after an important and successful phase of the season. After the Olympic Games, I worked hard to bring my condition up to a high level. And then came the results, first at the Lidl Deutschland Tour, then at the Renewi Tour," said the 23-year-old, who already has eleven victories to his name this season. "I'm now expecting a good level of competitiveness again in Hamburg. The team will be a key component in controlling the course of the race. In this respect, I am very happy to have a strong team at my side. We will do everything we can to continue our winning streak."  

Hamburg celebrates Germany's biggest cycling event with the BEMER Cyclassics

5. September 2024

The BEMER Cyclassics will move thousands of cycling enthusiasts for a whole weekend, before the professional race with the world's best sprinters on Sunday marks the highlight of the major cycling event. 

On September 8, 161 riders from the 18 WorldTour teams and the five best second-division riders will roll through Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein over almost 200 kilometers to finally determine the best sprinter in a sprint royale on Mönckebergstraße. Although the Waseberg, which has to be crossed three times, has executioner potential, the star line-up of fast men and their teams will do everything they can to bring about a bunch sprint.

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Olav Kooij (Visma | Lease a Bike), Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) and Tim Merlier (Soudal Quick-Step) are the four best sprinters of the season at the start. In addition, Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty), who won the green jersey at the Tour de France, Arnaud De Lie (Lotto-Dstny) and Alexander Kristoff (Uno-X Mobility) are further challengers who want to have a say in the fight for the Cyclassics title.

From a German perspective, Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain-Victorious), Pascal Ackermann (Israel - Premier Tech) and Max Kanter (Astana Qazaqstan) have the best chances. However, if the race goes differently, Nils Politt (UAE Team Emirates), Maximilian Schachmann (Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe), John Degenkolb (dsm-firmenich PostNL), Simon Geschke (Cofidis), Georg Zimmermann (Intermarché-Wanty), Marius Mayrhofer (Tudor Pro Cyling Team) or Jannik Steimle (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team) could also cause a surprise.

Sprinter summit in Hamburg

Bemer cyclassics attract the fastest men in the world to mönckebergstraße.

2. September 2024

The best sprinters in the world will meet in Hamburg on September 8. At the BEMER Cyclassics, not only the fans can expect a sprint royale on Mönckebergstraße after almost 200 kilometers, but apparently also the 23 teams that will be at the start. Almost every team is sending its fastest man in the squad to the Elbe a week before the European Championships. Six former winners are taking part in the showdown of the sprint elite. And at least as many who want to celebrate their premiere victory at the Cyclassics.

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek), Tim Merlier (Soudal Quick-Step) and Olav Kooij (Visma | Lease a Bike) are the four most successful sprinters this season. The quartet has an impressive 37 victories between them this year. Over their entire careers, that makes almost 150. What they are all missing is a victory in Hamburg. In 2024, each of the quartet will have the chance to change that, as they lead the Cyclassics' prestigious list of starters.

Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) is also in the race and thus the green jersey of the Tour de France. The Eritrean also has five wins this season. Like Philipsen, he has won three of them in the world's most important cycling race. And what Girmay was at the Tour de France, Milan was at the Giro d'Italia. The Italian won the Maglia Ciclamino, the jersey for the best sprinter of the Giro, for the second time in a row. He also took this classification jersey at the recently concluded Lidl Deutschland Tour with three stage wins.

BEMER Cyclassics are looking for volunteers for September 8th

26. August 2024

Many hard-working helpers are needed to secure a world-class cycling race. Volunteers are also needed for the BEMER Cyclassics Hamburg on September 8 to help with the organization of the race. In addition to the valuable experience that all volunteers can gain, they will also receive a salary. In particular, marshals are needed to secure critical points along the 198-kilometer course. Not only during the professional race, but also when the amateur athletes of the Cyclassics 60 and 100 are on the roads. Support is especially needed in Halstenbek, Rellingen, Schenefeld, Pinneberg, Wedel and in the start and finish areas.  Any responsible person of legal age can take part. There will be a volunteer training course beforehand. Each volunteer will be provided with a T-shirt, a volunteer bag and a high-visibility vest. In addition, the assignments are remunerated in monetary terms and are within the minimum wage range.  Groups or clubs are also welcome to register and work together on entire sections of the route.

BEMER Youngclassics: Four stages and a guest appearance in Barmstedt for the first time

22. August 2024

When the BEMER Cyclassics turn Hamburg into a German cycling stronghold on September 8, young cyclists will once again have the chance to showcase themselves. The BEMER Youngclassics is one of the most prestigious stage races in the U17 age group. The top German and European riders of tomorrow compete here, with around 150 riders at the start. Nils Politt and Pascal Ackermann, as well as Jasper Stuyven on the international stage, have used the race as a springboard to great professional careers.

The Youngclassics will open the cycling weekend on Friday. A total of four stages over three days are on the program for the juniors. It starts with a nine-kilometer individual time trial in Oldendorf (Luhe) in the south of Hamburg, Lower Saxony. The following day, there will be a 12.5-kilometre team time trial in the morning, followed by a 70-kilometre circuit race in neighboring Soderstorf.

BEMER Cyclassics 2024 almost 200 kilometers long

12. August 2024

It is the question of questions that arises every time at the BEMER Cyclassics Hamburg: Will a breakaway group manage to pull out enough of a lead on the Waseberg on September 8 to decide the victory on Mönckebergstraße among themselves, or will it be the sprinters who come out on top again in the end? At 197.9 kilometers, the 2024 route is slightly shorter than in previous years, with only minimal changes. However, these differences could further increase the chances of the fast men.

After signing-in at the Hotel Atlantic and the start on the Kennedy Bridge between the Outer and Inner Alster Lakes, the Cyclassics route initially leads in a north-westerly direction through Hamburg for five neutralized kilometers before the sharp start on Holstenkamp. Passing the Volksparkstadion, the route crosses the border into Schleswig-Holstein at Schenefeld. There, after just eight kilometers, the first of three ŜKODA sprint finishes should motivate an early leading group to attack.

The route continues via Rellingen, Tangstedt and Quickborn to Barmstedt. North of the small town, two 20-kilometre laps are on the agenda between Bokel and Mönkloh, before heading back towards Wedel via Barmstedt and Pinneberg. Here, after 125 kilometers, the second sprint classification will slowly but surely open the finale. Shortly afterwards, the race returns to Hamburg via Tinsdal. While the route has been almost completely flat so far, the decisive climbs now await.

Riders Tour

The exciting finale of the 22nd Riders Tour season at the VR CLASSICS Neumünster: Hans-Dieter Dreher was crowned ‘Rider of the Year 2023/24’ after eight international stages. It was the first title win in Germany’s most prestigious jumping series for the experienced athlete and multiple World Cup winner and another well-deserved champion for the Riders Tour.

Young Riders Tour

Promoting young talent has always been at the heart of the Riders Tour, but has been taking on concrete features with the Young Riders Tour in 2022 and 2023. The Young Riders Tour jumping series supports the best and most successful talents in the Young Riders age group (18-21 years) as they make the leap into the senior camp.
