The Eschborn-Frankfurt bike race: Who will be the new champion in 2025?

On May 1, 2025, the renowned bike race Eschborn-Frankfurt will revive the streets of Hesse again. The starting shot is given at 12 p.m. on Rathausplatz in Eschborn. This year, the audience awaits an exciting race over a distance of around 200 kilometers, which is characterized by a hilly course. The transmission takes place both on HR television and in the livestream on hessenschau.de. Tagesschau" was fundamentally changed, which will lead to a more exciting and less predictable course.

The new route will offer drivers some challenges. Particularly noteworthy are the two -time crossing of the Feldberg and three times the mammolshain stitch. These climbs reduce the likelihood of mass sprints, even if they are not completely excluded. In the last two editions of the race, the driver field was very thinned out. In 2024, only 26 professionals fought for victory, with Maxim van Gils from Belgium winning the race reports Hessenschau .

race course of recent years

Maxim van Gils needed a time of 4:46:48 hours for the 203 kilometers. He secured first place ahead of Alex Aranburu from Spain and Riley Sheehan from the USA. John Degenkolb, a celebrated local hero, showed a strong performance in this race and won the mountain rating.
GEGENKOLB was active up to 90 kilometers before the finish and could be part of a three -person escape group. His lead of over seven minutes was particularly remarkable before he was finally caught up by the main group. He won the mountain ranking in the first Feldberg crossing and on Mammolshainer Berg, although he was previously unable to train for two weeks because of an injury.

The course of the race 2024 illustrates the dynamics and unpredictability that are accompanied by the new route. Jan Christians set off at the third climb to Mammolshainer Berg, but only had a lead of 23 seconds 20 kilometers before the finish. In the final sprint in downtown Frankfurt, van Gils finally won. Tagesschau stands out again will show highly motivated.

favorites and failures

Unfortunately, the local hero John Degenkolb fails due to injury after he won the mountain ranking in 2024. Nevertheless, the race will be a test of the best day form for all participants this year to have a chance of winning.

Overall, the event promises excitement, drama and a high sporting level that will lure both the drivers and the audience on the track.
