Mountainbike World Cup in Aalen: Mega event with a new route and party mood!

Aalen, Deutschland - on July 11th and 12th, 2025, Aalen is turning back to the mountain bike capital when the UCI Mountainbike World Cup takes place in the charming city center for the fourth time. The event, which is the only UCI World Cup race in Germany, has long since established itself as a success story and is organized by Steffen Thum and his company LTE. Mayor Frederick Brütting, himself an enthusiastic mountain biker, emphasizes the unbroken enthusiasm for cycling in the city and, with the event, pursues the goal of building sustainable structures for cycling in Aalen, also in preparation for the 2024.

The new route of the World Cup measures 680 meters and extends from the market fountain to the town hall. Particularly noteworthy is the World Cup Arena on the Gmünder Torplatz, which is equipped with large LED screens and enables the audience to support the competitions. Safety -relevant aspects are also taken into account here, since numerous volunteers are in use to ensure a large audience experience.

local participation and visibility

Five drivers of the Aalener Racing team, including Marion Fromberger, Simon Gegenheimer, Nils Riecker, Dan Noyola and Titouan Perrin Ganier, take part in the competitions. According to Schwaebische.de, the spectators should be more close to the athletes than ever before, since the event is heavily based on contestability and interaction. In addition, 90-minute live reporting in the ARD media library is provided to make the event even more visible.

The event should not only promote cycling, but also set new impulses for local gastronomy and retail. Further ideas and events will be planned in the coming years to offer the region Aalen and its citizens a wider range of cycling activities. Aalen wants to position itself better internationally and is compared with cities such as Barcelona and Paris in this context.
