A highlight of the cycling day is undoubtedly the allocation of the traditional winning pig. The winner of the main race can look forward to the pig from home breeding, which is usually freshly prepared after the end of the season. Mayor Axel Röthling has the honor to hand over this special prize personally. But not all locally known participants will start: Mayor Röthling and Großwaltersdorf Mayor Andreas Strelow have to fit for health reasons.

with athlete's name like Felix Groß, who previously drove Emirates for the UAE Team, and Constantin Lohse, who comes directly from the German Derny Championship in Erfurt, promises not only to become exciting, but also high-class. The anticipation for the event is noticeable and all eyes are aimed at the elite drivers.
