Pure adrenaline: young cyclists conquer Oberhof at the Rookies Cup!
On June 22, 2025, Oberhof turned into a true mecca for mountain bike fans when the Propain Rookies Cup took place. Participants from all over Europe competed against each other on a 1.1 kilometer long downhill course. In optimal conditions and bright sunshine, the young bikers offered exciting head-to-head duels that featured daring maneuvers and very close time gaps. The thrill was not only great for the drivers, but also for the numerous spectators who loudly cheered on the athletes. [Insuedthueringen] reports an atmosphere that was characterized by adrenaline and applause.
The event attracted young talent of all ages - from the youngest participants to the U19 class, everyone was represented. It was not only an opportunity to demonstrate one's own riding technique, but also an important stepping stone for future downhill careers. The aim of the drivers is to fight for the top through first-class performances in the Rookies Cup series, which will expand internationally next year, and to make a name for themselves in the competition. This strategy helps athletes advance and consolidate their careers in downhill sports. [Rookiescup] has already announced two new destinations for 2025: Königsberg andschulenberg are new to the racing calendar, while Oberhof and Saalbach are firmly scheduled again as long-standing venues.
International expansion and new routes
Several new routes are planned for the 2025 Rookies Cup season, for example in Koprivna, which offers the participating bikers a variety of challenges. The start of the season traditionally takes place at the iXS Dirt Masters Festival in Winterberg. [Rookiescup] is convinced that these new destinations and routes will benefit the level of the event and thus increase the attractiveness of the entire cup.
The next big events
But the Propain Rookies Cup is just the beginning. There will also be some important events on the international calendar in the coming weeks. From June 28th to 29th, 2025, for example, the motto at the MTB French Cup in France will be “fingers crossed!” Also exciting are the Slovak National Championships and the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup, which will further heat up the international biker feeling. [MTBdata] brings even more insight into the challenge that awaits participants.
The mountain bike community is lively and dynamic. Whether in Oberhof or elsewhere, the sport continues to inspire and inspire. And so we'll be surprised to see which young talents will shine next on the big stages of downhill sport.
