On 3 October, the asphalt course in Groß-Bieberau, Hesse, will be red-hot again: the German Pump Track Championships for elite riders and the German Cup for amateur riders are coming up! Here is all the information on registration and the timetable.
Last call for the German Pump Track Championships: If you want to compete for the crown, you have to register by Tuesday, 30 September. This is because the big party will take place the following long weekend in Groß-Bieberau near Darmstadt in southern Hesse.
The country's best professional and amateur riders will decide their German champions here on 3 October on the 105-metre asphalt course. Also in the starting field: local hero Luca Eckhardt (23), who was already champion in 2023 and wants to reclaim the title this year. It is likely to be correspondingly loud in the spectator stands.
