May, 1st - the perfect opportunity for everyone to feel like a pro and race on the original race course of the elite. Don't miss out on that once in a life time experience!
The record was even better celebrated in glorious weather. With 10,000 registered amateur athletes, the Škoda Velotour 2024 was once again fully booked. The amateur fields of the cycling classic on May 1 were led by Hesse's Minister President Boris Rhein and Tagesschau spokesman Thorsten Schröder.
As a long-standing sponsor and timekeeper of the spring classic, the traditional Swiss watch brand Tissot is taking part in the Eschborn-Frankfurt cycling classic. An integral part of the Škoda Velotour: the battle for the title of Tissot King and Queen of the mountain among the most ambitious participants, which has made the challenging climb to the Großer Feldberg even more exciting since 2014. Every year, new best times are set, which Tissot rewards with a special mountain classification jersey - red polka dots for the men, pink polka dots for the women - and a high-quality sports watch.
All those who take part in the popular Škoda Velotour Taunus Classic or Škoda Velotour Taunus Express distances will take part in the special mountain classification: starting in Oberursel, the time required by each rider to complete the approximately eleven-kilometre route up to the Feldberg plateau will be determined.
In 2024, Marie Tertsch and Jakob Breinlinger were crowned Mountain Queen and Mountain King by Tissot.
