The 2023 route change of the German Cycling Classic was very successful, which is why the course remains unchanged for 2024. The addition of the second Feldberg passage kept the race exciting until the end and offered different types of riders the chance to win. The riders will have to cover a total of 203.8 kilometres over 3,000 metres in altitude in the Cycling Classic on 1 May 2024.

Eschborn-Frankfurt: More excitement
The second Feldberg crossing made the 2023 race exciting right to the end. But the three climbs to the Mammolshainer Stich should not be underestimated either: On the last climb of the Mammolshainer Stich of the 2023 race, a breakaway group was able to pull out a small lead on the peloton and Sören Kragh Andersen won the breakaway's final sprint. However, the peloton was only 18 seconds behind.

U23 route near Eschborn-Frankfurt to be adapted
Unlike the pros, the U23 course has been adapted - in the direction of the pro course. The double Feldberg passage was so successful that the U23s also have to master it this year. This makes the course longer and more challenging and makes it all the more similar to the professional cycling classic.
Eschborn-Frankfurt 2024: Skoda-Velotour - Everyman race for amateur cyclists
At the Skoda Velotour, amateur cyclists can experience the feeling of a professional road race on the closed-off course. They can choose between a total of three distances for the Jedermann race: The Taunus Classic route is the longest at 103 kilometres and, like the professional route, leads over the Mammolshainer Stich and the Feldberg. An alternative is the Taunus Express route, which omits the ascent to the Mammolshainer Stich and, at 92 kilometres, is also slightly shorter than the Classic route. The third option is suitable for beginners who prefer a flat route: on the 40-kilometre Skyline route, cyclists ride from Eschborn towards Frankfurt city centre and back.
