The mass sport race as part of the Deutschland Tour will take place on August 25th, 2024
On August 25, 2024, the Cycling Tour took place as part of the finale of the Lidl Deutschland Tour 2024. 1800 participants cycled on two different routes through Saarbrücken and the surrounding area in fantastic weather. The short route, the Tälerrunde, covered 56 kilometers and the long route, the Bliesgau Schleife, 100 kilometers. The first motivated amateur athletes set off shortly before 9 a.m., naturally with plenty of motivation from the audience. They then cycled throughout the morning and at lunchtime until the last riders rolled into the finish line of the elite race at 2:00 pm to thunderous applause.
The best male and female riders were honored at the award ceremony on the podium where the elite will also stand later.
Konstantin Hebes won the men's Tälerrunde with a time of 1 hour and 31 minutes and Lucille Rutsch won the women's with 1 hour and 36 minutes.
In the Bliesgau Loop, Fabian Thiele won the men's race with a time of 2 hours and 20 minutes and Franziska Jablonski triumphed in the women's race with a time of 2 hours and 39 minutes.
