UCI MTB Eliminator World Cup 2025 in Aalen - sport meets festival feeling
On July 12, 2025, the city center of Aalen will once again be transformed into a big stage for sport, music and summer fun. The UCI MTB Eliminator World Cup will once again make a stop in the Ostalb city - and the event promises to be another unforgettable experience. Under the motto “World Cup with a festival feeling”, visitors can expect a thrilling day where world-class cycling meets live music, street food and a festival atmosphere.
Last year's World Cup in Aalen was already a complete success. Over 7,000 spectators lined the narrow streets of the old town, cheered on the athletes and celebrated into the night. The media response was consistently positive - sports editors spoke of the “showcase event” and particularly praised the successful combination of top international sport and local anchoring. For Aalen, the event was more than just a race: It was a day that brought the city and its people together.
he focus is on the Eliminator format - a spectacular mountain bike sprint in which four riders start at the same time on a compact circuit. Stairs, bends, cobblestones, narrow alleyways: The urban backdrop brings action at the highest level. The races are short, intense and characterized by tactical finesse - the perfect format for spectators to get up close and personal.
There will be a special focus on two top German riders who are sure to thrill the audience: Simon Gegenheimer and Marion Fromberger, both part of the corratec team, will also be competing in Aalen in 2025. Gegenheimer, who comes from the region and is one of the best sprinters in the world as a multiple World Cup winner, enjoys home advantage - and is celebrated not only for his athletic class, but also for his approachability. Marion Fromberger is one of the fastest women on the Eliminator circuit. With technique, speed and fighting spirit, she has earned herself a permanent place among the world's elite - and in Aalen she wants to be on the podium again.
But the World Cup in Aalen is much more than just a sporting event. In the evening, a very special musical highlight will bring a festival atmosphere to the Rathausplatz: Michael Schulte will be performing live. The singer-songwriter, known from “The Voice of Germany” and the Eurovision Song Contest, will give you goosebumps with his soulful voice and his hits - free of charge and in the open air.
Around the sporting and musical program, visitors can expect a supporting program that leaves nothing to be desired. A bike expo, food trucks, a children's course, hands-on activities, DJs and an after-race party round off the day. If you don't want to choose between a sporting event and a summer festival, you can have both in Aalen - and admission is free.
With this special combination of international flair and local passion, Aalen will once again be the stage for an event that unites sport, emotion and community in a unique way on July 12, 2025. If you miss this day, you miss more than just a race - you miss an experience.
