Pro cycling is riding a wave of success in Germany right now with home star Florian Lipowitz taking third place in this year’s Tour de France and his German team Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe just signing the Belgian star Remco Evenpoel, so expect huge crowds at its premier bike race, the ADAC Hamburg Cyclassics Pro.
Now in its 30th year this UCI World Tour event is one that all the big name sprinters would love to have on their palmarès. Set on a predominantly flat course on the roads in and around Hamburg there are a couple of permanent fixtures that define the race. Firstly the signature climb of the Waseberg and second the finish on the popular shopping street of Mönckebergstraße in the heart of the city.
Last year’s winner Olav Kooij (Team Visma – Lease a Bike) returns to defend his crown and the other hot favourite to win has be the Italian star Jonathan Milan (Lidl Trek). They will face stiff competition though from the likes of Biniam Girmay (Intermarché – Wanty), Jordi Meeus (Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe), Marco Haller (Tudor Pro Cycling Team) and Arnaud De Lie (Lotto).

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we’ve said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you’re away in the U.S., and want to view your usual German service, you’d select Germany from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Germany’s NDR, for example, and enjoy the free Hamburg Cyclassics Pro live stream.

2025 ADAC Hamburg Cyclassics Pro Route
For the first time in ten years the race begins outside Hamburg from the town of Buxtehude in Lower Saxony. After 90 kilometres the peloton will hit the famous Waseberg for the first of five ascents during its combination of large and small loops around the city. This 700m long ramp with gradients of up to 16% typically defines the race with either the sprinters teams nursing their leaders over the steep gradients or those without a sprint launching their attacks.
