Germany’s premier bike race, the Bemer Cyclassics Pro is now a well established UCI World Tour event that the big name sprinters would love to have on their palmarès. Set on a predominantly flat course on the roads in and around the city of Hamburg the route changes each year and the distance fluctuates around the 250km mark but there are a couple of permanent fixtures that define the race. Firstly the signature climb of the Waseberg and the finish on the popular shopping street of Mönckebergstraße in the heart of the city.

The most successful rider at the event is the Italian Elia Viviani who took three back-to-back wins from 2017 – 2019 and he is back again this year to try and add a fourth. The other hot favourite to win in 2024 has be this year’s stand out sprint star Jonathan Milan (Lidl Trek) but he will face stiff competition from his principle rivals, Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin–Deceuninck), Tim Merlier (Soudal-Quick Step), Olav Kooji (Visma–Lease a Bike) and Biniam Girmay (Intermarché - Wanty) .

Weather is set fair and it will be a warm day in Hamburg with temperatures of 26 degrees expected. 

There’s sure to be plenty of drama throughout 2024’s race so you won’t want to miss any of the action. Here’s how to watch the Bemer Hamburg Cyclassics Pro live streams online, from anywhere.

2024 Bemer Hamburg Cyclassics Pro Route

This year the course heads north before returning into Hamburg for the finale, where once back in the outskirts of the city it completes three small loops each time taking on the Waseberg, a 700m long ramp with gradients of up to 16%. This climb typically defines the race with either the sprinters teams nursing their leaders over the steep gradients or those without a sprint launching their attacks.
