Cherry Blossom Race in Wels

The Cherry Blossom Race is infamous for its selective course through the hilly landscape of Upper Austria. Starting and finishing in the Wels district of Neustadt, the route leads directly into the picturesque fruit hill country. What initially appears to be an idyllic ride through blooming cherry orchards quickly reveals itself to be a true test of strength for the riders. The course is characterized by a constant up and down that leaves little room for long recovery phases.

The Myth of Mistelbacher Berg
No name is more closely associated with this race. The climb to Mistelbach is the centerpiece and the executioner of the day. Here, on the steep ramps of the mountain classification, the peloton is shattered, and the crucial selection is made. Whether professional or up-and-coming talent: the combination of fast descents, technical corners, and the punishing climbs around Scharten makes this race one of the truest and toughest challenges in the cycling calendar.
