The sporting highlight was the return of the UCI Class 1.1 Road Race. Around 100 cyclists from 17 elite teams and 11 countries and regions took on a new undulating 100-kilometre course linking some of Hong Kong’s most iconic landmarks. Featuring diverse terrain that tested riders’ speed, endurance and tactical prowess, together with a world-class international field, the race is regarded as one of the most competitive road cycling events in Asia.
After 100 kilometres of intense racing, Paul MAGNIER from France crossed the finish line victorious, having mastered the demands of the challenging course to claim the title.
Beyond world-class racing, more than 6,500 places were available across the event’s two major scenic rides. The popular 32-kilometre route returned alongside a brand new 56-kilometre challenge, offering cyclists spectacular views of Hong Kong’s signature landmarks and skyline, including a first-ever ride through the Central Kowloon Bypass.
From thousands of cycling enthusiasts to world-class competition, the Hong Kong Cyclothon brought the sport into the heart of one of Asia’s most spectacular cityscapes, complemented by a vibrant carnival of sports, entertainment, family-friendly experiences and gourmet offerings that kept the excitement going from morning until dusk.
