25th BIKE Transalp UCI race again: World ranking points for Transalp teams from 2023

With the 25th edition of the legendary stage race Transalp teams can now collect UCI ranking points for the world rankings again. The Alpine classic from 9 to 15 July 2023 is listed in the International Cycling Union (UCI) calendar as a category S1 race.

Collect UCI points for amateurs & professionals

No other Stage race for teams of two has inspired mountain bikers around the world for as long as the BIKE Transalp - the original, which served as a template for many other stage races around the world.

Race director Marc Schneider considers the step of listing the BIKE Transalp on the UCI calendar again after 2013 to be very important:

"The chance to collect UCI points makes it even more interesting for ambitious marathon riders and professionals to take part. They are the multipliers who are networked in the international bike marathon scene and share their experiences with others. In addition, a prominent start list is the best advertisement for the event because it emphasises the athletes' appreciation of the race."

Since the first edition in 1998, the route of the BIKE Transalp has led in eight stages, since 2014 in seven days over the main Alpine ridge to Italy. Thousands from all over the world have shaped the BIKE Transalp adventure, pushed themselves to their personal limits, braved the heat, snow and metres in altitude and set off on familiar trails as well as new, barely discovered paths. Professionals and hobby riders, teams and individuals, friends and married couples or siblings.

Each year, the route covers around 500 kilometres and 18,000 metres in altitude, which can be ridden in teams or solo. Details of the 2023 Transalp route can only be revealed in December, but what is certain is that race director Marc Schneider is working out a great route with many familiar highlights as well as new trails and surprising passages to give the participants an unforgettable BIKE Transalp adventure.
