Frankfurt/Main (dpa) – Olympic cycling champion Lisa Brennauer hopes that the German cycling classic Eschborn-Frankfurt will also be held for women in the future.
“Of course that would be amazing. There used to be a women’s race here. Maybe it’s just a matter of time. I would be very, very happy to see a big event in women’s cycling in Germany again,” said the 33-year-old on the Hessian radio. She was a part of the men’s classic as a co-commentator.
The race will be held on May Day for the first time since 2019. In 2020 the classic was canceled due to corona, in 2021 it was moved to autumn. Olympic track champion Brennauer, who is also active on the road, would welcome an expansion of the program. “If one were to be created here, it would be something I’ve wanted for a long time,” said the woman from the Allgäu.
