For its fifth year, world champion Tadej Pogačar will headline the men’s professional criterium field. He will be joined by former Milano-Sanremo winner Matej Mohorič and Grand Tour stage winner Michael Matthews.
The women’s race will feature multi-discipline world champion Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, who recently won the Tour de France Femmes. She will compete with Tour de France Femmes 2024 winner Kasia Niewiadoma, Lorena Wiebes and Chiara Consonni, a medal winner at the Track World Championships.
Amateurs to ride with legends
Meanwhile, amateur riders will compete alongside cycling legends in the Pro/Am charity race. Captains will include Tour de France stage wins record-holder Mark Cavendish, 2010 world champion Thor Hushovd and Paris-Roubaix race winner Sonny Colbrelli. Formula 1 driver Antonio Giovinazzi and former French footballer Jean-Pierre Papin will also lead teams.
Children remain at the heart of the event. Young cyclists will be able to ride the same circuit as the professionals and a Kids Area will host activities centred on road safety and sustainable transport.
Proceeds will support the Beking Foundation, which was set up by professional cyclists and focuses on educational and sporting projects for young people.
“Reaching the fifth edition feels truly inspiring,” said Matteo Trentin, the event’s host and the driving force behind Beking. “We race all over the world for a living, but Beking is different. Here, we ride with a purpose: the ambition to build something lasting for the next generation and for the planet."
