Thüringen Ladies Tour Canceled Due to Financial Shortfalls
The withdrawal of €200,000 in state subsidies has forced the cancellation of the 37th edition of the historic women's cycling event, originally scheduled for June 2025.
- The 37th Thüringen Ladies Tour, a key fixture in women's cycling since 1986, has been officially canceled for 2025.
- The cancellation follows the withdrawal of €200,000 in state subsidies by Thuringia due to budgetary constraints.
- Organizers were unable to secure alternative funding to meet UCI requirements, despite outreach to sponsors and partners.
- Preparatory activities were suspended in late February as financial difficulties became critical, making recovery impossible within the timeline.
- A detailed statement from the event's organizers is expected in the coming week to address the situation further.
