  • GP de Luxembourg
  • Critérium européen des jeunes
  • Troisvierges will also host the 76th GP Général Patton on July 1 2023. The winner could become one of the big stars of cycling in just a few years: Remco Evenepoel (2018/Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team), Alexandr Vlasov (2014/Bora-hansgrohe) and Marc Hirschi (2015/UAE Team Emirates) once showed themselves to the Luxembourg public, and all three of them have since won some of the biggest races in the WorldTour.

    For Luxembourg’s best juniors, the traditional GP Patton could be a signpost of the direction their cycling careers could take them.

  • One day later, on July 2 2023, the juniors will compete again at Munzhausen. This time in a fairly new race: The GP de Luxembourg will be held for the third time. Three years after winning the first edition in 2019, Maurice Ballerstedt is now racing as a professional rider for Alpecin-Fenix alongside Mathieu van der Poel.

    The Luxembourg audience can look forward to youth cycling at the highest level.
