Germany’s premier bike race, the Bemer Cyclassics Pro is now a well established UCI World Tour event that the big name sprinters would love to have on their palmarès. Set on a predominantly flat course on the roads in and around the city of Hamburg the route changes each year and the distance fluctuates around the 250km mark but there are a couple of permanent fixtures that define the race. Firstly the signature climb of the Waseberg and the finish on the popular shopping street of Mönckebergstraße in the heart of the city.

The most successful rider at the event is the Italian Elia Viviani who took three back-to-back wins from 2017 – 2019 and he is back again this year to try and add a fourth. The other hot favourite to win in 2024 has be this year’s stand out sprint star Jonathan Milan (Lidl Trek) but he will face stiff competition from his principle rivals, Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin–Deceuninck), Tim Merlier (Soudal-Quick Step), Olav Kooji (Visma–Lease a Bike) and Biniam Girmay (Intermarché – Wanty) 

There’s sure to be plenty of drama throughout 2024’s race so you won’t want to miss any of the action. Here’s how to watch the Bemer Hamburg Cyclassics Pro live streams online, from anywhere.

It’s only natural that you might want to watch a 2024 Hamburg Cyclassics Pro live stream from your home country, but what if you’re not there when the race is on?

Look no further than a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN makes it look as if you’re surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you’re in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.

They’re totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We’ve tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is NordVPN. It’s fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we’ve said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you’re away in the U.S., and want to view your usual German service, you’d select Germany from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Germany’s Das Erste, for example, and enjoy the free Hamburg Cyclassics Pro live stream.

2024 Bemer Hamburg Cyclassics Pro Route

This year the course heads north before returning into Hamburg for the finale, where once back in the outskirts of the city it completes three small loops each time taking on the Waseberg, a 700m long ramp with gradients of up to 16%. This climb typically defines the race with either the sprinters teams nursing their leaders over the steep gradients or those without a sprint launching their attacks.
