On Sunday, July 6, 2025, a special cycling highlight will take place in the Ybbstal Alps in Lower Austria with the Four Nations Championships. This is because the national cycling federations of Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Austria have joined forces in the U23 category, the category for 18-22-year-old athletes, and have been holding their title fights together for several years. On the course around Hollenstein an der Ybbs, which was last tested at the 2023 Austrian Championships, with the finish at Königsberg, the best of the four nations will compete for the day’s victory and the coveted championship jerseys of their nations.

At 9:30 a.m., the U23 women open with a 94.3-kilometer race, which leads three times over the challenging ascent of the Große Kripp. From Hollenstein, the course leads to Opponitz, where the road then climbs. After a fast descent, the route follows the Ybbs again. After three completed laps, the final 2.7-kilometre climb up to Königsberg awaits, where the fastest women will cross the finish line at 12:00 noon.

The men’s race, which attracts 200 athletes and will therefore be Austria’s biggest professional race, starts at 10:10 am and runs over five laps before reaching the finish at Königsberg at around 2:00 pm. This championship format was held for the first time in 2018 in Unna, Germany, and since then the four organizing countries have taken turns to host the event on a regular basis, with the women’s event also being firmly anchored in the programme since 2023.

In the Ybbstal Alps, the four-country championships will officially be in Austria for the first time and cycling fans will be able to watch many future stars. Last year’s winner was the German Niklas Behrens, who a few months later became world champion in the U23 road race and is now not only a professional at Visma – Lease a Bike, but also a teammate of two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard from Denmark.

Numerous up-and-coming stars from the top teams at the start
The title fights therefore also exude more than just a hint of the WorldTour, the highest racing category in road cycling, as nine of these teams are sending their young athletes to Austria, There are riders from Red Bull, Tudor and FDJ, as well as riders from Ceratizit, UAE, Jayco and SD Worx, the best women’s team in the world, who will have Luxembourg’s Marie Schreiber, current runner-up in the cyclocross world championships, at the start.

Marco Schrettl, an Austrian, is one of the absolute favorites in the men’s race. The Tyrolean already won the prestigious Orlen Nations Cup in 2025, one of the strongest U23 races in the world, and can certainly play his cards well on the mountainous course.
