In Tailfingen's Bullentäle, the Albstadt MTB Classic 2025 offered exciting races and a big stage for young talents as well as experienced athletes. Participants in age groups U9 to U17 engaged in thrilling duels for times and rankings.

Broad Foundation for the Future

The RSG Zollern-Alb/RSG-Dowe-Team sent numerous young riders into the race and presented itself to be on a good development path overall – even if the very top placements were still absent in some classes. "For many young riders, the weekend was an important opportunity to gain experience and gauge themselves in regional comparison," emphasized co-organizer Bernard Mast-Sindlinger, who was responsible for the event's execution alongside Frank Durst.
