Ever since the roaring engines of the Sixdays racing left Bremen on dusty tracks, the city has been crushing to explode back onto the cycling chart in staggering fashion!
Mario Roggow, director of the six-day marathon: "Our entertainment is getting hotter by the minute! We kick-start the festival with a bash for the kids, and our main acts include the upbeat Stereoact duo. The escapades continue with the Legendary Cult Sunday, Voluptuous Mondays, and a grand finale under the spotlight with the talented Ben Zucker. It's going to be the wildest party on wheels!"
Legends and legends-in-the-making collide on the track
The challenges of racing on those weaving, bone-crunching, adrenaline-fueled tracks are not for the faint-hearted. That's where some of the world's purest cycling titans, like Sixdays king Robert Förstemann, step onto the limelight.

Known as the "Quadzilla" for his massively powerful thighs, Märtensen's track record-breaking exploits have seen him rise to the top. However, even extraordinary heroes aren't immune to tragic twists – for instance, his 2019 accident at 70 km/h. A burst tire sent him flying, shattering several ribs, a shoulder blade, and his collarbone.
However, recovery is not a foreign concept to Förstemann. "The track at ÖVB Arena has no equal – it's incredibly brief and frighteningly fast, with the atmosphere pushing you to persevere," says Förstemann. "I compete for the titles, and as long as I'm at the top, I'll carry on."
From the almighty Förstemann to past champion Nils Politt and Olympic gold medalist Franziska Brauße, the Sixdays race is poised to feature legends and legends-in-the-making, ready to tackle the tracks in crawl-inducing speed and delirious crowds.
Don't miss the opportunity to witness these human powerhouses in all their glory! Ride the wave of unbridled excitement while the entire city of Bremen roars in anticipation, yet again, as the thrilling Sixdays race returns to the arena.
