As all of the Grand Tours and other significant events of this season, the Eschborn-Frankfurt race suffered organizational complications in 2020. But you can still take a part in it \u2013 right now, on Rouvy! The race runs from 7<sup>th<\/sup> to 31<sup>st<\/sup> December.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Eschborn-Frankfurt is a German cycling event with lots of prestige and national-wide attention. Originally, it takes place in May and was rescheduled to autumn this year but even that proved to be impossible due to \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 the ongoing pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2020\/12\/EF20_E-Challenge-logo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-180861\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2020\/12\/EF20_E-Challenge-logo.jpg\" alt=\"Eschborn-Frankfurt\" width=\"1001\" height=\"1001\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a die-hard fan of the race or you\u2019ve just heard about it, don\u2019t fret! As we mentioned above, the whole event is moving virtual and is currently underway as Eschborn-Frankfurt E-Challenge. Rouvy partnered with GFR, the main organizer of the race, and continues to digitalize all the best pieces of this UCI road race. The released road courses on Rouvy are the shorter version of the original racecourse (187.5 km) and consist of three independent segments.<\/p>\n<p>First is the \u201c\u0160koda Velotour Skyline\u201d of <a href=\"https:\/\/my.rouvy.com\/virtualni-trasy\/detail\/46217\">40,5km<\/a> including the challenges of Tissot Mountain King|Mountain Queen and the special classification named &#8220;Beat Cima&#8221;. The stage winner of the Giro d\u2019Italia, Damiano Cima, set the fastest time of 55 minutes 3 seconds on the virtual 40-kilometre route. If you manage to beat him, Gazprom Germania, the main sponsor, is giving away a &#8220;superfan package&#8221; for the fastest rider, including a professional jersey set, free start at the \u0160koda Velotour race scheduled on 1<sup>st<\/sup> May 2021, and access to the Velotour\u2019s VIP area and a Meet &amp; Greet.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_180862\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180862\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2020\/12\/Damiano-Cima-profimedia-0443906989.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-180862\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2020\/12\/Damiano-Cima-profimedia-0443906989-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Damiano Cima\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-180862\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Will you try to beat Damiano Cima? \u00a0\u00a9 Profimedia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Then we have the famous <a href=\"https:\/\/my.rouvy.com\/virtualni-trasy\/detail\/56697\">Feldberg Climb<\/a> with 11,4 km in total.
