There were rumblings after the 2024 WC that Italy was likely to host the championships in 2025. Any news yet as to likely dates and location?

Hello everyone,

as a chance to warm up for the World Championship in July, we are pleased to inform you that we will be present at the Autodromo di Monza on May 24th and 25th for the Monza Sport Festival.

Throughout the weekend, we will have a stand dedicated to the presentation and test rides of human-powered vehicles. This will be an excellent opportunity to meet us, exchange ideas, and learn more about these fascinating types of vehicles.

Furthermore, on Saturday, May 24th, from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM, we are organizing an exclusive riding session on the legendary Formula 1 track.

Participation is open to all human-powered vehicles (bicycles, tricycles, velomobiles, handbikes, etc.) that comply with road traffic regulations. Vehicles with pedal assistance (E-bikes) are also permitted.

Neither a medical certificate nor a sports license is required. However, it will be necessary to fill out a registration form and a liability waiver on site.

A small contribution may be requested to cover organizational costs; we will inform you about this as soon as possible.

Although this is not an official competition, participants who wish to can record their performance via Strava or their bike computer. This data can be used to create an informal ranking, potentially with prizes awarded.

To help us organize the track session, we kindly ask you to inform us of your intention to participate.

You can contact us via:

Yes it certainly was!

One of my highlights was the 8km group ride on Day one taking us from the registrations site at Meina to the 100m flying start at Arona. Not many BHPC members taking part but you can spot a few of us in this video view from my trike.
