In the Thuringian winter sports resort of Oberhof, all eyes were on the youngsters this weekend. In addition to the PROPAIN Rookies Cup with over 300 participants from 18 nations, the VPACE Kids Cup also took place in the immediate vicinity. This created a very international atmosphere and a cool race feeling.

The track was similar to that of the previous year. Only the middle section of the meadow was set up a little differently and demanded a good technique from the kids. But as always, it wasn't really about ability and technique, as there are so many different factors that play into whether the time is good or only half good, especially in the age groups. The important thing was that everyone had a good time on their bikes, gained their first racing experience in a relaxed environment and left Oberhof with a good feeling and cool memories.
Nevertheless, it is of course worth taking a look at the results list and perhaps it could also be mentioned that in some classes the same people have been winning for three races and that with a considerable lead. Here are a few impressions from the day...
