on september 22, beijing time, as the riders rushed across the finish line at the banks of dishui lake, the champions of the 2024 tour of shanghai new town cycling race were announced.
20 high-level teams from all over the world, five new cities' distinctive urban tracks, and three days of fierce competition created a top-level cycling competition feast.
but the exploration of the event does not stop at the competitive level - various amateur experience activities including national cycling also provide a shining stage for enthusiasts other than professional riders.
in the opinion of industry insiders, such a content-rich cycling carnival is destined to "break the circle" from the field of simple cycling events and bring the charm of cycling to more people.
new events launched, drivers want to come again
as a brand-new event, the 2024 shanghai new town cycling race is destined to become the focus of attention in the chinese cycling community this year, and the event is going to be perfect.
the first stage on september 20 was held in jiading new town, and the second stage on september 21 was held in qingpu new town and songjiang new town. on the third stage on september 22, the drivers started the final sprint on the track from fengxian new town to nanhui new town.
in the end, martin laas from the flying rapid mongolia continental team became the biggest winner, winning both the individual overall championship and the sprint king of the event. chinese drivers also had outstanding performances, and the honor of the best asian driver of the event was won by sun wentao from the li ning star continental team.
being able to put in such an amazing performance, sun wentao first thanked his teammates for their help in the game. he also said frankly that participating in such a high-level international competition is of great significance to his future career.
"this is the first time i've worn the honorary jersey since i participated in a professional tournament. it's an affirmation for me and also lays a more solid foundation for my future path." he told reporters, "this gives me more confidence and motivation to move to a higher level."
speaking of his overall impression of this new event, sun wentao said that the tracks of each stage have very good scenery and cycling experience. at the same time, the three-day competition also experienced different climatic conditions such as heavy rain, cloudy days and sunny days, which was also very challenging for the contestants.
“the biggest gain from this time is that my ability has been recognized, and the team’s overall skills, tactics and understanding of the game have also improved. if i can get an invitation next year, i would definitely like to participate again.”
coincidentally, in an interview after the game, martin laas, who won the overall championship, also expressed his desire to participate again.
"this is my first time to come to shanghai to participate in a competition. the atmosphere in the stadium today was particularly good. after the game, i also want to go for a walk around the city. i will definitely hope to come again in the future."
multi-field collaboration to create a cycling carnival
for the drivers, such an event is not only a high-level competition, but also a journey of exploration of shanghai's natural and cultural landscapes.
before and after the event, the event organizers organized cultural experience activities in five new cities. many drivers participated in them and discovered the charm of the city of shanghai from more perspectives.
visit the old shanghai-style buildings of the 1930s in the film and television park, watch martial arts stunt performances, experience intangible cultural heritage such as steamed buns and xuxing straw weaving, experience the water town scenery and traditional pingtan... through various activities, drivers from all over the world have a more concrete perception of shanghai culture.
there are also ordinary cycling enthusiasts who can immerse themselves in the customs and styles of shanghai's new cities.
just after the end of the third stage on the 22nd, a 38-kilometer national cycling event was held on the banks of dishui lake for all cycling enthusiasts. riders who signed up to participate during the open recruitment phase gathered together and experienced the joy of challenging themselves.
at the same time, a carnival event integrating brand display, food sharing, and cultural and sports performances was held at the event site. in addition to enjoying cycling, people can also come to the dishui lake with their family and friends to experience the beautiful scenery and new city views.
in front of reporters, shanghai's local olympic cycling champion zhong tianshi said that the significance of this event is more than just competition itself. "through cycling, we can let everyone know more about the development and scenery of our five new cities in shanghai. in addition to promoting the development of cycling, it is also a showcase for the city."
"as a cyclist, i am very happy to see more and more people participating in cycling. i also hope that in such a good environment, cycling can develop sustainably, and cycling can also be combined with tourism to let everyone experience the city's style."
as luo wenhua, deputy director of the shanghai sports bureau, said, in recent years shanghai has attached great importance to the cultivation and development of its own-brand international events and launched the "3+3+3+x" system, and this event is an important presentation.
"this competition has achieved very good results in terms of cultural, sports, business, tourism and exhibition linkage. everyone enjoyed it. this is also a very important demonstration of the social impact of sports events."
