Home World Cup in Aalen: Fromberger and opposing home ready for triumph!

Under the radiant sun of Aalen, the athletes are preparing for a top -class spectacle. The home World Cup on July 12, 2025 is not only a sporty highlight for Marion Fromberger and Simon Gegenheimer, but also an opportunity to prove themselves in front of a home crowd. Schwäbische.de reports that the two athletes go into the race with a lot of self-confidence, but with different expectations.

Marion Fromberger, the current German champion and World Cup, is nervous before the home event, but is determined to defend the leadership jersey and strives for at least one podium. Her last World Cup result, a fifth place, gnaws at her, and she wants to change that in Aalen. "I worked on my mental blockade and feel ready for the challenge," explains the 24-year-old, who, despite a fall in the previous year, is not afraid of the obstacles and counts firmly on her fan base, which is a bit smaller this year.

The expectations of Simon Gegenheimer

While Fromberger hopes that she can call up her strong performance, Simon also has great ambitions. In a deep conversation, the 36-year-old expresses his dissatisfaction with his performance at the last World Cup. "I want to win in Aalen, even if I don't see myself more than the favorite," said opposing home. He sees others, like the current world champion Edvin Lindh, stronger and wants to steal the show. The experienced driver competes for the 14th time at a sprint World Cup and has set itself the goal of winning another medal.

The Aalen Mountainbike Racing team has also set itself the goal of bringing the sprint world championship title back to Aalen. Two bronze medals were won last year - a big incentive for the athletes. The World Cup itself takes place in Turkey on June 22nd, and the athletes know that the World Cup route in Sakarya with its demanding climbs and technical passages is a real challenge.
