International four-rail tour
The international four-track tour is a track cycling racing series that is held annually over Whitsun in the federal states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg .
The individual events held on different cycle tracks are part of the international calendar of the Union Cycliste Internationale .
In the last few decades, the multi-day competition took place alternately at different locations in southern Germany . The following cycling tracks have been the venues since 2000: Oberhausen (Rheinhausen) , Dudenhofen , Schopp , Hassloch , Mannheim , Öschelbronn (Gäufelden) , Singen (Hohentwiel) .
Since 2007, the tour has been partially held on only three tracks, in 2019 and 2020 even as a two-track tour only in Öschelbronn (Gäufelden) and Dudenhofen .
The race is held as a two-man team (also called Madison or Américaine). The team with the fewest ranking points from the individual stages wins the overall ranking. In addition to the main race for the men's elite, there are also races for the women's elite and all junior classes as well as for the sprinters .
The record winner in this millennium is Christian Grasmann with six successes.
