history
After the founding of the first Liechtenstein cycling clubs, the "Cyclists 'Association of the Principality of Liechtenstein" and the "Liechtensteiner Schwalben Bendern Cyclists' Club", in 1898 it was not until 1937 that the first national championship was held. It was not until 1936 that the state sports association was founded, which, in addition to cycling, was also responsible for other sports such as football , gymnastics and athletics, as well as others. The first cycling champion was Robert Jehle , a cyclist from Schaan, on a course around the municipality of Schaan . The touring rider was won by Adolf Marxer, a brother of Alfred Marxer, who later also became a cyclist and the country's first professional athlete (in the USA ). In the following years other cycling clubs and regular cycling races were established. In 1950, the Liechtenstein cycling association was founded as the umbrella organization for all cycling clubs (at that time the RV Schaan and VC Vaduz clubs existed) and since then, Liechtenstein road racing championships have been held relatively continuously. The Liechtenstein road racing championships did not take place every year and at irregular intervals and in different forms. Championship races were held for a while, later the champions were also determined in bike races such as the Schellenberg Tour , with the title going to the best-placed Liechtenstein driver. For a few years, from 1987 to 1994, the champion was determined by participating in the joint championship of professional drivers from the Federal Republic of Germany , Luxembourg and Switzerland ("three-nation championship").
