TO BECOME A HERO AT THE SÜDTIROL DOLOMITES
THE HERO CHALLENGE IS NEAR: THE FAVORITES ARE READY (AND YOU CAN FOLLOW THEM LIVE)
The start list says it all: this race will ignite from the very first meter.
In the Dolomites, victories are never left to chance. Every kilometer must be studied, prepared and mastered. The HERO is a challenge that tests everything - legs, mind and technical skills alike. Expect a relentless pace from the start, strategies built pedal stroke after pedal stroke, and a course that leaves no room for mistakes.
As you know, the HERO Südtirol Dolomites is Round 4 of the 2026 HERO UCI Marathon World Cup. After the first three rounds, all eyes are now on David Valero Serrano (Klimatiza Orbea Team), the new leader of the men's standings following his victory at Naturland Andorra, and on Wout Alleman, who trails him by just a handful of points.
Also expected to play a leading role are proven contenders such as Leonardo Paez (LeeCougan Basso Factory Racing), always strong and competitive, together with the Italian duo Samuele Porro (Klimatiza Orbea Team) and Stefano Goria, both ready to fight until the very end.
And don't forget the potential outsiders - on a course like this, everything can change in an instant.
In the women's race, the spotlight is firmly on Anna Weinbeer (KTM Spada powered by Brenta Brakes), the dominant force of the season so far.
The Swiss rider arrives in the Dolomites after winning all three previous World Cup rounds and is clearly in outstanding form. Challenging her will be some of the strongest athletes in the discipline, including Natalia Fischer (Extremadura Ecopilas), Claudia Peretti, and above all Rosa Van Doorn, winner of the 2025 UCI World Cup.
