Organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), the Hong Kong Cyclothon continues for the fifth year, with the return of the revolutionary international professional Hammer Series to take Hong Kong Cyclothon to a thrilling climax this October!
Hong Kong - The Only Asian City to Host the Hammer Series Finale
After two Hammer Series stops in Stavanger, Norway and Limburg, Netherlands in May and June, respectively, the final race will return to Asia on October 13 for the second consecutive year with the Hammer Hong Kong, a Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Asia Tour Class 1.1 Road Race.
Launched in 2017, with the recent announcement that one more stage would be added in Colombia in 2020, the Hammer Series is unique team vs. team race format with no individual rider rankings. The Hammer Hong Kong is designed to maximise spectator excitement, with close-up views of 12 UCI WorldTour teams and other professional teams in two thrilling disciplines: the Hammer Sprint and the Hammer Chase. The all-out races take place on a 3.8km circuit in Tsim Sha Tsui, in the heart of Hong Kong, which serves as a spectacular arena for
the fast and furious action.
The team that crosses the finish line first in the Hammer Chase will win the Hammer Hong Kong, while the team that accumulates the most points in all three Hammer Series races will be crowned overall Hammer Series 2019 Champions.
