Fresh from the 2024 Appenninica MTB Stage Race (September 2-7), memories of this epic six-day mountain bike adventure remain vivid for all participants. The story of one of Europe’s premier stage races now comes to YouTube as a six-episode series, launching Thursday, November 7th.
Produced by The Outdoor Lab, the series takes viewers to the heart of the action. New episodes will be released every Thursday at 18:30 CET on Appenninica’s YouTube channel, starting November 7th, with each installment focusing on one stage of the race. The series follows the intense competition through Nina Brenn and Hans Becking‘s victories in the women’s and men’s categories.
The race traversed the Emilia-Romagna Apennines, beginning with Bologna’s iconic San Luca climb and winding through Loiano, Lizzano in Belvedere, and Fiumalbo before its finale in Castelnovo ne’ Monti. Beyond the competition itself, the series captures personal triumphs and emotional journeys, showcasing the determination of every participant in this formidable challenge.
In line with the event’s Stage Analysis tradition, the series emphasizes the human stories that have defined Appenninica since its 2019 debut. While showcasing the race’s challenges, each episode celebrates the participants’ spirit and determination. The series also highlights the Emilia-Romagna Apennines’ distinctive charm, from its landscapes and local cuisine to its characteristic villages and warm hospitality.
Appenninica MTB Stage Race, one of Emilia-Romagna’s major sporting events, continues its longstanding partnership with the Region to promote the Apennine territory, an area whose beauty and potential remain largely unexplored by the wider public.
