Pogacar and Ferrand-Prévot headline star-studded Beking Monaco 2025

A year after Tadej Pogacar stormed to a solo win in his rainbow jersey at a rain-shortened edition, the Slovenian will return to headline the 2025 Beking Monaco, set for 23 November. The event, created by Matteo Trentin, continues to grow, this time adding an equally strong women’s field led by Pauline Ferrand-Prévot.

The world champion and multiple Tour de France winner will front a men’s line-up featuring Jonathan Milan, Giulio Ciccone, Davide Formolo, Tim Wellens, Steven Kruijswijk, Michael Matthews, and local riders Victor Langellotti and Antoine Berlin. 

On the women’s side, Ferrand-Prévot, winner of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes, will be joined by Lorena Wiebes, Anna van der Breggen, Kasia Niewiadoma, Urška Žigart, and Italian track stars Vittoria Guazzini and Chiara Consonni.

For Matteo Trentin, the BeKING Monaco event has always been about more than a criterium race. Since its launch in 2021, he has aimed to bring professional cycling closer to the local community of Monaco. A central feature is the Kids Ride that gives children the chance to ride on the circuit used by the pros and get up close to their heroes. 

Earlier in the day, the programme includes charity and community rides alongside activities for families and children. The event supports the Fondation Princesse Charlène de Monaco and the Fondazione Michele Scarponi and also features sessions on road safety and soft mobility, reflecting Trentin’s commitment to making cycling safer and more inclusive.
