The Sparkassen Giro Bochum was a road bicycle race held for both men's and women's around an urban circuit in the German city of Bochum, Germany. The race was first held in 1998, and was last held in 2019.[1] The men's race was part of the UCI Europe Tour from 2005, being organised as 1.1 race. The women's race was part of the UCI Women's Road World Cup in 2014 and 2015, but did not join the UCI Women's World Tour for 2016.
In 2022, it was announced that the race would not return, after the 2020 and 2021 editions had been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]
