For the fifth consecutive year, the world’s elite cyclists descended on Port Hercule for Beking Monaco, a now-iconic event that combines elite sport with social impact…
Launched by Tudor team rider and Monaco resident Matteo Trentin, Beking Monaco raises funds for two important causes: the Princess Charlène of Monaco Foundation and Fight Aids Monaco. The event has grown year on year, blending high-level competition with family-friendly activities and charitable purpose.
Under clear blue skies, a star-studded peloton including multiple world champions completed 40 laps at a blistering average speed of 46 km/h. But it all came down to the final sprint, with Italian powerhouse Jonathan Milan surging ahead to take victory, edging out Slovenian sensation Tadej Pogačar — the 2024 winner — by just a second.

Monaco’s own Victor Langellotti thrilled the local crowd by finishing on the podium in third place, while Robert Stannard took fifth and clocked the fastest lap in 1 minute 38 seconds. Milan, who was making only his second appearance at Beking Monaco, was awarded the winner’s trophy by His Serene Highness Prince Albert II.
“It was a spectacular edition,” Milan said after the race. “High-performance sport with a lot of emotion, and all for a good cause.”
With its unique mix of adrenaline and altruism, Beking Monaco continues to cement its place as a highlight of the Principality’s sporting calendar — a celebration of cycling, community, and commitment.
