The 37th LOTTO Thüringen Ladies Tour, scheduled for June 2025, has been canceled following the withdrawal of key funding by the Free State of Thuringia. The race organizers reported a funding shortfall of €200,000 which is critical for hosting the event. Despite attempts to find solutions, the required financial support was not secured in time, leading to an early halt in organizational activities. This decision raises uncertainties about the race’s potential reappearance in 2026 and reflects the broader challenges faced by women's cycling events in securing sustainable funding.
