Before the start of the 2004 HEW Cyclassics

The HEW Cyclassics is an annual one-day cycling race in and around Hamburg. Although it is a race with a short history, it is nevertheless reckoned as a "classic". It started as an unimportant race in 1996, but because of the fast growing popularity of cycling in Germany, it was made a part of the UCI World Cup in 1998. Since 2005, it is a part of the UCI ProTour.

The route of the race varies, but is often around 250 km long. During a number of loops through Hamburg, the hill Waseberg is climbed a number of times.

The sponsor of the Cyclassics, the Hamburg electricity plant HEW, has adopted a new name ("Vattenfall Europe Hamburg"), and from 2006, this cycling race will be known as the Vattenfall Cyclassics.
