Don't think Politt was beating Lampaert in that sprint anyway, though.
I agree but in the end getting on the podium would be already a great result, if you think this is normally a pure sprinter classics. But today's Top 10 sound more like Brussle cycling classics then the normal Hamburg sprint show.

Well I had hoped for a Viviani win, so the joke would have worked better.

I don't know how to break this to you, but... Viviani isn't a Boomer either.

Politt should have been the only one in that group playing games. Beats me why he pulled in the last 1.5 km.

He's Nils Politt. Don't think I've ever seen him playing games.

While I'm normally a bit of a hater on both German WT races (and I still believe they're together with Great Ocean road the most irrelevant one day races on the WT calender), I gotta give a bit credit on how they both gotten a lot better over the past few years.
Eschborn Frankfurt was very good this year, Hamburg was entertaining last year with Haller beating WVA and this year again had exiting final 30 minutes. It's obviously not Ardennes or cobbles quality but still a lot better than the last decade of both basically being the German Schelderprijs.

To be fair, the final 20 km of Hamburg are often quite entertaining. So were they today. Great effort and timing by Petersen.
I watched it on location. Good to have live coverage so you can follow it as a spectator on your mobile device and know more or less what the situation is on the last kilometers. Still, this finish was too complex to get hold of standing 30 meters from the finish line. I did manage to see (what I thought was) Mads Pedersen celebrate.
In general, the race was very interesting because of the attacks by UAE and others on the climbs. This was an example of how big a difference it makes that a climb is +12 percent gradient instead of, say, 8 percent. Of course, there also has to be teams that believe they can avoid a bunch sprint in a race that finishes with a bunch sprint almost every time.
