Deutschland Tour, 2.Pro 26th - 29th August 2021

[Earns1985]

The GC could really be for the sprinters here..

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Great leadout by Bystrøm, which made it harder for Ackermann and Bauhaus to get onto Kristoff's wheel.
But the old man still needed to have something left himself, which he obviously had. Nice win.

Froomey roll in just now?

The GC could really be for the sprinters here..

The teams decide it at the last stage. It will be rainy and the race can explode if the riders make it hard. Tomorrow will probably be a sprint, perhaps with Cavendish.

DQS has interest in riding it hard, I think.
And plenty of options.

 

[Feticheur]

Kristoff really likes to win in Germany. Did it so many times at the Henninger Race or whatever it is called now.

 

[noob]

I thought yesterday that QS were going to take this race, but I don't see it happening anymore.

They have talked about going for Cav, Cav and Almeida. I don't see anyone of those 3 taking it. I heard on Eurosport today Almeida should be GC favourite, but I don't see it happening. And Cavendish seems to get stuck too low in the peleton ever since Paris.

I wish Greipel would win for obvious reasons though. (I know it won't likely happen ) ❤️

 

[roundabout]

well, if it is the same weather as today on stage 4. maybe something can happen

Eschborn–Frankfurt is it's current name.

Having a profile for almost 8.5 years before posting anything gotta be some kind of record, surely

I liked LR recap of stage 1

 

[noob]

I just got the thought DQS might save Almeida for tomorrow? (Otherwise he's completely invisible in this race.)

Also better just let everyone loose in a race like this in their situation. They have nothing to lose.

 

[noob]

Seems more or less all DQS is on the almost front of the peleton today. Obviously set up around Cavendish today.

Horrible weather again.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Weather looks absolutely disgusting, don't think Buchmann is enjoying playing the workhorse Ganna style for ages
Think break might take this one.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Politt! Great final 10km this!

 

[roundabout]

Very impressive by Politt. How did he get the gap on Teuns? I turned my attention to the Vuelta and then Politt has a decent gap at about 2k to go?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Politt just rode him off his wheel on a short uphill drag, pure power!

 

[Faserr]

Politt rode Teuns of his wheel.

 

[Remy55]

Politt really strong!

 

[noob]

Greipel 3

Ackermann omg

Ackermann omg

Context?

 

[noob]

Context?

Went on the inside of Cavendish, where there was no room. He was almost squeezed. Cavendish just let it be. I wonder if there will be sanctions for Ackermann. It should.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

If justice still applies, let the Gorilla take the final stage.......

 

[noob]

I wish for Ben O'Connor, Almeida, Soler, Cavagna, Theuns etc to go on attacks and wreck havoc today since the race is so open. Otherwise it's gonna simply be boring at this point. I wouldn't mind Politt winning though. He's fun to watch and Greipel looks just as happy when Politt wins as if he won himself.

(Oh all the wishful thinking.)
