Deutschland Tour 2025 (August 20-24)

[RedheadDane]

Milan takes it, but it was a close one.

 

[Tim Cahill]

I think he won by merit of tighter line along the slight bend

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The difference in style is pretty crazy.

 

[Brullnux]

He's obviously out of form/recovering from the Tour, but Milan has definitely taken a step back this year. He came here after a fairly intense Giro + track summer schedule and cleaned up.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Big win by Brennan.

 

[King Of The Wolds]

Came round Milan. Don't see that often. Insane debut season continues.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Serious scalp, nice to get the better of one of these photo finishes after the Great Amstel Screwjob of 2021.

 

[AlfaLum]

Guy reminds me so much of Sagan

 

[Cycling111]

Now they're declaring Brennan the winner.

 

[Netserk]

Huh? It looked to me on the live footage like Milan held on.

 

[RedheadDane]

Huh? You turn away from this race for a few minutes, and all of a sudden there's a whole new winner?!

 

[Valv.Piti]

As Wout and Laporte declines, and Kooij is leaving, Visma certainly have found a new jewel. This is a 100 wins a career type of talent when he can do this to Milan

 

[Netserk]

GC:

1. Van Poppel
2. Watson +0.16"
3. Brennan +0.20"
4. Van Aert +0.99"
5. Milan +1.02"
6. Wærenskjold +1.64"

Looked like Brennan won from the front on shot. The overhead shot was confusing because you couldn't see the front wheels, but Milan was further forward on his bike, and is a lot bigger, so looked like he'd won it.

10 wins in his debut season and the boy doesnt even have his OWN thread yet?

The Matthew Brennan Threat

In before somebody else gets there. Wow, that was something today. Still in his teens, and made someone as good as Kaden Groves look like he was a nobody. I reckon this thread might get up to a page or two over the next few years.

Very good! Did i also just totally overlook the Grande Paul Magnier and the Paul Seixas threads until now?

Seixas has one, but you still have the chance to be the first to create a Magnier thread.

Superb win for Brennan against one of the best in the world. I wonder what he can do on GC as the remaining stages should suit him too.

Indeed they do. Makes you wonder WTF Visma were doing letting Wout go for bonus seconds close to the finish and then leaving Brennan to fend for himself in the last 3km. Thankfully, Brennan's so good at freelancing, they got away with it.

Wout also tried to get involved in the sprint but he braked completely when he was nearer than a meter to another rider in a left hand curve and lost all hopes of getting a result.

Yeah, that was a bit bizarre to me as well. The team line was that Wout was there to lead Brennan out...except he wasn't there to lead Brennan out anywhere in the last 3k.

On another note, my season of becoming a Brennan fan is going really well.

Watched again. In fairness, I think Wout tried to bring Brennan forward for the intermediate, lost him, and thought 'sod it, I'll take those seconds, rather than another team'. In hindsight, those watts spent may have hindered him in the finale, but I do get it. Not questioning Wout. Great leader, great team player 👍.

Big win MB!
