Eschborn-Frankfurt 2026, May 1

The group will start hesitating and attacking at some point, that's probably the chance for the peloton (if they actually exist) to come back

maybe, but Zimmermann is at home, and tends to be fairly confident in his sprint. Lotto may sacrifice Gualdi.

There's no way Lotto should bank on Zimmermann. Yeah he might be good in a sprint against 60kg climbers in a TdF breakaway but not in this environment.

This really looks like a copy of the 2023 edition, peloton didn't come back then.

The only way Lotto wins this is with an attack. But but with the peloton so close they risk losing everything if that group starts losing speed, and it's look like that now

This kind of route would be great for a World Championship, in this era.

 

[Samamba]

It's only 2 or 3 guys in the peloton, but front group might be throwing it

 

[Samamba]

18 seconds

 

[Tim Cahill]

I can see someone on the front blinking and really slowing it down but they have enough of a gap for this to stick

 

[Samamba]

Valgren ready to attack

 

[ice&fire]

Can't they send a tram in the way of the peloton?

Quickstep is chasing, so Dainese must be there

 

[Tim Cahill]

Stork and Gualdi finessing, a bit

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hahaha love it, Zimmermann wins it after sitting at the back and gambling

Look at this clueless moron lolol!

 

[SafeBet]

Great finish! And great win for Zimmerman.

 

[Danskebjerge]

The Germans are happy.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Zimmermann found the right gear to overtake Bilbao

Great post

 

[RedheadDane]

ZIMMERMANN!

 

[Danskebjerge]

Zimmermann should thank Valgren.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Zimmermann was probably the one who worked the least in that group.

 

[Samamba]

Ok, not gonna lie, I underestimated Zimmermann haha. I knew he could be pretty fast in a smaller group, but still.

Awesome for Gigi himself, definitely a race that was on his bucket list.

And Lotto really need this too. after a good team effort too, it's been a while.

Didn't sacrifice Gualdi, but nice shout!

Last 7km yeah, Lotto finessed a lot. Dangerous gamble (cause they didn't have a sprinter behind), but it payed off

I have questions regarding Troels Tobias Lund's team in this race - seems they didn't chase enough. But hard to know with so little coverage.

I don't think he was in the race.
