Germany seems to focus on the Juniors and U23 races in Wollongong.
Juniors: Mauro Brenner (RSG Ansbach), Matteo Groß (Team Auto Eder / RV Conc. Reute), Emil Herzog/ITT (Team Auto Eder / SG Simmerberg 1904), Louis Leidert/ITT (RSV rad-net), Fabian Wünstel (RSV Rheinzabern).
Herzog won GP Rüebliland, Ain Bugey Valromey Tour, Course de la Paix Juniors and Internationale Cottbuser Junioren-Etappenfahrt. That makes him one of the big favourites for the road race. He can time trial as well. However it seems like his team mate Mathieu Kockelmann might be the one to beat against the clock.
U23: Maurice Ballerstedt (Alpecin - Deceuninck), Felix Engelhardt (Tirol KTM), Michel Heßmann/ITT (Jumbo - Visma), Pierre-Pascal Keup (Lotto - Kern Haus), Jannis Peter (P&S Benotti), Tim Torn Teutenberg (Leopard), Hannes Wilksch/ITT (Team DSM Development)
Engelhardt is the current European Champion. He will join Bike Exchange next year. Heßmann got third in this years Avenir and is a great allrounder. He and Hannes Wilksch will also start the ITT. All these riders are able to produce some kind of result.
Elite Women: Ricarda Bauernfeind (CANYON // SRAM Generation), Romy Kasper (Jumbo - Visma), Franziska Koch (Team DSM), Mieke Kröger (Human Powered Health), Liane Lippert (Team DSM), Lea Lin Teutenberg (1999/Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling Team).
Well...it's a good team, but I'm afraid it's not good enough to contest for the rainbow jersey, once Team Ned will tear this race to pieces. Also Liane Lippert does not seem to be in the great shape she was in during the spring classics.
Elite Men: Nikias Arndt (Team DSM), Nico Denz (Team DSM), Miguel Heidemann (B&B Hotels-KTM), Jonas Koch (Bora - hansgrohe), Jannik Steimle (Quick - Step Alpha Vinyl), Georg Zimmermann (Intermarché - Wanty - Gobert Matériaux).
We won't have Lenny Kämna, who was burned out once again by his ego and his team. We won't have Schachmann, who was burned out by Covid and his team. Also no Max Walscheid, who has to race for points with Cofidis. Also no Nils Politt, who seems to end his season after Tour of Britain. Also no Bauhaus, no Ackermann...
All this makes it also very unlikely, that they will defend the mixed relay gold. I guess it would have been mission impossible anyway. Netherlands will enroll MvdP, Mollema, Hoole, van Dijk, van Vleuten & Markus.
