Lidl Deutschland Tour 2024, August 21-25

[Lequack]

The one and only Deutchland Tour. We might be in the midst of a Vuelta s Espana, but there is still room for an interesting race. The parkours are anything but flat, so it should provide for an entertaining race.

Notable GC/allaround mentions: Buitrago, Poels, Hayter, Johannessen, Zwiehoff, Ganna
Notable sprinters: Kristoff, Milan, Pedersen, Van Poppel, Viviani

Pedersen, Milan, Ganna and Syritsa can be a rolling roadblock on their own! Big men .... A few youngsters given a chance - Nordhagen, Del Grosso, etc and the Forum favourite Masnada.

mads pedersen > not a "sprinter", also not that big either like 179cm, also also more "all-round" than all the ones described at the top as such

 

[QueenStagiaire]

All of these are medium mountain, but still possible bunch sprints. A bit underwhelming.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Kind of looks like 4 reduced group sprints to me..

Yep. Has Mads Pedersen written all over it.

 

[RedheadDane]

So, they may not be going to Berlin.
But Berlin will be racing.

He does win a lot of sprints for a non sprinter though.

Is this the world's shortest stage, in terms of the finishing time?

Thanks for sharing. He is faster than European TT champion castrovejo. Not so bad, maybe inside the top 100

The prologue in Linz is quite uphill, not very high speeds. There used to be a prologue in Tour de Kumano of the same distance, but flat: 49 seconds. Riders we know today (Kaden Groves, Jon Aberasturi, Blake Quick, Orluis Aular e.g.) always used to lose to some random Japanese rider like Takayuki Abe.

 

[Rob5091]

So the teams did not bother to bring TT bikes and equipment for a 2.9 km prologue, I assume.

Clearly, that's a rule from the organisers...

 

[SafeBet]

Is Zijlaard the most specialized rider in the current peloton?

 

[RedheadDane]

De Bod taking a tumble.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Is Zijlaard the most specialized rider in the current peloton?

He's also a pretty good leadout, so more of a two-trick pony.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

SUPERJONNY

 

[Berflamand]

Milan wins with Pedersen 2nd on less than a second.

How are Lidl-Trek going to decide who to ride for? They're both fast and they both can get over most hills.

 

[tobydawq]

Great day for Milan. Winning both in Germany and France.

Where is Milan Vader riding today?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Great day for Milan. Winning both in Germany and France.
