Lidl Deutschland Tour 2024, August 21-25

[KZD]

Huge sprint from Milan after a Pedersen leadout, this Deutschland Tour could be the first preview from what's to come in the next year's Tour, sprint wise.

Just watched the sprint. When Mads P leads him out, nobody in the world beats him. Fastest man in the world

Meeus couldn't even hold his wheel, and Meeus isn't exactly a farmer. And that was after spending like a kilometre in the wind ten minutes prior for no apparent reason.

This, until now we have only seen Milan with a decent leadout man, not with a great one.
Milan with a Pedersen leadout is ready to dominate at the Tour.

This Deutschland Tour really needs to work on its punctuality! They didn't finish on time for the 5 O'Clock News, so German TV stopped its linear coverage with 5k to go

Seems German TV needs to work on their flexibility.
How hard can it be to postpone the news?

There are some small climbs in the final. I wonder if we see some attacking riders making moves

The better question: who the *** is the five o'clock news for? That's exactly early enough that anyone coming home from work can't watch it...

Retired people?
People who get off work early?

in 10 km they are facing the Lauterburg with 3km 7,9%. Buitrago, Gloag should try to make it difficult there.. Last climb on the final lap are too easy to drop Milan and Pedersen in my opinion..

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Remember when this kind of scenario would have been really good for Ethan 'Moreno Moser' Hayter?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

German Eurosport saying Milan has bad legs because he‘s gotten dropped on this climb because they don‘t believe in physiology.

 

[Samamba]

Nordhagen would've ridden everyone into Narnia if he was in Avenir, kid is not normal (if he's fit)

 

[Squire]

Archie Ryan getting very few results out of his awesome form in recent weeks. First Poland then here.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Fausto looking comfortable in the peloton

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Milan is coming back

 

[Earns1985]

Skujins not leading might kill the front group..

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

According to PCS its Anders Halland Johannessen in the front group and not Tobias. Is that really so?

I dunno. Can't really tell them apart...
Hoping we'll get to see the bib numbers.

 

[Lequack]

So Pedersen the favorite for the finish?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

I dunno. Can't really tell them apart...

One is usually fast and the other slower

 

[RedheadDane]

One is usually fast and the other slower

That clarified it...
I think the answer to which one is in the front is "Yes."

 

[Lequack]

Pedersen looks huge compared tho the other two.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Kind of an inevitable Pedersen win, but this was as entertaining as such a win was going to get.

 

[RedheadDane]

Someone should explain to the Trek boys that just because the team is called Lidl-Trek, and it's the Lidt Deutschland Tour, doesn't mean they have to win all the stages...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Looks like it was the faster twin.
