Heidemann kept his high tempo, but nobody could stop Tony Martin from taking his 10th German title and 9th in a row.

Wow Tony Martin. Congrats.

 

[Marco-Sun]

Does anyone know why Marco Brenner didn't finish? At least I can't find him in the results currently...

 

[WKA311]

Does anyone know why Marco Brenner didn't finish? At least I can't find him in the results currently...

He finished 8mins down. Lost 6mins in first half, probs a crash or serious mechanical.

 

[Mayomaniac]

No odea what to expect from Fabbro in the Italian RR. With his Tirreno legs or the form he had last year in t-a and the Giro he could be a dark horse. That said, 2 years ago he finished 8th on an easier route without showing anything big beforehand, that year they also raced with almost 40 degrees Celsius.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

That's Muzic to my ears!
She won the junior RR title in 2017, the U23 one in 2019 and now the elite championship in 2021.
I expect her to dethrone the president in 2023.

She will probably get the best national champion's jersey in the sport, since the women's FDJ team isn't even encumbered by Groupama and can just get on with being classy.

And don't fear her being dropped on the climb in that group, she's probably the best climber in it

 

[SafeBet]

Not sure if already mentioned but Bettiol won't start tomorrow due to some muscle issue.

Several teams have lots of muscle and he doesn't have anyone to protect him?

Nice one

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Mick van Dijke generously let his brother win the U23 RR.
I wonder what happened to Marco Brenner, he lost more than 8 minutes to Martin. Not a good day for DSM in Germany.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Norsgaard has confirmed she is starting tomorrow, so the injury was apparently not that bad.

 

[RedheadDane]

She will probably get the best national champion's jersey in the sport, since the women's FDJ team isn't even encumbered by Groupama and can just get on with being classy.

I thought both FDJs basically went by the tactic of "Who gives a *** about sponsors? We have a national champion!"

HeideMANN

I expect Bora to sign him tomorrow to a 10 year contract.

That would indeed make sense, now that Ackermann is on his way out.

He missed the start.

Well they do need to mann up their roster

C'est Mannifique!

 

[BlueRoads]

So Brenner did seriously miss his start. How can that happen?!
Did he have problems with his material... or did he just chat a bit...?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Michel Heßmann won the U23 ITT in Germany, so BORA has a few options, if they fail to land Almannda.

Actually their mannmanagement has been poor recently.
They missed out on quite a few manns, including Super-mann, and now they will let go of Ackermann? Poor!

They discovered, that Pascal is actually a poor mann's mann. And if they brought him to the Tour, he would have had to sprint against his teammate manno a manno.

Beats me; better ask Pedro!

[Libertine Seguros]

Course suggests Liane should be favourite here unless the profile is overexaggerating the climb.

I guess it's between her and Lisa Brennauer, maybe Clara Koppenburg on a good day.

Group of seven leading the race:
Lisa Brennauer, Ricarda Bauernfeind, Kathrin Hammes, Carolin Schiff, Clara Koppenburg, Hannah Ludwig, Liane Lippert
