Pascal Ackermann tore after a brilliant royal sprint in front of the Schwerin closed at Tempo 70 the arms in the height, then he celebrated his personal release with the colleagues. The German Top Printer has found back to the top shape with a starting victory of Germany Tour. The Pfälzer, who had not been considered for the Tour de France due to weak services, won on Thursday on the first stage over 191.4 kilometers from Stralsund to Schwerin in the mass sprint in front of his compatriot Phil Bauhaus and the Austrian Marco Haller.
Ackermann also took over the red jersey of the largestest. Routinier André Greipel could not mix on the stage by his old home as well as Tour-de-France-Sprintkönig Mark Cavendish in the final.
Ackermann: I will give everything again at the end of the year
I'm in a great shape. I'll give everything again at the end of the year. I was sick two weeks ago, but I trained hard, said Ackermann, who had attracted the sprint early: It was a bit early, But we had a tailwind.
In the final, Ackermann played his final skills and celebrated his sixth season win. Thus, the season for the 27-year-old still seems to take a conciliatory end, even if he even speaks of a lost year. Ackermann had not won a race until the summer and was therefore not nominated for the tour with many noise noises. The frustration does not go anymore. I look forward, said Ackermann.
For the coming season, the top printer leaves the German Bora-Hansgrohe Rennstall and changes to Tour Champion Tadej Pogacar into the UAE team. I was now five years in the same team and just have to see something new. Therefore, I look forward to a complete wallpaper change, said Ackermann of the DPA. Discussing for the tour was not the reason for the farewell. Whether he will celebrate his tour premiere at UAE, appears questionable. Finally, the racing team is completely aligned with Pogacar.
no successful prelude for gold - also Cavendish goes behind
For Gripile, however, it was no longer enough to a home win. The native Rostocker (I know every street) with the Deutschland Tour also uses his personal farewell tour. After 17 profides and 158 victories - more than any German cyclist - is the end of the season. Even his long-standing rival Cavendish would have given him the victory Aligned, as the Sprinter said ZDF, But I am here too to prevent that. But for the British, the tour began, but not as desired, Cavendish came early on early on, which remained unlockless.
Before it came to the sprint finale, one up to six drivers was allowed to put heavy outlet group from sub-class teams into scene. Up to four minutes drove out, but five kilometers before the destination, the Sprinter teams had restored the old order.
Unspectacular rolled Greipels Team College Chris Froome in the field. The four-time tour champion works on his shape construction after being heavily suffered from France. For the overall victory, Froome is unlikely to come into question, but the tour is more likely to align classic specialists.
On Friday, the Germany tour with the second stage is continued over 186.6 kilometers from Sangerhausen to Ilmenau. The four-day tour, which had to pause because of the Corona pandemic last year, ends on Sunday after 720.5 kilometers in Nuremberg.
