Also Froome and Cavendish start at Germany tour

A prominent subscriber field promises the third edition of the 2018 newly launched Germany tour. Their start announced, among other things, the four-time tour winner Chris Froome from Great Britain as well as his compatriot Mark Cavendish. The Sprinter has won four stages at the tour this year and moved with a total of 34 daily victories with the France tour with the record holder EDDY Merckx.

Cavendish measures German Sprint Elite

Cavendish is also on the way from Stralsund to Nuremberg on the German Top Sprinter Pascal Ackermann, his longtime Rivals André Greipel and the Phil Bauhaus currently in strong form, which should provide a lot of tension in the fight for stair wins. Especially as Germany expert Alexander Kristoff is at the start. The Norwegian has already won Eschborn-Frankfurt three times and already a stage at Germany tour.

Polit and Degenkolb are among the Favorites

Whether Froome can say a word about the overall victory remains to be seen. His team of Israel Start Up Nation has set up with Patrick Bevin and Rick Zabel two strong start-ups. To the circle of the favorites on the overall victory are counted from the German point of view but John Degenkolb and Nils Politt counted. Polit won the final stage in Stuttgart in 2018 and ran over the overall victory by only three seconds. Degenkolb, who is starting as a captain of a German National Team, is likely to bring an extra-portion of motivation, as the last stages lead through Thuringia and Franconia, where the 32-year-old grown up. And the best memories of the destination Nuremberg has: In 2015 he decided in the Franconia metropolis the final stage of the last time after Bayern tour for himself and thus secured the overall victory.

It will not be easy for the two German drivers. Danger threatens from its own country, Emanuel Buchmann is likely to drive in attack mode after a previously disappointing season. And the Portuguese Joao Almeida has shown his victory at the Poland Runge, that is to be expected with him. With the Australian Ben O'Connor and the Spaniard Pelle Bilbao, the fourth and ninst places of the Tour de France are in their respective codes.

However, the 22 teams can make changes to their codes until the eve of the start in Stralsund. The final start list will not be announced at the official team presentation on August 25 from 18 o'clock.
