There is one big favorite today and that is Zepuntke.
Weber attacks on the 2nd of 4 cobble sections. Puma is the team with the numbers trying to control the race and they soon bring him back.
Weber again takes it upon himself to set a harder pace on the cobbles and reduces this group further.
Krieger now launches an attack before the final cobble section.
Zepuntke has been very passive, just following every move. The cobbles are now over and a group of Meiler, Degenkolb, Weber, Kanter and the former are in the running with 5 km left.
Interestingly Degenkolb the best sprinter here doesn't wait for the sprint he attacks now!
John Degenkolb had the right idea though. He wins the German NC with a solo effort ahead of Weber and Kanter.

1h08'56''
Politt then puts Puma back on top.
