Bauhaus is the best on this type of races, but Würth has some arguments to bring Zepunkte clear of the bunch, or Willwohl right at he line. Let’s see how it goes.
Würth indeed chases hard the 8 amateurs break, which clears 45 riders off the pack with all the favorites.
The break is caught with 18 km left.
Dressler tries an attack with 12 km left.
It’s Sütterlin who has a small gap 2 km from the line.
Fastned is chasing, Würth fall back.
We’re on for the big duel between Bauhaus and Willwohl !
It’s a tight margin, but Willwohl wins !
Very good victory for neo-promoted team Würth before their big rebuild !

Sütterlin should easily add another title today.
Politt does his best to beat the favorite. He does a good job, finishing in 1’00’35.
But there’s no real suspense. Sütterlin wins by 30 seconds.
