Defending champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Franziska Koch (Picnic PostNL) overcame a three-on-one situation to retain her German national championships road race title, launching a solo attack from a group with three 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto riders to win in Linden.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Antonia Niedermaier (Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto) finished second, 14 seconds behind Koch, whilst her teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Rosa Klöser took third, 43 seconds down. The third Canyon ride⛦r, Justyna Czapla, took fourth.
The race, set on hilly laps, had been aggressive and breaking up all day long. Koch had initially found herself in a leadi🐭ng duo with Niedermaier, and when they were joined by Klöser and Czapla, it looked difficult for her to crack the Canyon domination, but she did, attacking on the final uphill section and going solo to vicotry.
With action kicking off early on the laps, the race completely exploded, with the leaders riding everyone out of the race, exemplified by the fact that fifth-placed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Liane Lippert (Movistar) finished 4:47 down on the winner.
This is Koch's second consecutive German road race title, after ou💙tsprinting Lippert to win the jersey in 2024.
German squad Canyon-SRAM were the biggest team in the race, with Niedermaier trying to do the double after h🌃er time trial victory, but despite their strength in numbers, they couꦜldn't better the acceleration power from Koch.
