 Binck Bank Tour. Ackermann stands too long in the wind. Actually, the prospects for Pascal Ackermann from the Bora hansgrohe team on the 1st stage of the Binck Bank Tour were not that bad. The finish line was flat, he could see it before and the field was reduced to around a third. many of the other sprinters were no longer there because of a mass fall 4.3 km before the end. And those who were there had hardly any support. At Bora hansgrohe, Pascal Ackermann has two people to support him. With these he dominated the final phase. However, his last husband, that was Rüdiger Selig, ran out of breath too early because of this. Others had the greater speed and pushed past Ackermann. He had to act and tried it alone with enormous momentum. That looked pretty good for a while, but then the distance to the finish became too long and Jasper Philipsen from Team UAE passed him on the last minute. Unfortunately for Ackermann, the target photo also showed that the Dane Mads Pedersen from Team ...

  Cycling.  For what is still to come. 3 min read   After raising the cups in  Paris  , the cycling hangover could soon come.  The behavior of some cyclists was too unusual.  There were often performances that were previously referred to as extraterrestrial. Somehow, this time the French state took a vow of silence about the tour.  This time they didn't want to disturb the French national festival.  At least not the day after.  When the French President visited the tour and the President of the tour, recovered in a miraculously short time, chauffeured him through the Alps. Yes, that reminds me a lot of Louis de Funès and his gendarme from Saint Tropez.  The gendarmes didn’t  get upset  and last Wednesday  they  searched  the premises of  Arkea Samsic  after two  orderlies  were picked up with unexpected medication.  Only a few should be on the doping list.  Not yet ? Are there a...

   Tour de Luxembourg and Alexander Krieger 1 min read  7 seconds ago    Tourman Although John Degenkolb has already won a stage of the  Tour de Luxembourg   , Alexander Krieger from Team Alpecin Fenix ​​is ​​the more successful cyclist on this tour.  At least as far as the overall rating is concerned.  After the fourth stage, Krieger is fifth there, but he was already further ahead.  No other German cyclist, not even Degenkolb, has anything to do with the overall ranking.  Degenkolb was eliminated from the first stage of the Tour de France and was allowed to  take part  in the  Luxembourg Tour  with a special permit from the ASO  .  These permits must be requested by the retiring cyclists from the respective organizer so that they do not arbitrarily change races. The 4th stage of the Tour de Luxembourg led from Rodange to Differdange.  At 201 km, it was the longest stage of this year's tour....

  18.9. Tour de France.  It's all over now, baby blue. 3 min read  12 minutes ago    Tour man     Towards the end of the  Tour de France  , the worst nightmares become reality.  You can't pinch yourself anymore and hope to wake up.  No, the horror is the reality.  Many had to bury their dreams. I'm talking about John Degenkolb, for example, who saw his dream swim away on the first day and could no longer catch up with it.  But mother Fortuna is gracious and so Degenkolb won the 3rd stage of the Tour de Luxembourg.  We were there a few years ago with the big tour.  But I am mainly talking about Bernal, Buchmann and Alaphilippe.   All three certainly wanted to somehow win the Tour de France this year.  Somehow and then everything turned out very differently.  Alaphilippe and Buchmann take the sprinters for a walk through France in the tour bus and Bernal was even sent home.  To somewhere, I don'...

  Vuelta a Burgos. Back  to business, darling. <div style="width: 100%" id="tcpp-iframe-kfz"></div> <script src="https://form.partner-versicherung.de/widgets/101272/tcpp-iframe-kfz/kfz-iframe.js"></script> 1 min read  2 months ago    Tour man Yes, good old Horst Schlemmer.  Hasn't he just gone and wandered through northern Spain?  Darling. In any case, the fifth stage of the Burgos Tour got to the point.  The stages of the profile and route approached reality.  So it came to a nice showdown at the Lagunas de Neila.  Yes, it ended up on the lake.  In any case, the lagoon was 1869 meters above sea level and you started at around 1000 meters.  The boys now had time to determine the winner for 12 km.  In the end it was Ivan Ramiro Sozsa from Team Ineos who had the better end for himself.  Sosa had of course only recently arrived with the great masters from Colombia and has now put his masterpiece o...
