Formerly Rund um den Henninger Turm, a proper classic, but now still a nice little race, with good crowds. Last year won by Spilak, Moser in 2012

Mediocre field this year, but still Kristoff, Degenkolb, Boom, Keldermann, Ciolek, Hoogerland, Tekle

Live: http://www.hr-online.de/website/avplaye ... =512&h=316 No idea what's happening and how far to go, but it's nice an hilly

    Whole race is live, so there's a good way to go.
    I always watch it on tv.
    The weather is better than it was for the start.

    No names up the road. Will all come back together and Scott Thwaites will win :D

    They must get bored easily.
    I've always found it very distracting.

    Unfortunately this year, the break is unlucky and hasn't stayed just ahead of the charge,
    as it did the past two editions.

    Actually, are you sure Bennet is riding?

    Last lap. The city circuit is stringing them out.

    Within the last lap; looking at the teams at the front, it'll be Kristoff, Ciolek, Boom or Dumoulin

    Kristoff takes another one.

    Thought that lapped rider was going to cause even more of a grand national wild horse incident.

    In the Tour de France this year? As neo-pro with BMC? When he's not had a single top 10 placing as pro yet?

    Kristoff I meant! My predictions are bad, but they're not that bad.

    I saw him finish in the sprint just before Ciolek and Boom, but shown as DNF in results. Usual German efficiency?
