Lorenzo Manzin (Vital Concept) wins the sprint into Limoges on the fourth and final stage. Nicholas Edet finshes in eight - enough to win the final GC.
Nice finish it was, too.
I watched the final 20kms alongside the weird BinckBank tour, which produced yet another surprise winner."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

Add one for the Tour de l'Avenir. Fairly comfortable that one though.Blazing Saddles wrote:RonB wrote:hommelbier wrote:BinckBank
Small break of four - Jonas Rickaert takes himself out of contention by running into the back of his own team car when stopping for a wheel change - remaining three make it to the finish with Magnus Cort Neilsen (Astana) taking the win.
From Alex Dowsett's Twitter ... I think the peloton has forgotten how to peloton
There have been four wins by the breakaway, this week.
Twice in BinchBank, stage one in Colorado and yesterday in Hungary.
That last one by just 2 seconds after 200kms.0 -
Arnaud Demare having a fairly successful Tour Poitou-Charentes. He's won all four stages so far including a short stage this morning followed by a TT this afternoon.0

Deutschland Tour
Back after 10 years. Yesterday’s stage from Koblenz to Bonn was one for the sprinters with young Colombian sprinter Alvaro Hodeg (Quickstep) taking the win ahead of German champion (Bora) Pascal Ackerman. Marcel Kittel did not challenge and has abandoned the race before today’s start.
Today the stage passes through the Eifel region, more like a day in the Ardennes, before a finish in Germany’s oldest city, lovely Trier.
Currently a small group of four with 64km to the finish and the peleton at 2min 10s.0 -
Deutschland Tour
Leaving behind the sceniic Mosel valley the climbs of Auf Zummet and Naurath have seen the break pulled back and a number of riders, including Dumoulin and Bardet, attacking the peleton, but on the descent the peleton is pretty much back together and the sprinters can get back on.
