Tour of Germany 2019 – Stage 3 [FULL STAGE]

August 31, 2019

Tour of Germany 2019 – Stage 3 – Göttingen – Eisenach : 189 km

The Deutschland Tour (English: Tour of Germany and sometimes Deutschland-Rundfahrt in German) is the most important multi-stage road bicycle race in Germany. Initially the race was held in May/June, but from 2005 until 2008 it was moved to August as part of the UCI ProTour. On October 16, 2008 the organizers announced that the 2009 edition would be cancelled, following the doping cases that were revealed in the sport of cycling. Marketing chiefs said they were unable to finance the nine-day race due to a lack of interested sponsors after the latest revelations of cyclists testing positive for the blood-booster CERA. A revival for 2017 was announced on 8 March 2016. In 2018, the A.S.O. revived the Deutschland Tour and included a 4-stage-race into a cycling festival.

Kasper Asgreen (Deceuninck-QuickStep) beat Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo) in a two-up sprint to stake stage 3 at the Deutschland Tour Saturday, while the Trek rider’s runner-up finish 17 seconds ahead of a select chase group lifted him into the overall race lead.

Asgreen bridged to Stuyven after the Trek rider escaped the bunch over the Hohe Sonne climb, and the pair powered away to the finish over a 14-rider chase group that started coming apart before the line. Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain-Merida) led the chasers in for third place

“We made a plan today, followed it and did our job perfectly,” Asgreen said. “We set out this morning with the goal of taking the victory, so we placed one rider in the front so we didn’t have to work in the pack, then we kept a hard pace in the last hour and especially on the climbs, before making the decisive move. Being able to deliver the win after such a fantastic team effort makes me very happy.”

Stuyven now leads the general classification by 13 seconds over Colbrelli with one stage remaining. Overnight leader and stage 2 winner Alexander Kristoff (UAE Team Emirates) slipped to 17th.
