Overview

  • Race commissaires ruled Danny van Poppel deviated in the final sprint and impeded rivals, disqualifying him and elevating Sören Waerenskjold to the stage win with bonus seconds.
  • Waerenskjold now leads the overall by 10 seconds over Jhonatan Narváez, with Riley Sheehan third at 15 seconds.
  • A tempo surge at Buttenberg and crosswinds created a select group of about 40 riders as E TeTeam Emirates and Visma/Lease a Bike drove the pace.
  • Top sprinters including Jonathan Milan and Phil Bauhaus were dropped, while Florian Lipowitz rode through hand pain to help bring van Poppel back to the front group.
  • The race concludes Sunday from Halle (Saale) to Magdeburg on a flat route, with the mountains jersey still tight as Miguel Heidemann and Vinzent Dorn share the lead and Enzo Leijnse having swept earlier KOMs.
