4 out of 4! Lidl-Trek wins once again at Deutschland Tour as he sprints to stage 3 win
Cycling
Lidl-Trek are dominating the Deutschland Tour and have now won their fourth stage out of four. After the prologue, all three sprints have been won by current race leader Mads Pedersen or, as was the case today, Jonathan Milan who took his third win of the week.
The breakaway of the day featured four riders in Matteo Vercher, Taco van der Hoorn, Marius Mayrhofer and Jorgen Nordhagen. In the peloton Santiago Buitrago attacked in the peloton and bridged across to the front group.
Buitrago eventually kept pushing, going off the front with Vercher, but the pace in the peloton was high in a time where there wasn't much climbing and eventually the race came back together.
It was then another textbook leadout from Mads Pedersen who, despite leading the race, put himself in the head and led Milan out in the uphill sprint. Milan had no serious trouble to take the victory, ahead of Max Kanter and Jordi Meeus.

- If Valentino Rossi could never win during his period of dominance, and massive personality, then Pogacar not winning isn't a massive surprise. Cycling isn't a Premier League global sport......only one event reaches the mainstream every year - and that's not good enough.wipperman9519-12-2024
- I don't think it's only a British thing; the biggest talents aren't usually drawn to CX. Where are all the top Italian, French, Spanish, Slovenian CX riders? Apart from Belgium, and Netherlands, it's not really a target for up and coming cyclists - as there's no career unless you move to Belgium. Other countries can't support a proper professional series, like an international sport should be able to do. Lets not forget, since 2016, British riders have won plenty of World championships; with Pidcock, Richards, Tulett & Backstedt all winning more than one..... And, there was a time when Belgium didn't rule the roost in CX; that was Switzerland, but since the advent of XC MTB, their top off-road talents race there instead of CX - and the 2nd raters not good enough for XC MTB, race CX.wipperman9519-12-2024
- "25-34 are only 13% of USA Cyclings membership" Wow. I own a bike shop, and that number comports both with what I see in the business as well as on the road and trails, but it's somehow hugely demoralizing to see it quantified. Thirteen percent?verve82519-12-2024

santiagobenites18-12-2024 - Every year cycling teams force their fans to memorize the jersey colors of all the teams so you can tell which team is doing what in a race. Not like normal sports where the jersey's and numbers mostly stay the same year after year.Sweep18-12-2024
