But more than on the road, it is on the track that Germany should shine in a few weeks, and in particular thanks to its women's delegation. With its sprinter trio composed of Lea Sophie Friedrich, Pauline Sophie Grabosch and Emma Hinze, Germany will be one of the big favorites for the gold medal in women's team sprint. Friedrich and Hinze will also have a strong chance of shining in individual sprint and keirin.
In endurance, we find among the selected
Mieke Kröger, Roger Kluge and
Tim Torn Teutenberg. The 22-year-old rider of Lidl-Trek Future Racing has been one of the stars of this year's U23 road season, but even more impressive are his track palmares.
European champion in all categories will be among the main favourites for the Elimination event.
