Germany will try to surprise at World Championship with a group of rouleurs
CyclingWednesday, 19 July 2023 at 10:00
Germany will line up to the World Championships in a role of underdogs who will try to anticipate by animating the race early on and jumping into late moves. In fact, it is difficult to imagine who will be the captain, with John Degenkolb who could bet on the sprint of a small group, while Nils Politt and Maximilian Schachmann will try to attack from afar.
Currently riding the 2023 Tour de France, Degenkolb is racing mostly in support of the captains, but if he were to regain his Paris-Roubaix legs he could become an interesting prospect.
Germany for World Championship:
John Degenkolb, Nils Politt (also ITT), Maximilian Schachmann, Jonas Rutsch, Michel Hessmann, Nico Denz and Lennard Kämna (only ITT)
John Degenkolb, Nils Politt (also ITT), Maximilian Schachmann, Jonas Rutsch, Michel Hessmann, Nico Denz and Lennard Kämna (only ITT)
Neither of the two time trialists will be part of the in the mixed relay, where Maximilian Walscheid, Miguel Heidemann and Jannik Staimle will make their appearances.

- When a guy like Madoff gets done do you spout off about all the others trying to fraud in a lesser style who didn’t really gain much from their efforts? It’s like taxes, if we’re going to pursue everyone equally we may as well never start. I’m fine that we start at the top, there’s plenty of work there. Once we’ve caught the big cheats then we can see how valuable it is going after smaller ones.Mistermaumau24-11-2024

- Yes, thank you Maria. He has a fractured skull but no pain or sequels and there should be no consequences after the small bump deflates. If anything, he is more likely to get something from the radiation he received when they “investigated” for abuse, CT scan, MRI, a dozen x-rays and he will have to have a follow up scan too. But as said, all due to childbirth, if we hadn’t noticed or worried and not taken him to emergencies, he’d have had no tests at all and instead of one to check the fracture wasn’t serious he got far more :-(Mistermaumau24-11-2024
- Obviously there is the question of enormous willpower but some injuries are extremely specific. A torn meniscus for example can function pretty well during cycling whilst making it close to impossible to go up or down stairs or walk normally.Mistermaumau24-11-2024
- First of all, I hope now all is ok with your baby!. Yeah, about to not accept foreign phone number is a big problem also for me. I have economic interests in 2 countries, I think that all can be ok with my Italian number... but NO! The world is globalized but not for bureaucracies.
