Five riders got themselves up the road and into the breakaway on stage 2 of the 2024 Deutschland Tour. Among them, Dario Igor Belletta of Team Visma | Lease a Bike Development and best placed GC wise, Bjoern Koerdt of CC Étupes. With over 40km to go however, their day was already done. Almost as soon as the catch was completed though, a counter attack from Toms Skuijns, Archie Ryan, Kevin Vermaerke and Jorgen Nordhagen moved clear.
With just over 20km to go, the lead group was joined by a second counter attack that included Mads Pedersen, Danny van Poppel and Orluis Aular among others.

- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024

- A good analogy is germane; a bad analogy isn't. You could say the strength of an analogy can be judged by its germaneness. I thought the bank account analogy was rather germane indeed!mikebeast16-11-2024
