Nico Denz and Ricarda Bauernfeind named German cyclists of the year
CyclingThursday, 23 November 2023 at 08:30
Nico Denz, winner of two Giro d'Italia stages, was named German cyclist of the year on Tuesday. Ricarda Bauernfeind can call herself the best German cyclist of 2023 after having taken a Tour de France stage triumph.
Denz was one of the revelations of the past Giro d'Italia. The strong all-rounder from BORA-hansgrohe normally rides for the team, but turned out to be a reliable finisher during the Italian Grand tour. Denz triumphed in the twelfth stage with the finish in Rivoli and was also the strongest in the stage to Cassano Magnago two days later.
And it didn't stop there, because Denz also won a stage in the Tour of Turkey and also regularly showed up in the Vuelta a España. As icing on the cake, he was also named German cyclist of the year on Tuesday. Denz dealt with Lennard Kämna and Georg Zimmermann, among others.
The women's prize went to Ricarda Bauernfeind. The 23-year-old rider is known as one of the greatest talents in the women's peloton, which she showed this year with a fifth place in the final classification of La Vuelta Femenina. However, Bauernfeind experienced her best moment at the Tour de France Femmes, where she won the fifth stage, with the finish in Albi, after a long solo.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
