Preview. On the 21st of May the riders continue their German calendar. It's the day the peloton takes on the Rund um Köln, a race that suits the sprinters but provides opportunity for classics riders and rouleurs to thrive on.

2700 meters of climbing will make it a tricky race to manage. Like Eschborn-Frankfurt, it's a race with a flat finale but a hilly course. This one features more ascents however, with six hilltops in the final 75 kilometers to provide a launchpad for moves. The peloton will be reduced, and it won't be easy to balance things out into a sprint in Köln.
