At the "Müller - Die lila Logistik Rad-Bundesliga" at the Nürburgring, Johannes Adamietz took his second Bundesliga victory of the season and Ole Theiler defended the purple leader's jersey. The REMBE® rad-net riders took two silver medals at the European Track Championships in the U23 class.
The 110 kilometre long and tough race on the legendary Nordschleife of the Nürburgring was tackled very aggressively. A leading group of seven riders, including Adamietz and his REMBE® rad-net team-mates Julian Borresch, Miguel Heidemann and Jon Knolle, broke away on the very first climb. However, the group was caught again. A leading group of around 25 riders then formed, including Adamietz again. Alexandre Kess (Lotto-Kern-Haus-PSD Bank) attacked from this group on the penultimate lap. Adamietz reacted immediately and broke away together with the Luxembourger. On the last lap, Adamietz was then able to leave Kess behind on the climb and rode the last ten kilometres to the finish alone. ‘That was really tough, because it was like a pursuit time trial,’ Adamietz admitted. "Winning the national league again means a lot to me, because I was ill before the DM and then things didn't go well at the Sibiu Tour either. That gives me a lot of self-confidence again."
Theiler is now ahead of his two team-mates Heidemann (665) and Adamietz (630) in the overall standings with 722 points. Adamietz took over the sprint jersey from his REMBE® rad-net team-mate Jonathan Rottmann, while Heidemann defended the mountain jersey. REMBE® rad-net remained ahead in the team classification after also winning the one-day team classification at the Nürburgring.
Moritz Binder, Benjamin Boos and Bruno Keßler had started the European Track Championships with silver in the team pursuit. The quartet, which was completed by Max-David Briese (PSV Rostock), was in the lead for the first three kilometres in the final for the European Championship title, at times even with a lead of around one second, but then the British turned up the heat and relegated the German national team to second place.
There was also silver in the two-man team race. Boos/Keßler were among the front runners right from the start, collecting the first points in the classification sprints. Around halfway through the race, they then managed to win a lap and thus collect 20 additional points. Despite the fact that they also gained further points after that, it was exciting right up to the final classification - and anything was still possible. In third place, Boos/Keßler finally secured the silver medal.
