REMBE® rad-net wants a say in home races – women compete for the Bundesliga overall title

The next highlight of the season is on the agenda for Team REMBE® rad-net: the Sauerland Tour is making its debut as a UCI Category 2.2 race, and the team is determined to make its mark on its home race.

In addition, the riders from REMBE® rad-net women will be competing in the Bundesliga final in Bad Dürrheim, where they have an excellent chance of securing overall victory. Another part of the team will be competing in the Flanders Tomorrow Tour (UCI 2.2U) in the Netherlands.
The Sauerland Tour runs over four days. It kicks off with a 13.5-kilometre individual time trial in Brilon. The second stage runs from Brilon to Siedlinghausen. The third stage takes place on the circuit around Wenholthausen, already familiar from the German Mountain Championships and the Cycling Bundesliga. The final stage starts in Arnsberg and finishes on the Kahler Asten. Another highlight of the final stage is the infamous Hirschberger Wand, with gradients of up to 34 per cent.

“We want to have our say both in the stages and in the general classification,” says Fabian Peplau, sporting director at REMBE® rad-net, which will be fielding, amongst others, Miguel Heidemann, winner of the mountains’ jersey at the Tour of Germany. “A home race is always something special and we want to give something back to our fans. The route offers selective stages where we’ll be looking for our chances. Even though the competition is strong, we’re not just taking part for the sake of it. Numerous well-known teams have announced their participation for this tour’s debut, including development squads from various WorldTour teams and all the German Continental teams.

The women’s “Müller – Die lila Logistik Rad-Bundesliga” comes to an end this coming weekend with the three Riderman races in Bad Dürrheim. In the overall standings, Team REMBE® rad-net women, with Katharina Palm, Aileen Schweikart and Franziska Brauße, have three riders right at the top. “With three riders right at the front, we’re heading into the Bundesliga finale brimming with confidence. The goal for the final three races is clear: to defend our lead and secure overall victory in both the individual and team classifications,” said Sebastian Venkter, sporting director at REMBE® rad-net women.

The action kicks off on Friday with a 16-kilometre time trial. On Saturday, the route covers 103 kilometres, during which the German Mountain Championship will also be contested. On Sunday, another 95 kilometres are on the programme, which also take the riders through mountainous terrain.

The Flanders Tomorrow Tour in Belgium also gets underway on Friday. Pepe Albrecht, Moritz Binder, Paul-Felix Petry and the rest of the team are aiming for good results there. “But the international comparison in the U23 category is also important,” says Ralf Grabsch, sporting director of Team REMBE® rad-net. Four stages must be completed over the three days. Right on the first day, the programme features an individual time trial and another stage, followed by two further stages on Saturday and Sunday. The wind is also likely to play a role on all stages.
