00:00We are in Hamburg today for the 29th edition of the ADAC Cyclassic starting in Boxtehude finishing
00:07in Hamburg 205.3 kilometers. The riders rolling away but it is all about this course from Boxtehude
00:22heading in towards Hamburg. The first passage of the finish line with 105.37 kilometers to go. Then
00:32around this really interesting circuit that takes in the Wasserberg on each loop. Two loops on two
00:39circuits. The final ones come with 26.7 and 15.5 kilometers to go respectively. 700 meters in
00:47length. Average gradient of 10%. So how are the sprinters going to recover at the end of
00:55that? 122.6 kilometers and 4 minutes and 36 seconds is the time gap from our breakaway group.
01:16We get to the Wasserberg. 700 meters in length. Average gradient of 10%. And just the atmosphere
01:26around Hamburg today has just been spectacular. As you can see here with so many people out
01:33on the climb. Benjamin Tomah here taking three. Mr. Potip taking two. Lo Van Bell taking that
01:42one point. 81.8 kilometers to go here. And our breakaway group still holding two minutes and
01:54156 seconds. You can sense the pressure within the peloton here. Tomah smoothly pedaling through
02:03towards the front here. Making sure he keeps the pressure on. Benoit Cousneufois of UAE Team Emirates
02:14XRG. So the Frenchman really ripping it up here. Let's see how much damage that might have done
02:22there. There's the peloton there in the background. They're still not that far away. We'll see if
02:33they sense that they could springboard something across here. Looks around. It does mean that gap
02:47to our breakaway now. Minute and 30 seconds. One lap to go this time.
02:58One minute and 40. I mean this is going to be a tough, tough task for this breakaway group
03:05to stay away. The gap down to a minute. So that last acceleration by the peloton has taken
03:17a chunk now out of the gap. Benjamin Tomah now makes a last ditch effort to try and go solo
03:30in this one.
03:32Also wants some more points in the King of the Mountains.
03:4348 seconds. The peloton works super hard to bring them back.
04:02Torma wants to be the last rider standing. Izak del Toro is going to go after him. This is where
04:09you can make the difference as well through this really technical section if they just keep the pressure on here.
04:22We run back in towards Hamburg. 10 kilometers to go and Izak del Toro is going to keep the pressure
04:30on on the front.
04:3120 seconds to go.
04:35Manyay poised and ready Kubic is there. We've got the colours

06:44Every single rider worked really hard and in the final,
06:47the team really put me in the perfect position and I could make a really good sprint.
06:53Then I think I can really thank the whole Sudau Quick Step team
06:56and I'm really proud to win here.
07:02Paul Manje takes his first World Tour one-day victory in the Hamburg side classic.
