The 61st edition of this classic German race is held in and to the north west of Frankfurt. It compromises multiple laps of a series of loops around the outskirts of the city. Dominated by two climbs, the first of which is the 11km Feldberg, set on an average gradient of 4.8%, and that is followed 50km later by twin ascents of the shorter but much steeper 2.3km Mammolshain climb.
After, this the race returns once more to the slopes of the Feldberg before a final ascent of the Mammolshain some 40km from the finish line. This large distance to the end should allow gapped riders to re-join the front of the race and form a small group to fight out a sprint finish.
The key protagonists this year are going to be March Hirschi (UAE Team Emirates), Maximilian Schachmann and Emil Herzog both (BORA - hansgrohe), Mathias Vacek (Lidl - Trek) and Laurenz Rex (Intermarché - Wanty).
Spring has arrived in Europe at last, just as the spring classics end, with 21 degrees and clear skies expected for the race.

Simon Warren has been obsessed with cycling since the summer of 1989 after watching Greg Lemond battle Laurent Fignon in the Tour de France. Although not having what it took to beat the best, he found his forte was racing up hills and so began his fascination with steep roads. This resulted in his 2010’s best-selling 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs, followed to date by 14 more guides to vertical pain. Covering the British Isles, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain he has been riding and racing up hills and mountains for over 30 years now. He hosts talks, guides rides, has written columns for magazines and in 2020 released his first book of cycling routes, RIDE BRITAIN. Simon splits his time between working as a graphic designer and running his 100 Climbs brand and lives in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District with his wife and two children.
