Winterberg in the Sauerland hosts the Deutschland Tour 2023
March 23rd, 2023
The Sauerland region marks the halfway point of this year's Deutschland Tour. Winterberg completes the list of stage destinations in 2023. A challenging 2nd stage will come to an end in Winterberg on August 25. The route in the Sauerland is particularly suitable for the aggressive classic riders.
After the first two days of racing in the Saarland with many challenges, the highest point of the tour awaits in the Sauerland during the 2nd stage. The German pros in the peloton can show off their knowledge of the route on August 25. They were guests here at the last German Championships. Nils Politt, winner of the 2021 Deutschland Tour, won his first champion's jersey back then.
In the last third of the 2nd stage to Winterberg, it becomes more and more demanding for the pros. At the latest on the finish lap through Winterberg, the finale is opened. The route passes the 'Kappe' adventure mountain as well as the bobsled run. Also, the 'Kahle Asten' casts its eye over the pros. A final climb, which ends just two kilometers before the finish, invites late attacks once again. In the shadow of Winterberg's landmark, the St. Georg ski jump, the day's winner is determined.
Bremen ist Gastgeber des großen Finales der Deutschland Tour 2023
February 2nd, 2023
On August 27, fans can look forward to a particularly exciting conclusion to the five-day Deutschland Tour: Bremen's Überseestadt will be the backdrop for a Sprint Royal of the world's best cyclists. Before the professionals race for the overall victory of the Deutschland Tour, thousands of amateur athletes* will already be on their racing bikes in and around Bremen.
For the first time, the new Deutschland Tour comes to the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen. This means that Germany's most important cycling race has already visited 11 of the 16 federal states since its relaunch. In Bremen, the Deutschland Tour meets a cycling enthusiast region. The Hanseatic city is the most bicycle-friendly major city in Germany: twice as many bicycles as cars are on the road here every day, and Bremen is considered the German birthplace of the bicycle road. So on August 27, the Deutschland Tour with its diverse hands-on program will be part of Bremen's cycling campaign: Bike It!
Sprint finale in Überseestadt
The finish area of the Deutschland Tour is planned in Bremen's Überseestadt. Coming from the Mittelweser region, the pros will enter the city area via the Carl-Carstens-Brücke and pass the Weserstadion and Bremen's old town shortly before the finish. One of the Deutschland Tour traditions is that spectators can enjoy the spectacle several times: A finishing lap takes the pros through the Bremen scenery three times. It is the preparation for the crowning finale of the Deutschland Tour 2023, because the long finishing straight of 750 meters is made for a sprint royal.
