German Cycling Cup: Already 3000 registrations for Köln

The first race of the inaugural German Cycling Cup will be held on Easter Monday in Köln. The cyclo event will again preceed the traditional annual pro race, and offers two distances: 100km and 65km.

According to the website of the organisation, already 3000 people have signed up for the event. The course is predominantly flat but there are also a few climbs in there, the last one going up to the Schloss Bensberg partially on cobblestones. On the 100km course, there are 920 Hm to be conquered.

Last year's winner was Nico Wernicke from Team Strassacker, who beat a peloton of nearly 100 riders in a bunch sprint.
