Deutschland Tor, stage 3 from Trier to Merzig, Saturday, August 25th 2018
Matej Mohorič (SLO, Bahrain Merida) wins the 3rd stage in a sprint while a mass crash happens behind his wheels.
Top Slovenian cyclist Matej Mohorič was inches away from winning the second stage at the Germany Tour yesterday. 2nd stage was leading the cyclists from Bonn to Trier. In a final sprint, Maximillian Schachmann was left with enough space to claim the stage.
This wasn't the case today since Mohorič made certain to have enough room and distance to sprint to the victory. In the end, he was a bike's length in front of Nils Politt (Katusha-Alpecin) and Pieter Vanspeybrouck (Wanty-Groupe Gobert).
Full results are available at the official Deutschland Tour website.
With the help of the bonification points, Matej Mohorič now has a lead of 6 seconds before tomorrow's last stage. Overal classification is as follows.
On Sunday, cyclists will start in Lorsch and finish German Tour in Stuttgart after 207 kilometers. It is expected that Mohorič with the help from his Bahrain Merida team will be able to keep the leader's jersey and win the tour.
Two prominent cyclists and protagonists of the Tour de France are also present in Germany, among others. Tom Dumoulin if in 4th place with 10 seconds split, while TdF winner, Geraint Thomas is enjoying his ride in the 45th position with 4:38 behind the leader.
