The Belgian Tim Merlier (Corendon Circus) wins ahead of the Norwegian Hermann Dahl (Team Joker). The hourly average over 46 km / h! Jannik Steimle was today a little too early in the “wind” and finished on rank 13. Steimle’s teammates around Patrick Schelling and Roland Thalmann came in time with the winner to the finishline!
Tomorrow’s second stage over 143 kilometers reveals several climbs, plus the final climb to the finish after La Planche des Belles Filles. Quite to the taste of some Team Vorarlberg Santic Cracks!
