The race, marked by its iconic climbs of the Waseberg, proved particularly challenging this year. The riders had to face the steep ascent five times, pushing the whole peloton to its limits.
"Hamburg is a really special race and a very difficult one. Especially this year, as we had to tackle the Waseberg 5 times. The breakaway was really strong today and unfortunately we didn’t manage to get in there. At least we still managed to get back to them. It is always a pity to finish in second. But it is only my second race back after the Tour de France. It’s always a bit experimenting how your body reacts after such a grand tour but I can be satisfied with how my legs were feeling today", Arnaud De Lie reflects on today's race.
