Tudor rider breaks Bora-Hansgrohe's dominance in Bad Dürrheim Marco Brenner (Tudor Pro Cycling Team) won the elite men’s road race at the German Championships in Bad Dürrheim after dropping breakaway companion Florian Lipowtiz (Bora-Hansgrohe) on the final climb with 7km remaining The pair were part of a five-man move that forged clear after just 20km of racing Brenner and Lipowitz rid themselves of their fellow escapees with 35km remaining and they duelled on the final lap of the course Lipowitz was riding his first race since his promising Grand Tour debut at the Giro d’Italia was cut short by illness while Kim Heiduk (Ineos) claimed bronze at 2:35 just ahead of Ben Zwiehoff (Bora-Hansgrohe) the remaining member of the decisive early break with the next chasing group coming in almost five minutes down Heiduk and Teutenberg quickly established a lead of two minutes in the break Bora-Hansgrohe were content to control affairs in the peloton Former champion Nils Politt (UAE Team Emirates) was active in trying to bridge across but he was unable to make much leeway with Bora-Hansgrohe marking him tightly and it was apparent from a long way out that the break would go the distance Brenner looked the strongman in the early move and he marked Lipowitz’s attack with 35km to go before dropping the Bora man in the run-in the 21-year-old’s victory here was another indication of his considerable potential Results powered by FirstCycling The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!

States Sowieja (pronounced So-vee-ya) had been making waves with impressive performances across Europe over the past two years He won the Triathlon Bundesliga – a prestigious German event — in both 2015 and 2016 he took first place in the 18-24 age group at the Ironman Switzerland race Sowieja was training in Savannah with a friend Savannah College of Art and Design cross country runner and fellow German Veit Hoenle This was all in hopes of earning points toward qualifying for the September 2018 Ironman World Championship in South Africa a Savannah resident who tutors and substitute teaches has been hosting Sowieja in her southside apartment and was called to the scene after the incident Weldon said that Sowieja’s training in the United States is in jeopardy due to his injury Sowieja said he did not feel well enough yet to endure a day of flying to get back to his home in Bad Dürrheim in southern Germany (the pain is) going through the leg,” Sowieja said “(The pain) is getting stronger all the time.” Weldon said that Sowieja’s story should reach drivers around Savannah who need to be more cognizant of sharing the road with cyclists “You don’t try to go around a bike; you just wait patiently,” Weldon said Sowieja added that he has experienced the issue of drivers lacking caution around cyclists in several cities throughout his extensive international training lots of car drivers don’t care about bicycle drivers,” he said “They (cyclists) risk their life every time.” His life was indeed risked and put in jeopardy on Saturday and he realized how much worse the accident could have been he is virtually immobile and his high-end racing bike is crushed His hopes are on hold — for now — of competing in next year’s Ironman World Championship A true test of a

attacks and that was the really hard part of the race You can’t be in every move yourself but one of us was always there Then in the second half of the race I think I was always on the front foot and felt quite good I just knew I had to be patient and pick and choose the times to go as everyone was looking at me a bit “One of the motorbikes with a chalkboard told me Connor Swift was coming across You don’t really want to use the other guys like that sometimes but that’s bike racing and I had to do it Connor trying to come across gave me that extra bit.” Sunday also saw a number of other
