Analysis
Southern Germany -to be more precise, the ‘länder’ of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Rheinland-Pfalz and the small Saar, close to the border- will be the venue for the 2024 Deutschland Tour, in yet another edition after ASO took over as organisers. It features hilly courses, not too mountainous but still demanding, plus a prologue that should create some early gaps.
As it’s already usual in the Tour of Germaby, the 3km opening prologue in Schweinfurt (Wednesday 21st) will be raced with regular, road bikes. All other stages will range between 2,000 and 3,000 meters of elevation, with some tougher finishes in Heilbronn (Thursday 22nd), over the Jägerhaus climb near the finish, and a drag to the finish inside the stage two finishing circuit in and around Schwäbisch Gmünd (Friday 23rd).
The toughest stage in terms of difficulty -and the longest one, at over 210km- is day three to Villingen-Schwenningen (Saturday 24th), yet the finish is flatter. Meanwhile, the Saarbrücken showdown (Sunday 25th) is ‘up-and-down’ in the end, which should make for some interesting, potentially race-deciding moves.
