Eschborn-Frankfurt is undoubtedly a suitable course for sprinters, valid for the 183 km World Tour circuit, scheduled for Sunday 1st May.

Runners will have to run   some altitude difficulties which, however, usually fail to worry the fast wheels.

The climbs are immediately after the start: you climb the   Feldeberg   (11 kilometers at 4.8%) and then the entry into the final circuit with   Ruppertshain   (1.3 kilometers at 8.6%) e   Mammolshain   (2.3 kilometers at 8.2%) to be repeated four times. The brow of the last stretch will take place 40 kilometers from the finish.

In Frankfurt, in recent years, the group's fast wheels have often rejoiced, in particular Alexander Kristoff , winner of four consecutive editions, from 2014 to 2018. His Intermarchè Wanty Gobert will have another ace up his sleeve: Biniam Girmay returns to racing after the success in Ghent-Wevelgem before his participation in the Giro d'Italia.

The opponents are many: there is Jasper Philipsen , who won in 2021, ready to do an encore with a team, the Alpecin Fenix, all at his disposal, including Kristian Sbaragli.

Special attention goes to Arnaud De Lie (Lotto Soudal), the couple Sam Bennett-Danny Van Poppel from Bora, Fernando Gaviria from Uae Emirates, Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain Victorius), Giacomo Nizzolo (Israel), John Degenkolb and Cees Bol (Team Dsm), Hugo Hofstetter (Arkea) and Davide Cimolai (Cofidis).

For those who love to take risks, we at Fantacycling recommend a couple of surprise names and low cost: these are Pierre Barbier of BB Hotels and Marijn Van der Berg of Ef.

Among the Italians will be Andrea Vendrame (Ag2R), Niccolò Bonifazio (TotalEnergies) and Simone Consonni (Cofidis).

Remember to field your team tomorrow, fifteen minutes before the start, scheduled for 12.15.
