The Belgian precedes Aranburu and Sheehan
Maxim Van Gils (Lotto Dstny) wins the Eschborn-Frankfurt, a 201.5 km German category 5 race.
The race comes alive during the second passage over the Feldberg with several riders trying to gain an advantage, including Rafferty, Healy and Buchmann; However, no one manages to make a difference, but the main group, reduced to around forty units, is highly selective.
On Mammolshain, the last challenge of the day, Christen tries to go alone, managing to accumulate around a 20" margin over the group of fifteen riders behind her.
The Swiss's action ends only two kilometers from the finish line. The final sprint comes from Maxim Van Gils who manages to come back and exit at the perfect moment, without the help of his teammates. Behind him are Aranburu and Sheehan .
