Eight podiums and a strong block in Germany
The German Bahnen-Tournee marked a strong and consistent performance across five race days, with the team collecting a total of eight UCI podium finishes and delivering competitive rides from start to finish.
Across all venues, the riders showed depth, resilience and a clear ability to perform at a high international level throughout a demanding racing block in the heat of Germany.
The tour opened in Öschelbronn with an immediate highlight, as Rasmus Lund powered to victory in the men’s C2 points race. Kieran Riley also impressed on day one, crossing the line first in the men’s elimination race after a tactically strong ride, ultimately being classified 2nd following a jury decision. The day was rounded off with an aggressive and solid team performance in the Madison, where the pair finished 4th, just one point shy of the podium.
Momentum continued into the following rounds in Oberhausen, Dudenhofen and Darmstadt, where the team repeatedly featured in the top ranks across multiple disciplines. Rasmus Lund secured 2nd place in the C1 Omnium in Oberhausen and followed up with another 2nd place in the C1 scratch race in Dudenhofen, along with a 3rd place in the C2 points race in Darmstadt. Michelle Andres added further podium strength with a 2nd place in the C1 Madison in Dudenhofen and two additional 3rd places in the C2 Omnium in Oberhausen and the C1 scratch race in Darmstadt.
Kieran Riley added another strong result with a 2nd place in the C2 elimination race in Öschelbronn, underlining his consistency throughout the opening days of the tour. Meanwhile, Astrid Bjørn Sørensen achieved a personal milestone with her first-ever top-8 finish in a C1 Omnium, marking an important step forward in her development at international level.
Across the five race days, the team’s combined results reflect a total of eight UCI podium finishes and a strong collective performance across all events and disciplines.
