Soren Kragh Andersen won Eschborn-Frankfurt on Monday by outsprinting a small group who had dropped the rest of the peloton.
It was the 28-year-old’s first win since 2020 when he won two stages on the Tour de France and another on Paris-Nice.
He edged Patrick Konrad into second and Alessandro Fedeli into third when their lead group beat the peloton home by 18 seconds.
“It was an extremely difficult race with a lot of climbs. But it was the perfect race for me because I ended up with a small group and this win means a lot to me because it’s been a long time since I won,” said Andersen.
Andersen and five others escaped on a 2km long hill with an eight per cent incline halfway around the 204km course around the German financial capital.
