Stage 2 - May 5: Bad Berka - Bad Frankenhausen, 90 km

Australian team report

By Brian Stephens, AIS U23 coach

Today was a split stage of the Thüringen Rundfahrt with an 89 km road stage in the morning and a 12km mountain time trial in the afternoon. Rory Sutherland went after the mountain sprints in the morning stage and was 2nd in the first cat 2 climb. He didn't place in the following one which was enough to retain the jersey.

The race split over the first climb when the bunch went immediately into cross winds. Rory was the only one of ours to make the front group of 46 riders which came in together with the sprint being won by Mickail Timochine from Vellutex.
