Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) prevailed in the 2.9-kilometre prologue of the 2024 Deutschland Tour in Schweinfurt, beating his teammate Mads Pedersen to take the stage win and first leader's jersey.

Riders were not allowed to use time trial bikes, so each rider completed the course in normal road bikes.
