World champion Tony Martin put more than a minute into his nearest competitors en route to his second career German time trial title. The Omega Pharma-Quickstep rider averaged 51.54km/h on the  40.68km/h course, beating teammate Bert Grabsch by 1:26.

Lars Teutenberg mirrored his sister Ina's result, taking third with a time of 49:15, nearly two minutes behind Martin.

"I'm really happy about my race," Martin said. "Today I was looking for a good result, and a good performance, and I got both. It's important even for the confidence prior to the Tour de France. It was a good test in function for an important event such as the Olympics. It was nice to win in front of my friends and my family, It was great. Even Bert did a great race. Tomorrow I'll go home, I will recover, and I will focus on the last training sessions before the Tour."
