C’est l’Irlandais Sam Bennett (Borat Argon 18), 24 ans,qui a remporté la 1ère étape de la Bayern-Rundfahrt en Allemagne (UCI 2 HC). Au terme des 221,3km, il devance le Français Nacer Bouhanni (Cof.) et l’Allemand John Degenkolb. C’est la 2ème victoire de l’Irlandais cette saison après celle obtenue sur le Tour du Qatar.
L’échappée du jour a été composée par Koch, Vorganov, Rodo Torres (Colombia), Louis Meintjes (MTN-Qhubeka) et Johannes Weber ( Struttgart). A 20 km du finish, le petit groupe possédait 1 min d’avance
Mais le peloton les a rejoint dans le final et c’est l’Irlandais Bennett qui rafle la mise avec l’étape et le général. L’Irlandais se porte très bien à moins de 2 mois du Tour de France après sa terrible chute sur le GP de Denain.
