Previously known as the Bemer Cyclassics, the ADAC Cyclassics take place in Hamburg on Sunday 17 August. 

Every year it is the question on everyone’s lips; will a breakaway group succeed or will it be a sprint finish?  After signing-in at the Hotel Atlantic and the start on the Kennedy Bridge between the Outer and Inner Alster Lakes, the Cyclassics route initially leads in a north-westerly direction through Hamburg for five neutralized kilometers before the start on Holstenkamp Passing the Volksparkstadion, the route crosses the border into Schleswig-Holstein at Schenefeld. There, after just eight kilometers, the first of three ŜKODA sprint finishes should motivate an early leading group to attack.

The race heads back into Hamburg via Tinsdal. While the route has been almost completely flat so far, the decisive climbs now await ahead of the flat final section to the finish
