Eschborn-Frankfurt starts on 1 May 2026 with 21 teams, including 16 WorldTour teams. The route leads over 211.4 kilometres and more than 3,300 metres in altitude through the Taunus. Nils Politt, John Degenkolb, Julian Alaphilippe, Søren Kragh Andersen and Magnus Cort Nielsen are among the favourites. The newly integrated Burgweg in Schmitten-Niederreifenberg, two Feldberg climbs on the south-west side and the modified Taunus Passage with the Mammolshainer Stich will make the profile even tougher. Unibet Rose Rockets and TotalEnergies receive wildcards.
