When will the race be decided?
The 20th edition takes the professionals on a route of around 200 kilometres from Borken to Münster. After undulating sections through the Baumberge, there are around 50 flat kilometres to the finish line in front of the castle. A sprint on the final lap is a tradition, but the decisive factor will be which teams still have their fast riders in a promising position after the climbs and are able to catch up with any breakaway group.
