Geschke, who wants to end his career next year, had surprisingly worn the mountain jersey for nine days at the Tour of France 2022. Shortly before Paris, however, he had to relinquish the lead to the eventual Tour winner Jonas Vingegaard. In the spring, Geschke was set back by a coronavirus illness. In the road race for the German championships at the weekend, the mountain specialist crossed the finish line in ninth place.
Seven German Tour de France participants known so far
Seven German Tour participants have been announced so far. On Sunday, Bahrain-Victorious announced the participation of German pros Nikias Arndt and Phil Bauhaus. Gino Mäder, who died in an accident just over a week ago, had belonged to this cycling team. A few days before his death, the Swiss professional cyclist had raised hopes of making his debut in the tour in an interview.
The Germans John Degenkolb (Team DSM-Firmenich), Georg Zimmermann (Intermarche-Circus-Wanty) as well as Nils Politt and Emanuel Buchmann from Team Bora-Hansgrohe will also be at the start.
