Fabian Wegmann's assessment of stage 4
"The final stage from Halle to Magdeburg is again relatively flat, with the only uphill classification after 20 kilometres. The route leads through beautiful countryside, but there are no major mountains, so there will probably be a sprint finish. The final lap in Magdeburg with the ride over the Elbe is a bit demanding in terms of riding. There are bonus seconds to be won again at the penultimate finish, and then at the finish - as every day - ten, six and four seconds. We could have built cobblestone passages into the route, but we don't think that's part of a five-day tour. Täve Schur, who we visited during the route planning, lives nearby. He is now 93 years old and very fit: he still cycles every day. The Peace Ride Museum in Kleinmühlingen (www.friedensfahrt-museum.de) is also worth a visit. Part of the route of the professional race will also be used for the Tour of Germany's amateur race on the same day."
Hot spot: The finish area in Magdeburg city centre. There are two bonus seconds to be won, the battle for the day's victory to be seen - and you can also cheer on the amateur cyclists.
Fabian Wegmann: Sporting Director of the Deutschland Tour
Fabian Wegmann knows how difficult it is to reconcile the wishes of the riders with the requirements of a race organiser and the safety requirements. The 45-year-old from Münster, once a successful professional with the Gerolsteiner and Milram teams and three German championship titles, was involved in the planning of the route and presents the five days of racing.
