Cycling: Maximilian Schachmann (Bora – hansgrohe) finished the time trial from Paris – Nice in second place behind Sören Kragh Andersen (Sunweb). The German champions remain in the yellow jersey. The Berliner was even able to significantly extend his lead in the overall standings.
Schachmann starts the time trial too fast
With a strong imagination Maximilian schachmann (Bora – hansgrohe) defended the overall lead in Paris – Nice. In the time trial on the fourth stage, the German champion missed the day's victory behind the Dane Soren Kragh Andersen (Sunweb) by just six seconds. Even in the meantime, everything looked like his second stage win. But the Berliner probably started the first half a little too quickly on the 15,1-kilometer course in Saint-Amand-Montrond.
Schachmann expands his overall lead
For that could Maximilian schachmann significantly increase the distance to his pursuers. The dangerous climber Sergio Higuita (EF), for example, he lost a whopping 40 seconds. In general, the overall standings were thrown upside down by the fight against the clock. The new overall second is today's stage winner Soren Kragh Andersen before the Austrian Felix Grossschartner (Bora – hansgrohe) and the German Nils Politt (Israel Start Up Nation).
