Franziska Koch<\/a> (FDJ United-Suez) made it three in a row in the road race at the German Road Championships<\/a>, after scoring her first women’s time trial title<\/a> yesterday in Bad Liebenstein.<\/p>\n

In a similar scenario to her two previous victories, Koch came out on top from a five-rider breakaway, which included Liane Lippert (Movistar), Nele Laing and the Canyon-SRAM duo of Antonia Niedermaier and Justina Czapla.<\/p>\n

Three-time champion Lippert (2018, 2022, 2023) launched the sprint first, but Koch powered past her to claim the win, with Lippert settling for second as she did in 2024. Newly crowned German U23 road champion, Czapla, after going on a solo break of almost 65 kilometres before being caught in the final lap, took third.<\/p>\n

Runner-up last year, Niedermaier finished fifth. Crossing the line 1:41 later, Linda Riedmann (Lotto-Intermarch\u00e9 Ladies) led the peloton in for sixth place.<\/p>\n

In hot temperatures, close to 37 \u00b0C, the women faced a shortened course, from 136.5km to 109km, after their start was delayed by one hour due to a fall in the men\u2019s junior race held earlier in the day. The women raced the 27.3km circuit with around 550 metres of elevation gain per lap four times.<\/p>\n
