Franziska Koch scores first German time trial title after double road race victories

Franziska Koch (FDJ United-Suez) scored her first elite women’s time trial title at the German Road Championships on Friday, adding TT gold to her two road race victories from 2025 and 2024.

Koch, who won Paris-Roubaix Femmes earlier this year, powered round the 26.2km course in Streufdorf 26 seconds faster than second-placed Antonia Niedermaier (Canyon-SRAM) to take the victory.

Earlier in the day, Justyna Czapla (Canyon-SRAM) won the under-23 women’s TT title with a time that would have put her in the top six of the elite race, whilst Nils Politt (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) won a close-fought men’s TT.
