The 63rd edition of Eschborn-Frankfurt took place on a new, more challenging parcours in which the rider’s covered 221km around the west-German city of Frankfurt. An early five man break was controlled by the peloton before a strong group of 12 attacked on the decisive climb of Mammolshainer- this group would only just hold off the chasing peloton containing Bjorn Koerdt and Frits Biesterbos of Team Picnic-PostNL. Koerdt and Biesterbos placed just outside the top-20 on the same time as the winner, Georg Zimmerman.
