  Stage 1 Kiel Prologue
  Former winners of the prologue Otto Ådahl, Alton Gilroy and Hermano Montenegro will be trying to grab once again that first yellow jersey of this Germany Tour. However, the much-desired yellow jersey attracts more riders who will want to claim the win.
  *** Hermano Montenegro
  ** Barclay Moring, Otto Ådahl
  * Ralph Pender, Alton Gilroy, Safwan Seif, Richard Masson, Iwo Soko?owski, Kimball Lascomb, Graham Gallacher
  
  Stage 2 Kiel – Bremen
  The sprinters are coming in action for their first clash. The teams that won the SC the last ten seasons are not present in this Germany Tour, so a new team can write some history winning the Green Jersey.
  *** Alípio Almada
  ** Baldwin Matthys, Khangai Oyunbileg, Genadi Asparuhov
  * Ivan Plank, Lieuwe Oosterhof, Isaac Houston, Mateo Dorantes, Fabio Borges
  
  Stage 3 Bielefeld – Cologne
  Yet another sprint, but now with much more demanding flat roads and wind and lesser technique needed.
  *** Alípio Almada
  ** Khangai Oyunbileg, Baldwin Matthys, Isaac Houston
  * Fabio Borges, Markus Vik, Lieuwe Oosterhof, Ivan Demenok, Iwo Soko?owski
  
  Stage 4 Cologne - Frankfurt am

Main
  The first stage where the GC guys will have to be on their guards. Not the real high mountains, but the terrain is treacherous.
  *** Maurio Ingiro
  ** Jedsada Pituwong, Rashad Abdul-Karim, Sem van Kelf
  * Brian Baisden, Skyler Popken, Gavril Ciugarin, Duncan Cutress, Daniele Gatto
  
  Stage 5 Frankfurt am Main – Heidelberg
  The finish in Heidelberg will be a clash between the hill sprinters in the peloton. Ivan Demenok won this stage two seasons ago.
  *** Isaac Houston, Ivan Demenok, Jannic Junger
  ** Alípio Almada, Genadi Asparuhov, Montgomery Saint-john
  * Ivan Plank, Paulus Shiwak, Baldwin Matthys, Lieuwe Oosterhof
  
  Stage 6 Heidelberg – Freiburg
  This climbing stage will force the biggest time differences up until now. The real climbers will want to take some advantage of the better time trialists. A couple of former winners of this stage are present: Baisden, Abdul-Karim and Perk.
  *** Jedsada Pituwong, Brian Baisden
  ** Heinrich Löwe, Daniele Gatto, Maurio Ingiro
  * Jim Luysen, Gavril Ciugarin, Skyler Popken, Duncan Cutress
  
  
  Stage 7 Munich (ITT)
  The time trial is often very decisive for the GT, but for the win in the stage, the real specialist will go all the way

to win this prestigious time trial. For the GC guys Brian Baisden and Duncan Cutress seem to have the best capacity for a good result.
  *** Hermano Montenegro, Barclay Moring
  ** Otto Ådahl, Alton Gilroy, Ralph Pender, Richard Masson
  * Safwan Seif, Kimball Lascomb, Iwo Soko?owski
  
  Stage 8 Munich - Kempten
  The king stage features long climbs and possible decisive descents. It is the last chance for the climbers to win time in the GC.
  *** Brian Baisden, Alexander Nyegård
  ** Daniele Gatto, Gavril Ciugarin, Heinrich Löwe
  * Maurio Ingiro, Gitano Ontclair, Jim Luysen, Skyler Popken

  ** Jannic Junger, Lieuwe Oosterhof, Isaac Houston
  * Khangai Oyunbileg, Montgomery Saint-john, Ivan Plank, Baldwin Matthys, Alípio Almada
  
  Stage 10 Potsdam – Berlin
  The final stage of the tour is a sprint stage. A chance for some teams to save the tour and the SC will come to a decision.
