MittelgebirgeClassique will lead the participants over around 40 mountain passes in the Palatinate Forest, Black Forest and in the Vosges. The route (1.100KM 23.000 HM) is mostly paved and can therefore be easily tackled by road bike, however there are some short gravel passages (about 2km). The highest passes in the Palatinate reach around 600m, in the Black Forest and the Vosges the passes rise to over 1400m.

Result: Jens Zickermann - Place: 20th - Time: 68hrs 20min.
