Riderman – Zeitfahren der 1. Etappe

The Friday opener of the 2026 edition was a 16.1 km individual time trial from Bad Dürrheim with 226 m of climbing. It is a short, sharp test that sets the order before the road stages.

The only categorised climb came very early, at km 1.1, where the Bergwertung (KOM) topped out at 772 m. After that it was a matter of pacing the rolling Black Forest plateau roads alone against the clock, with no drafting and no hiding place. Riders who go out too hard on the opening rise tend to pay for it in the closing kilometres.

Official GPX and a road book were published by the organiser for 2026, and day starters could not enter this stage. Treat the figures as 2026 data until the 2027 route is announced.
