Breschel leads Tinkoff-Saxo in Hamburg

Tinkoff-Saxo is looking to buck the odds in a mass sprint finish in the Vattenfall Cyclassics in Hamburg on Sunday, and is naming Matti Breschel as its man for the win.

“We don’t have a pure sprinter here to go toe-to-toe with the likes of Kristoff, Cavendish, Greipel and Kittel but we have to play our cards right and create our chances,” said sports director Nicki Sørensen. “We will support Matti Breschel fully, he’s a pretty obvious choice with the shape he has shown during the past weeks.”

The Dane was injured in a training accident in June. Most recently he won two stages at the Post Danmark Rundt.

The team is also sending Michael Mørkøv, Michael Rogers, Michael Valgren, Nikolay Trusov, Manuele Boaro, Michael Kolar and Evgeny Petrov.
