Informal Take:
Tim Torn Teutenberg Takes the Track in Erfurt
Time's a-changin' in cycling, and even world champs like Tim Torn Teutenberg, who snagged gold in the Madison with Roger Kluge at the World Champs in Copenhagen last October, are making first-timer appearances. Teutenberg's setting his sights on the Erfurt velodrome in Andreasried, taking a whirl at the German Championships this Friday (starting at 3 pm) and Saturday (starting at 12 pm). He's a strong contender in the Derny competitions, with race director Jörg Werner calling him a prominent participant in the title fights.
The champion's colleague, Jörg Werner, highlights the incredible presence of Tim Teutenberg in Erfurt for the Derny Championships, noting it as a significant event. The final races on Saturday will be streamed live on our online portal. Besides the championships, the European Championships are set to roll in on September 5th and 6th – another event not to miss!
Tim's moved onto the professional team Lidl-Trek for the new season and has already picked up four podium finishes on the road this spring. Yet, the Cologne native's got his eye on the track and is proving it by participating in Erfurt. A win here wouldn't be his first big German milestone.

Fun cycling fact – Tim's from a cycling dynasty. His uncle Sven once raced in the Tour de France. His father and aunt left a lasting impact in Thuringia, with Lars Teutenberg capturing the Thuringia Tour overall title in 1998, and Ina-Yoko achieving the same feat in the women's race just two years earlier.
It's not just the Derny event that'll dish out the hardware; Romy Kasper's the frontrunner for the women's title in the event. As for the Steherrennen, two local heroes from RSC Turbine Erfurt are gunning for glory. Franz Schiewer, European champ in 2017 and 2018, returned to the Andreasried oval last year. Daniel Harnisch, holder of the German champ titles in 2020 and 2022, has some special races of his own, as his pace man, Gerd Gessler, is retiring after these championships.
