Cult Energy Pro Cycling were given a wildcard to participate in the German one-day classic Vattenfall Cyclassics and the Danish based team returned the favor by riding the way, they do best; aggressively and on the front. In the bunch sprint, Rasmus Guldhammer took another top result  by finishing 10th in the 20th edition of the German race.

Martin Mortensen participated in the initial breakaway and the tenaciously animating Cult Energy rider was one of the last riders to be swept up by the field with 30 kilometers to go.

In the counter-attack, Cult Energy Pro Cycling’s Linus Gerdemann went up the road and created a gap to the chasing bunch but he was caught with 10 kilometers to go. The sprint teams were doing their very best to keep the bunch in one piece but the attacks were flying from all sides throughout the entire finale. Lotto-Soudal eventually swept every single rider up before the finish.

Cult Energy Pro Cycling’s Rasmus Guldhammer delivered another good result by claiming 10th in the furious bunch sprint. André Greipel (Lotto-Soudal) won ahead of Alexander Kristoff (Katusha).

DS André Steensen was all smiles after the race:

"We always go for the win no matter what race and who the competitors are and Martin hit the right break and was riding really well out there. Unfortunately but rather expectedly, the break was caught but Martin's attempt was followed up by another powerful attack by Linus. When he was caught everyone was protecting Fabian and Rasmus preparing for the bunch sprint. Unfortunately, Fabian was stopped by the crash with two kilometers to go but Rasmus managed to follow through and took 10th. Having animated the race and finishing in the top-10, I can only be satisfied with the result and I'm fully content with the effort from the boys. Realistically, we achieved what we hoped for," concluded Steensen.
