Update 16:03:
The German cyclists did not win a medal in their first decision on the road at the European Championships in Munich/Fürstenfeldbruck.
The track European champions Lisa Brennauer (Durach) in twelfth place and Lisa Klein (Erfurt) in 23rd place missed the top ten in the time trial with start and finish in Fürstenfeldbruck on Wednesday.
After 24 kilometers, the 34-year-old from Brennau was 1:58.00 minutes behind European Champion Marlen Reusser from Switzerland with a time of 32:57.73 minutes.
The 26-year-old Klein was 3:36.00 minutes slower than the title holder.
World champion Ellen van Dijk from the Netherlands won silver ahead of her compatriot Riejanne Markus.
"It really didn't go that well today.
Of course, twelfth place is not at all the result I was hoping for,”
said Lisa Brennauer after the penultimate race of her career.
On the other hand, she was impressed by the atmosphere along the route.
"People carried me around the course even though my legs were so heavy," she said.
After Sunday's road race, the seven-time world champion will retire.
Lisa Klein was also not satisfied with her result.
“The race was good at the beginning.
I love time trials.
And then halfway through the race I exploded and then it was a very long way back,” she said.
She ran out of air and got stitches in the side, which she did not know about herself.
"Then nothing worked anymore," said Erfurt, who was unable to train properly in the run-up to the European Championship due to a severe corona infection.
