The first stage led on Wednesday, May 22nd, over 193.1 km from Pfaffenhofen adIlm to Mühldorf a.Inn . The winner was the Dane Alex Rasmussen from the Garmin Sharp team with a time of 4: 33.05 hours with a small gap ahead of the Briton Ben Swift from the Sky ProCycling team and the Spaniard Juan José Lobato del Valle from the Euskaltel Euskadi team. The best German was Gerald Ciolek from Team MTN Qhubeka in fourth. The first mountain classification in Schweitenkirchen was won by the German Grischa Janorschke from the Nutrixxion Abus team, the second mountain classification in Landshut was won by the Spaniard Javier Mejías-Leal . The two sprint ratings in Rottenburg adLaaber and Velden were won by the German Henning Bommel from the Rad-net Rose team, the last sprint rating at the second finish in Mühldorf was won by the German Grischa Janorschke from the Nutrixxion Abus team.
The 2nd stage on Thursday, May 23rd was formally the “queen stage” of the tour. It led over 192.6 km from Mühldorf to Viechtach . There were two sprint competitions in Neumarkt-St. Veit and Mamming , who won the Frenchman Christophe Riblon from the ag2r La Mondiale team and the Italian Davide Cimolai from the Lampre-Merida team, as well as two mountain classifications in St. Englmar and Nößling near Kollnburg , from which the Austrian Stefan Denifl from Team IAM Cycling and the German Nikias Arndt from the Argos-Shimano team emerged as the winners. The mountain rating in St. Englmar is the only category 1 rating on the entire 34th Bavaria Tour and marks the comparatively steep ascent to the Bavarian forest town of St. Englmar. The sprint classification at the second finish in Viechtach was won by the Brit Thomas Geraint from Team Sky ProCycling. The winner of the stage was the South African Daryl Impey from Team Orica GreenEdge with a time of 4: 41.30, who was able to overtake the German Gerald Ciolek from Team MTN Qhubeka in the last 500 meters and thus relegated to second place. Italian Adriano Malori from Team Lampre-Merida also made it onto the podium .
On the 3rd stage on Friday, May 24th, the peloton will leave the Bavarian Forest again. This section leads 196.8 km from Viechtach to Kelheim . There are two mountain classifications in Rattenberg and Wischenhofen near Duggendorf as well as two sprint classifications in Walderbach and Regenstauf in the meantime . The first mountain classification was won by the leader of the mountain classification , Stefan Denifl from Team IAM Cycling, the second by Frenchman Jérôme Cousin from Team Europcar. The French Jérôme Cousin from Team Europcar won the first sprint, the second his compatriot Blel Kadri from Team IAM Cycling. The sprint classification on the second finish was won by the German Gerald Ciolek from the MTN Qhubeka team. It was Ciolek who won the stage with a time of 5: 10.15 and relegated the French Arnaud Démare from the FDJ team and the Australian Heinrich Haussler from the IAM Cycling team to places two and three, respectively. With his stage win, Ciolek, who had already won the classic Milan – Sanremo a few weeks earlier , took the lead in the overall standings.
The 4th stage on Saturday, May 25th in and around Schierling was held as an individual time trial. At 31.2 km, this was the longest individual time trial that was ever held as part of a Bavaria Tour. On the topographically undemanding route around the market Schierling in the southern district of Regensburg , an intermediate time was taken after 18.4 km in Dünzling . The Italian Adriano Malori from the Lampre-Merida team emerged victorious from the race with a time of 38: 19.35 minutes and took the overall lead with this performance. The German Jasha Sütterlin from the Thuringian Energy Team came in second, 18.42 seconds behind, while the Czech Jan Bárta from the NetApp-Endura team came third with 19.41 seconds behind Malori.
The 5th and last stage on Sunday, May 26th was intended more as a comfortable ride. Thus, the section from Kelhelm to the destination Nuremberg was comparatively flat and only 169.8 km long. For this reason, there was only one mountain classification on the program in Riedenburg , which Frenchman Mikael Cherel from the ag2r La Mondiale team won. Afterwards, two more sprint ratings were held in Freystadt and Burgthann , both of which were won by the German Grischa Janorschke from the Nutrixxion Abus team - as was the mandatory sprint rating at the second finish in Nuremberg. The Australian Heinrich Haussler from the IAM Cycling team won the day ahead of the Spaniard Juan José Lobato del Valle from the Euskaltel Euskadi team and the Belarusian Jauheni Hutarowitsch from the ag2r La Mondiale team. In keeping with tradition, nothing changed in the overall ranking.
