However, it was allowed to take part in the tour as a ProTour team.
The most successful team on the tour was Team Columbia , which was able to record a total of four stage wins. In addition, two Columbia riders, Linus Gerdemann and Thomas Lövkvist, also won the overall, sprint and junior rankings. Nevertheless, it was not Columbia, but the Scott-American Beef team that won the team championship, and David de la Fuente also brought it a stage win. Other teams with stage wins were the Milram , Liquigas , Française des Jeux and Cofidis teams .

The prologue, which is comparatively short at 3.6 kilometers, started at Schwarzsee and, after driving through the old town, led the drivers to the valley station of the Hahnenkammbahn . Mark Renshaw (Crédit Agricole) held the lead for a long time, but after more than an hour in the lead he was separated from Brett Lancaster (Milram) by several seconds . His time also seemed to be in jeopardy, but Tony Martin (Columbia) lost a few seconds in a fall and missed the lead after setting an interim fastest time.
Subsequently, Gerald Ciolek (Columbia, 1.79 seconds behind) and the Olympic runner-up from Beijing, Gustav Larsson (CSC, 0.1 seconds behind) failed to oust Lancaster. Co-favorite Linus Gerdemann (Columbia) finished seventh, the last defending champion Jens Voigt (CSC) only 51.
So Brett Lancaster won ahead of Gustav Larsson and Gerald Ciolek. Lancaster therefore took the lead in the points classification. Ciolek was the best driver in the junior class.

The first stage was a 178 km long mountain stage. It led from Kitzbühel over the Thurn Pass and the Gerlos Pass to Hochfügen . Linus Gerdemann (Team Columbia) was able to pull away in the final climb. Despite technical problems with the gear shift, he won ahead of his teammate Thomas Lövkvist and Astana driver Janez Brajkovič. This duo was 16 seconds behind Gerdemann. Jens Voigt had a time gap of 8:44 minutes.
Daniel Musiol (Volksbank) took the lead in the mountain classification . He drove together with Kasper Klostergård (CSC), Dominik Roels (Milram) and Jérémy Roy (Française des Jeux) in the escape group. Their lead grew to eight minutes. Musiol was also honored as the most active driver.

The second part of the day of the Germany tour led the riders from the Bavarian capital Munich to the Hesselberg in Middle Franconia . Four drivers formed the escape group: Bernhard Kohl (Gerolsteiner), Kasper Klostergård (CSC), Yoann Le Boulanger (Française des Jeux) and Markel Irízar (Euskaltel). Their maximum lead was barely more than two minutes. The outliers were caught about six kilometers from the finish.
On the final climb of the third category, Johan Vansummeren (Silence-Lotto) attacked first. Also, Christophe Le Mevel (Crédit Agricole) and Rigoberto Urán (Caisse d'Epargne) attacked. But none of them succeeded. Only when David de la Fuente took over was successful. This was his first win of the season. The Spaniard won by two seconds over a group of five drivers, including the top four in the overall standings. Klostergård became the most active driver.
At least on the first part of the route from Munich to Augsburg there was a permanent tailwind.
3rd stage: Herrieden – Wiesloch

The 195 km long third stage led from Herrieden in the district of Ansbach in central Franconia via the L 2247 to Wallhausen, the B 290 to Rot am See , L 1033 to Gerabronn , Langenburg , Laßbach and Mäusdorf to Künzelsau , the L 1045 from Ingelfingen and Niedernhall to Weißbach , via the L 1050 to Jagsthausen , the L 1025 to Möckmühl and from there to the intermediate spurt in Mosbach over the inclines to Aglasterhausen and to the Königstuhl . From there it was another 23 kilometers to the finish in Wiesloch . The last intermediate sprint was in Heidelberg .
The first successful attack was made - after about ten kilometers driven - Christian Knees (Milram) and Johannes Fröhlinger (Gerolsteiner), who were both more than five minutes behind in the overall standings. However, their maximum lead of 7:40 minutes was not enough. During the ascent of the second category to the Königstuhl, they were caught up again by a group of ten around overall leader Linus Gerdemann (Columbia). This group drove together across the Königstuhl.
On the descent, Daniel Navarro (Astana), Leonardo Bertagnolli (Liquigas) and Jussi Veikkanen (Française des Jeux) attacked. The latter fell back due to a defect. Several more unsuccessful breakaway attempts increased the pace, so that the duo's lead of 35 seconds shrank to 11 seconds two kilometers from the finish. Bertagnolli was finally able to win the stage. His victory was revoked in 2014 because of doping . On the finish line, he no longer had a lead and was rated at the same time as the group of pursuers that had grown in the meantime. Daniel Navarro even fell back to sixth place.
The eleventh overall Markus Fothen (Gerolsteiner) fell on the rain-soaked descent and crossed the finish line 38 seconds behind the winner. Even the mountain classification in the second category on the Königstuhl did not cost Daniel Musiol (Volksbank) his lead in the mountain classification , he was now leading with 17 points. In the overall standings, the top ranks did not change either, as all favorites crossed the finish line with the top group. Only in the sprint classification was there another leader, Thomas Lövkvist (Columbia) took over the sprint jersey from team mate Gerdemann with his third place. Christian Knees was recognized as the most active driver.
4th stage: Wiesloch – Mainz

The profile of the fourth stage was flat. There were only two mountain ratings in the third category in Neuleiningen and Eisenberg during the 174 kilometers from Wiesloch to the Rhineland-Palatinate state capital Mainz .
Thomas Voeckler (Bouygues Télécom) and Tom Stubbe (Française des Jeux) started a breakaway attempt after about 75 kilometers. Their maximum lead was 6:30 minutes. Seven kilometers from the finish, the peloton caught up with them again - it came to a mass sprint. After preliminary work by Gerald Ciolek, André Greipel was able to prevail over Robbie McEwen. The leaders of the ratings did not change. Thomas Voeckler (Bouygues Télécom) was honored as the most active driver.
5th stage: Mainz – Winterberg

2 | Rubens Bertogliati | SDV | + 0:00 min | |

5 | Johannes Fröhlinger | GST | + 0:00 min |
The 218 km long low mountain range was the longest part of the day of the Germany tour 2008. It took the riders from Mainz through the Rothaar Mountains to Winterberg . First, a sextet around Gustav Larsson (CSC), Héctor González (Scott), Mario Aerts (Lotto), Pieter Weening (Rabobank), David López García (Caisse d'Epargne) and Amaël Moinard (Cofidis) stood out, the maximum advantage of about 4:30 minutes in the middle of the race, however, melted down quickly. Gustav Larsson and Pieter Weening won the first two sprint classifications, while Larsson won the first mountain classification on the Homberg .
The descent from this third category mountain classification divided the leading group, so that Gustav Larsson was able to pull away on his own and won the third sprint classification. The four pursuers, Gonzalez had to let go in the meantime, quickly lost over 1:30 minutes to Larsson and were finally overtaken by the field. Many unsuccessful attacks were made there, which increased the racing pace, which was slow at the beginning due to the heavy rain.
Almost 20 kilometers from the finish, Larsson was also swallowed by the field, when Peter Velits (Milram) and Kjell Carlström (Liquigas) were next to attack , they too were caught a few kilometers from the finish. The Columbia team with the yellow jersey, Linus Gerdemann , was represented by four in the leading group shortly before the final climb in Winterberg, and Gerald Ciolek was also the last sprinter to keep up with the favorites. Since no attempt to break away was successful in the end, Ciolek was able to win the stage after an early start, Rubens Bertogliati (Scott) came second .
Nothing changed in the overall standings, as all the top drivers were represented in the first group. In the sprint and junior class, the leader was still Thomas Lövkvist . Daniel Musiol was also able to defend the lead in the mountain classification with a five point lead. The most active driver was Gustav Larsson.
6th stage: Bad Fredeburg – Neuss
Jussi Veikkanen | FDJ | 4:17:22 h | ||
2 | Maxim Iglinski | AST | + 0:00 min | |
3 | Thierry Hupond | SKS | + 0:00 min | |
4th | Pablo Lastras | GCE | + 0:00 min | |
5 | Rémi Pauriol | CA | + 0:00 min |
The 6th stage began in Schmallenberg in the Sauerland in the Bad Fredeburg district and led over 189 km to Neuss . In the flat profile, only two mountain ratings in the third category were planned, plus three sprint ratings in Sundern , Radevormwald and Monheim .
Early attacks were unsuccessful, so that the field drove closed over the first sprint classification at 42 kilometers driven. Shortly afterwards, a group of eleven attacked, but the best-placed driver in the overall standings, Jussi Veikkanen (Française des Jeux), was already 5:30 minutes behind. After the top, to which the German Matthias Russ (Gerolsteiner) and the Swiss David Loosli (Lampre) belonged, led with two and a half minutes at race kilometer 70, defending champion Jens Voigt (Team CSC) tried to make the connection. Although he was only a minute behind, he failed to merge and dropped back into the field.
The lead of the leading group remained constant at around three minutes for a few kilometers, but by increasing the pace of the sprinter teams in the main field it shrank to around 1:30 minutes with twenty kilometers from the finish. Since it did not decrease any further afterwards, two teams stopped their leadership work in the field, so that the Elfer group went with a clear lead on the final kilometers. In the sprint of the top group, the Finn Jussi Veikkanen finally prevailed ahead of Maxim Iglinski from Kazakhstan, two minutes later the field with all the favorites crossed the finish line.
In the overall standings as well as in the other ratings, the top positions did not change, as the mountain and sprint points were won by drivers who were far behind in the respective overall standings. Third- placed French driver Thierry Hupond (Skil-Shimano) was recognized as the most active driver .
7th stage: Neuss – Georgsmarienhütte
Stéphane Augé | COF | 4:45:33 h | ||
2 | Thierry Hupond | SKS | + 0:00 min | |
3 | Mauro Da Dalto | LIQ | + 0:00 min | |

5 | Christian Knees | MRM | + 0:00 min |
The 7th section led over 214 km from Neuss to Georgsmarienhütte in Lower Saxony. On the flat profile, only two climbs in the third category had to be mastered, both of which came on early race kilometers and so did not have a decisive effect on the race.
As on the previous day, a group of eleven settled down, which formed at about 30 kilometers. Among them were defending champion Jens Voigt (CSC), who was already far behind in the overall standings, as well as several prominent drivers such as Thomas Voeckler (Bouygues Télécom) and Christian Knees (Milram). However, all eleven drivers were already far behind in the overall standings and therefore posed no threat to Linus Gerdemann (Columbia) in the yellow jersey. Therefore, the lead grew quickly and after 40 kilometers of racing was almost three minutes.
After 71 kilometers, the first mountain points of the stage were awarded. Because only Gerdemann and Thomas Lövkvist (both Columbia) could have ousted Daniel Musiol (Volksbank) from the top of the mountain classification and neither of them collected any points in the first classification, Musiol was decided ahead of time as the winner of the mountain classification. After that, the group led by Voigt remained constant at four to five minutes.
Despite the Columbia team increasing the pace with sprinter Gerald Ciolek and the Quick Step team, not enough time could be made up, so that the lead 15 kilometers from the finish was almost two minutes. As a result, all attacks from the leading group were unsuccessful, in the finish sprint the Frenchman Stéphane Augé (Cofidis) finally won ahead of Thierry Hupond (Skil-Shimano), who was honored as the most active driver in the sixth stage.
The field with all favorites crossed the finish line 3:54 minutes behind, which is why there was no change in the overall standings or in the sprint and junior class, where Thomas Lövkvist remains the leader. For the sprinters there was only one real mass sprint during the entire tour, and Gerald Ciolek won once as the last remaining sprint driver. In the team classification, the Liquigas team took the lead, as it was represented by one driver in the top group. Jens Voigt, who finished sixth, was named the most active driver.
8th stage: Bremen
Tony Martin | THR | 39:50 min | ||
2 | Bert Grabsch | THR | + 0:34 min | |

For the finale of the 10th Germany tour, a 34 km long individual time trial took place in Bremen . This led back to the starting point in a circular course from the town hall in Bremen (then officially AWD Dome ) via Kuhsiel, Wümmedeich, Ritterhuder Heerstraße and Hafenrandstraße.
It was started in the reverse order in the overall classification, so that the German Markus Eichler (Milram) opened the race in 122nd place. At first, the best times at the finish and in the two intermediate times changed frequently before Bert Grabsch (Columbia) set the first clear mark. Several favorites missed Grabs time, only his team-mate Tony Martin was able to push him from the front. Subsequently, Gustav Larsson (CSC), who placed third, as well as László Bodrogi (Crédit Agricole) failed to set the fastest time, the latter having a hard crash on the wet road and had to end the race.
Since the rain did not set in until after Grabs and partly also Martin had completed their race, both benefited from the fact that the competitors now had to drive more carefully. Last year's winners Jens Voigt (CSC) and Markus Fothen (Gerolsteiner) also missed their last chance on a podium.
Before the top ten drivers took to the track, the road surface had partially dried up again, but the times remained slower. Both the runner-up Thomas Lövkvist and the leader Linus Gerdemann (both Columbia) started well and were able to distance the Slovenian Janez Brajkovič (Astana). In the end Gerdemann drove faster than Lövkvist and due to his fall a few kilometers from the finish, he had a lead of almost a minute in the end and drove the race at a moderate pace to avoid falling. Gerdemann was fourth, Lövkvist sixth.
Tony Martin won the time trial ahead of Bert Grabsch, and there was also a double triumph for Columbia in the overall standings, as Gerdemann won ahead of Lövkvist. Lövkvist, on the other hand, won the points and the junior ranking. Daniel Musiol (Volksbank) had already won the mountain classification the day before .
