As the season ticks down, opportunities for victory become increasingly slim. At the EuroEyes Cyclassics Hamburg, Elia Viviani is the two-time defending champion and lines up to defend his title and attempt to make it a hat-trick of wins in Germany.
2016's winner Caleb Ewan leads the line for Lotto-Soudal, while Pascal Ackermann and Peter Sagan feature for Bora-Hansgrohe, the German team looking to take a win on home soil.
Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain-Merida), Arnaud Démare (Groupama-FDJ) and André Greipel (Arkéa-Samsic) also line up for the race expected to finish in its usual bunch finish, but here's the complete start list of riders who will roll out of Hamburg.
