The 209-kilometre (130 mi) race started in Enschede, just across the border in the Netherlands. After crossing into Germany, riders take on several hills, consisting of the two ascents each of the Coesfelder Berg and the Daruper Berg and one ascent of the Schöppinger Berg. The first of two sprint points was in Laer after 161 kilometres (100 mi), with a second sprint point 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) later near Altenberge. The last hill of the race, the Vorbergshugel, was 0.7 kilometres (0.43 mi) long with an average gradient of 4.3 percent; it crested with just under 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the finish line in Nienberge on the outskirts of Münster.[3][1]
