The Milram rider surged ahead of 2008 winner Steffen Radochla (Nutrixxon Sparkasse) in the closing stages of the 174 kilometre one-day race to claim the win.

The 24-year-old becomes the third German in succession to win the race, following wins for Andre Greipel and Radochla in the past two years.

"It was a very fast race, with many attacks at the start," said sports director Ralf Grabsch.

"At 90km everyone came together again. A duo then tried to make it to the finish. We joined in the chase work shortly before the finish and brought Roger Kluge perfectly into position. Roger decided the sprint for himself magnificently and rewarded all of us with this great result."
