TDF: Milram

This year's Milram squad plans not to run one Tour de France, but 21. They have said that they are disinterested in the idea of placing riders high in the GC and instead are content to try for daily stage wins. They have the perfect people in place to do so as well.

Gerald Ciolek (above) will be the team leader, and Milram's top hope for many of the individual stages. He can hold his own with the top sprinters on a flat sprint and can probably outclimb most other sprinters if the course becomes more inclined near the finish. He will have the full support of his Milram teammates, and when he falters they may switch their attention to getting stage wins other ways. I would expect riders like Terpstra or Knees to attack if a breakaway is permitted to get free.

Full Roster:

Gerald Ciolek

Linus Gerdemann
