Lotto-Tour: MILRAM with Petacchi and Zabel
Bremen: 23/04/2007
Team MILRAM will start at the Niedersachsen-Tour on Wednesday (25 to 29 April) with a selection led by Alessandro Petacchi and Erik Zabel. Last year Alessandro Petacchi won all of the five stages as well as the overall classification. This year the tour of five days and 890 kilometers is specific to the sprinters again. However, it will be difficult to repeat last year’s success.
Erik Zabel is also known in Lower Saxony. In 1992 the then 21 year-old started in the German National jersey gaining first experience. This year Zabel is highly motivated and wants to give all for Team MILRAM to be successful again. The team management also sends two strong all-rounders to the start who can shape the race. (rp)
