The German Milram team will start the 2009 ProTour by sending a seven man team to the Tour Down Under.

“It will be a difficult race,“ said MILRAM’s Christian Knees.  “The profile is challenging, there are a lot of highly-motivated riders and let’s not forget Lance Armstrong’s comeback.  We have prepared ourselves well and will have a strong team at the start.“

The team’s sprinters and all rounders use the first stage race of the year as a test.  Knees will lead the team, supported by a misture of classics riders and sprinters.

Team MILRAM for the Tour Down Under:

Christian Knees (GERMANY), Luca Barla (ITALY), Martin Müller (GERMANY), Markus Eichler (GERMANY), Wim Stroetinga (NETHERLANDS), Thomas Rohregger (AUSTRIA), Ronny Scholz (GERMANY)
