MILRAM To Announce TDF Roster
We are still waiting for the Milram Team roster for the Tour de France. The lingering questions are; will Petacchi ride? And will Eric Zabel participate in his 11th consecutive Tour de France. His participation is only in doubt due to his recent doping admissions when he rode for T-Mobile in the 90's. Christian Prudhomme, the director of the TDF has made it clear that he is trying to have a clean race and that Zabel's participation may be in jeopardy due to his recent admission. On Petacchi's side, coming off of 5 stage wins in the Giro certainly places him well for a good performance at the Tour de France. A performance that has eluded him thus far in his career. We will keep this news section updated with Milram results from the TDF.
