TEAM MILRAM

Panaracer is proud to have sponsored the UCI Pro Tour Milram Team in 2006. We are continuing our sponsorship for the 2007 season. The Milram team was founded for the 2006 season and qualified as a UCI Pro Tour Team due to the presence of their superstar sprinters Alessandro Petacchi and Eric Zabel. Former World champion Igor Astarloa also rides for Milram as an "overall" gc man. Gianluigi Stanga is the director sportif. The team exclusively rides Panaracer tires and Colnago bicycles. Milram is a German dairy products company. Watch this site here for snippets of news on the Milram Team throughout the 2007 season.

ABOUT TEAMS

Materials, composition and tread technology are all contributing factors that allow bicycle racers to pedal their bicycles to the finish line in the shortest time possible. Each year it's our pleasure to select about 20 teams to sponsor in their quest to cross the finish line first.

At the heart of our sponsorship program are our "grass roots" teams. Sponsorship of these teams insures that continued development of new riders occurs at the most basic levels of the sport. At the top, we sponsor the De Nardi-Colpack Team Pro Road Team. Our involvement at the highest levels of road competition provides us exposure to fans of professional cycling as well as technical information from the sponsored riders. In 2004 Serguei Gonchar (Ukr) from the De Nardi team won a stage and finished second at the Giro d'Italia.

All of the input that we receive from our teams contributes to produce the finest bicycle tires available today. None of this additional R&D would be possible without the hearts, lungs and legs of the cyclists on the teams we sponsor.

We thank all our teams and cyclists for giving their all to keep Panaracer tires at the front of the pack and at the top of the podium. 2004 has been an exceptional year and we wish our sponsored teams continued success in 2005.
