Gerolsteiner: ‘Stage victory in final week’
Germany’s Gerolsteiner hopes it can crack the top 10 and win a stage in the upcoming Tour de France.
The team brings Markus Fothen and Bernhard Kohl as GC hopes with Stefan Schumacher leading the charge in the hunt for an elusive stage victory.
“Fothen and Kohl can challenge for the overall race, while we are looking for stage victories in the last week,” said team sporting director Christian Henn.
Fothen, fresh off winning a stage at the Tour de Suisse, is hoping to top his 14th overall during the 2006 Tour. Kohl, the team’s lean Austrian climbing specialist, is also looking for a strong GC performance.
The team will also bring sprinter Robert Forster and stage-hunters Fabian Wegmann and Oliver Zaugg.
The team is still searching for a new title sponsor to take over for Gerolsteiner, which ends its long-running support of the team at the end of this season.
