Team Milram

Encyclopedia : T : TE : TEA : Team Milram

Team Milram (UCI Team Code: MRM) is a professional cycling team participating in the 2006 edition of the UCI ProTour race series, taking over the ProTour licence of the Domina Vacanze team. The team is built on former Domina Vacanze riders, alongside parts of former German continental team, Team Wiesenhof, and riders from the discontinued ProTour Fassa Bortolo outfit. The title sponsor, [Milram Nordmilch eG] is a manufacturer of milk and dairy related products.

The Milram team has attracted two big sprinter names in Erik Zabel and Alessandro Petacchi. Although he failed to achieve his main 2005 objective of the World Cycling Championship, Alessandro Petacchi is expected to excel in the 2006 season. Erik Zabel is reaching the end of his impressive career, and after six Tour de France green jerseys (maillot vert), this season is expected to be his last. As a team, the real test for Milram will be their ability to replicate Fassa Bortolo's legendary lead out train for Alessandro Petacchi.

It is expected that Team Milram may put in an offer for Italin sprinter Paolo Bettini. During the Giro, Milram were Bettini's lead out train for many of the sprint finishes, and his contract with Quick-step runs out later in the year.
