Linus Gerdemann will be team captain in only his second Tour de France, but the Team Milram rider isn't afraid of the pressure. "There is a certain responsibility, which spurs me on, but I think I am up to it, and I believe that the team has the right mood," he told Cyclingnews. "It is not a burden to start as team captain."
