Milram for Dutch race

By Susan Westemeyer

Team Milram has assembled a team around Alessandro Petacchi for this Wednesday’s Veenendaal – Veenendaal classic, gambling that the race will come down to a bunch sprint. The 1.HC Dutch race, which was an Amstel Gold race lead up event until 2005, is run in and around the hilly region of Veluwe, with the hardest climbs being those of the Emma Pyramide and the Grebbeberg.
