The Österreich Rundfahrt will feature seven ProTour teams, nine Professional Continental teams and two Austrian Continental teams this year, the race organizers have announced. Among the riders expected is Danilo Napolitano, who just won a stage in the Giro, and who won two sprint stages in Austria last year.
"The negotiations with the top teams took longer this year, because the teams said, when we come, then we will bring riders who can ride for the victory. That promises interesting rider nominations," said Tour Director Ursula Riha.
