T-Mobile ready for Zürich

Steffen Wesemann will lead the T-Mobile Team roster at the 93nd edition of the Championship of Zürich on Sunday. 'Wese' who represented his adopted Swiss homeland at last week's World Championships, will be hoping to use home-advantage to his favour in the prestigious one-day classic.

The ProTour race, also called the Zuri-Metzgete, is set on a tough parcours, which is why the team management has selected a mix of classics specialists and stage racers, with Michael Rogers, and the Italian duo of Eddy Mazzoleni and Daniele Nardello aiming for the podium. Nardello pulled off one of the biggest wins of his career in Zürich in 2003, when eight kilometres from the finish he jumped clear of a select leading group to solo home to victory. Rounding out the roster in Switzerland are Kim Kirchen, Stephan Schreck and Patrik Sinkewitz and young Austrian Bernhard Kohl.
