T-Mobile Team at Rund um Köln

The T-Mobile Team has nominated a mix of young and experienced riders for the Rund um Köln in Germany on Easter Monday. The race, which falls three weeks later than last year, is something of a home game for the magenta riders - the sponsor's headquarters are located just a few kilometres up the river Rhine in Bonn.

The team will be led by the Cologne-based Linus Gerdemann. He will be joined by another Cologne resident in the shape of T-Mobile sprinter André Greipel. Italian Lorenzo Bernucci, Marcus Burghardt, Stephan Schreck and André Korff all travel to Cologne, fresh off racing at last Sunday's gruelling Paris-Roubaix. The squad for the UCI category 1.1 race is rounded off by Jörg Ludewig and Thomas Ziegler. The team will be directed by Frans van Looy.
