Women's teams for Nürnberg World Cup

The women's World Cup season wraps up this weekend in Germany at the Rund um die Nürnberger Altstadt with a course favouring the top sprinters, and the teams are pulling out the big guns to contest this series finale. Equipe Nürnberger Versicherung is sending last year's winner Regina Schleicher to the team's hometown World Cup race this Sunday, while T-Mobile will be priming its fast finisher, Ina-Yoko Teutenberg, to improve on her second-place finish of last year.

The city of Nürnberg is looking forward to greeting the riders, especially its own team, said Oliver Strathmann, Director of Sponsoring for Nürnberger Versicherung. "The Finale in Nürnberg always has a special attraction. On this day, Nürnberg is the capital of international women's cycling and many fans look to the metropolitan region."
