Milram Pro Cycling Team (Germany) - 2006-10

Sponsorship was by Milram (German milk), Motorex (a Swiss oil company), De Nardi, bikes were Colnago in a lovely sky blue. Jersey design was a classic, a simple sky blue. Clothing was Santini and cars were Skoda.

Milram were something of a stage race team (for targeted stage wins, not the overall GC) - like the early version of Orica GreenEdge. Throw in a couple of single day Classics (like Paris Tours) and there you have it. Lets win. The EPO drug wave derailed everything towards the end.

Team victories very much hung off Erik Zabel & Alessandro Petacchi (sprinters of the highest order). Stage victories followed at the Tour of Spain and Tour of Italy (where Petacchi won five stages in 2007 but then failed a dope test). Highly regarded team members were numerous - Servais Knaven (Classics), Ralph Grabsch, Brett Lancaster (Aus), Luke Roberts (Aus), Linus Gerdemann, Gerald Ciolek and a youthful Niki Terpstra who went on to win at Flanders & Roubaix with QuickStep. Its a pity it all ended in 2010 as it was a classy sky blue peloton.
