New continental team planned in Germany

By Susan Westemeyer

Plans are afoot to create a new Continental team in Germany, Team Rheinland-Pfalz. Rheinland-Pfalz is a state in western Germany, on the Belgian and French borders, and among its native sons can boast of former pro Udo Bölts, among others. But of 75 Germans who now hold professional licenses, not a single one of them comes from the region. As of 2007, though, that should change: Lars Diemer, a former cyclist and currently a trainer for young pros such as Wiesenhof's Tim Klinger, and attorney Siegfried Fröhlich are joining forces to create the new team. Diemer will serve as Directeur Sportif and Fröhlich as business manager.
