Young T-Mobile riders impressed

Frantisek Rabon (22) and Rebecca Much (19) are among the "babies" on the T-Mobile teams this year, and rather in awe of their new teammates and the whole set-up. "It is really like a dream come true to me," said Rabon, while Much called it "really awesome."

Rabon, from the Czech Republic, said, "I am here to learn. At races, but also from my teammates like Jan Ullrich and Andreas Klöden." He noted that last year he watched them on TV and now is riding alongside of them. "But I'm not a tourist. I also want wins."
