Zabel will lead Milram at Flanders

Erik Zabel and Marcel Sieberg will lead Team Milram in the season's fourth ProTour event at the 259km Ronde van Vlaanderen on Saturday. The long course, with its continuous steep ups and downs including the climbs of Flanders and Brabant, give Zabel and Sieberg a good shot. The experienced 36 year-old Zabel has yet to make the podium, but this year could be his chance, and Sieberg has already shown he is well suited for the tough Belgian Classics.

The rest of the team will include Alessandro Cortinovis, Ralf Grabsch, Brett Lancaster, Volodymyr Diudia, Alberto Ongarato, and Fabio Sacchi.
