Gerdemann he travelled with Milram trainer Jochen Hahn to Charlotte, to optimize his aerodynamics and seat position on his FOCUS bike.
In addition, on Monday the German ProTour team registered its preliminary 15-man Tour de France squad with the race organizer, ASO, on Monday, May 4, as required.
"I am very satisfied with the results, the trip was worth it" said Milram captain Linus Gerdemann after his return on Tuesday, May 5. "It is pretty hard to find a wind tunnel on short notice in Germany or the area, especially one which has experience not only with autos but also with cyclists. That was the case in Charlotte. I feel very well on our Focus bike. The test optimized this and brought me another step closer towards the Tour de France."

Directeur Sportif in France will be Christian Henn, who will be assisted by Dutchman Raoul Liebregts.
