He is supported by Christoph Ziermann, a former professional cyclist who once delivered a positive doping test in 1988 before the Olympic Games.
This year’s comeback tour has five stages, starting in Bad Tatzmannsdorf. The Großglockner is crossed on the second day, after which a section continues to Bad Ischl. It continues in Bad Schallerbach on July 5th, with the mountain finish on the Sunday mountain, the decision about the overall victory will then be made.
