Linus Gerdemann (Muenster, Germany) 25
Linus gave himself a big goal to beat in 2007 when he made a name for himself climbing into the yellow jersey in stage seven of the Tour de France. He is a climbing and time trial specialist and in 2006 won the German U23 Road Title and placed third in the Time Trial. A stage win in the Tour is hard to top for any rider and we look forward to what 2008 may bring.
