Milram newcomer Paul Voß faces his first big highlight of the new cycling season this weekend.  While his teammates on the Dortmund-based ProTour team are training on sunny  Mallorca, the cyclist from Rostock will face temperatures below freezing on Sunday at the German national cyclo-cross championships.

The Milram rider, along with youngster Phillip Walsleben (BKCP-Powerplus) of Potsdam, is one of the favorites to take over the title from Malte Urban, who retired at the end of 2008.

„My goal is clear.  I am going to the championships to win.  If it is only enough for a podium place, then I will be happy with that, too,“ said the 22-year-old, who last Sunday gave his new employer its first season win at a 'cross race in Vechta.  „My form is right and I am motivated.  And the course in Strullendorf is good for me.“

The circle of favorites around Milram's Voß and Walsleben can expect a relatively flat course at the Concordia Strullendorf, one on which no big surprise is expected.
