German ProTour team Milram earlier today announced that it has hired Linus Gerdemann. The 26-year-old German star, who was at the top of Milram team manager Gerry van Gerwen's wish list, has signed a two-year contract with the German team.  Linus Gerdeman previously rode for Team Columbia.

„We are very happy about the signing of Linus Gerdemann.  After long negotiations we can finally confirm the transfer,“ said Gerry van Gerwen and added that „In Linus we have the rider we most wanted, who will lead Team Milram in the coming years.“
