Rund um Koln 2008

Are they whimps?

The 100th birthday of the Rund um Köln on Easter Monday was cancelled due to 'Schnee-Chaos' (Snow) in Nordrhein-Westfalen.

Race organiser Rudi Altag had to call the race off after consultations with police and race officials.

It was bad new for Team Milram who had targeted the race for Erik Zabel. Alessandro Petacchi had been due to compete but he pulled out of the race post Milan San Remo due to a cold.
