The first of May the Merida bikes and the blue-fuchsia-green rider will be on the roads of Frankfurt on the 205 km course of the Rund um den Finanzplatz Eschborn-Frankfurt.

For the debut of the LAMPRE-MERIDA in the German race, the sport director Mario Scirea selected 6 riders: Mattia Cattaneo, Valerio Conti, Nelson Oliveira, Luka Pibernik, Jan Polanc and Filippo Pozzato.

The 2160 meters of climbing make the course suitable for Polanc and Oliveira, who were recently protagonists in the Belgian Classics and in the Ardennes Classics. Conti, who made his debut in top level races like the Amstel Gold Race and the Liege-Bastogne-Liege, and Pibernik will face the race in an aggressive way while Pozzato will be the additional value of the selection. Mattia Cattaneo will come back to racing after a break.
