From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Team Gerolsteiner (UCI Team Code: GST) is a German road bicycle racing team in the UCI ProTour. It is sponsored by the mineral water company Gerolsteiner Brunnen and Specialized.
The team was founded in 1998 with manager Hans-Michael Holczer and sports directors Rolf Gölz and Christian Henn. The contract with Georg Totschnig in 2001 helped make the team enter Division I. In 2003 the team participated in the Tour de France for the first time.
Leaders include Levi Leipheimer and Georg Totschnig, who have both recorded top 10 finishes in the Tour de France and are both excellent climbers. In 2005, Totschnig won stage 14 of the Tour, showing his skill on the 15km long climb up the Port de Pailhères (2000m at 8.2%). He was overfilled with emotion, after becoming the first Austrian to win a tour stage since Max Bulla in 1931, who won 3 stages.
