Preview

The 54th Bank Austria Tour starts on June 10 with an 11 kilometre time trial in Reutte, and finishes in Graz on June 16. The seven day race contains three category 1 climbs and five other lesser ranked climbs, and is renowned for suiting the climbers.

Marco Pantani (Mercatone Uno) was due to start, but pulled out at the last minute due to sickness. The main competition will be from the likes of Peter Luttenberger (Tacconi Sport), Evgueni Petrov (Mapei espoirs), and the EDS-fakta team who are the favourites for this race with Jørgen Bo Petersen and Lennie Kristensen as their in form riders.
