Giro d'Italia

Gerdemann was the leader of Team Milram's squad at the Giro d'Italia, in his first participation in the event. Förster, a three-time Giro stage winner, was brought along with the sprints in mind. |url-status = dead}} In the stage 4 team time trial, the squad was tenth, finishing with five riders 57 seconds off the pace of stage winners .{{cite web |url-status = dead}} In stage 6, Gerdemann finished the stage with the peloton and moved into eighth overall, leapfrogging in the overall standings over several sprinters who were left minutes behind.{{cite web |url-status = dead}} Gerdemann and Rohregger finished together, for 12th and 13th at one minute and 13 seconds back, in the difficult and muddy stage 7 in Tuscany. With this result, both were in the top ten for a day,{{cite web |url-status = dead}} though both were dropped on Monte Terminillo the next day and fell out of the top ten.{{cite web |url-status = dead}} Förster took fourth and then fifth in the sprint finishes to stages 9 and 10.{{cite web |url-status = dead}}{{cite web |url-status = dead}}

In stage 11, more than 50 riders formed the day's breakaway, with the Giro's favorites conceding nearly 13 minutes to the stage winner. Gerdemann and Russ made the selection, and with sixth on the stage Gerdemann moved into seventh overall.{{cite web |url-status = dead}} In the first of the Giro's several mountain stages in its last week, Gerdemann rode the Monte Grappa climb with the second group on the road, losing 2'25" to stage winner Vincenzo Nibali but moving up to fifth in the overall classification.{{cite web |url-status = dead}} Gerdemann conceded time in each climbing stage the rest of the way, and the squad did not have any high stage placings from stage 14 on. Gerdemann completed the race in 16th place, at a deficit of 34'49 to Giro champion Ivan Basso. The squad finished 19th in the Trofeo Fast Team standings and 14th in the Trofeo Super Team.{{cite web

Tour de France

Gerdemann also led Milram's squad for the Tour de France, with Ciolek their primary sprinter.{{cite web |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100704102925/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/prologue/results |archive-date = 4 July 2010 |url-status = dead}} Over the next two days, the team took numerous meaningless high placings, as both of the first two road race stages involved neutralizations following crashes.{{cite web |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100704102334/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-1/results |archive-date = 4 July 2010 |url-status = dead}}{{cite web |archive-date=6 July 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100706234029/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-2/results |url-status=dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100913042530/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-5/results |archive-date = 13 September 2010 |url-status = dead}} He was sixth the next day in a similar finish.{{cite web |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100709045150/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-6/results |archive-date = 9 July 2010 |url-status = dead}} Roberts made a winning breakaway in stage 15, but was left well short of victory on the day, finishing with Alberto Contador's group three minutes behind stage winner Thomas Voeckler, as the new race leader caught the last remnants of that group right at the finish.{{cite web |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100819075548/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-15/results |archive-date = 19 August 2010 |url-status = dead}} In the Tour's largely ceremonial final stage, Ciolek again figured into the sprint finish, taking sixth on the day. No member of the squad was ever competitive in the overall standings. Rohregger was their highest-placed rider at the race's conclusion, in 74th place, 2 hours and 12 minutes behind Tour champion Contador. Gerdemann was 84th, a further 24 minutes back. The squad finished in last place in the teams classification.{{cite web |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100815033234/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-20/results |archive-date = 15 August 2010 |url-status = dead}}
