South Australian Roberts, who won a team pursuit track cycling gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics, is included in the team.

"While its great to have the international cycling superstars racing in Adelaide, it is always nice to welcome home one of our own," Turtur said in a statement.

The Milram team will be headed by experienced Tour de France cyclists Robert Forster and Markus Fothen and renowned climber Bjorn Schroder, Turtur said.
