Sebastian Schwager (born 4 January 1984) is a German former road racing cyclist.[1][3] He rode for Thüringer Energie Team in 2006 and Team Milram in 2007 and 2008.[3]
Career
Schwager, from Ansbach, won the opening stage of the 2006 International Mainfranken-Tour for Thüringer Energie Team, ahead of Christoph Pfingsten and Tony Martin.[4] He retained the race lead through the final stage and won the general classification by eleven seconds over Pfingsten, with Martin third overall.[5]
In June 2005, Schwager won the road race at the German under-23 championships in Wörth an der Donau, sprinting from a three-rider breakaway ahead of Alexander Gottfried and Robert Bengsch.[2]
In August 2006, Team Milram signed Schwager to a two-year contract beginning with the 2007 season.[6] Cyclingnews described him as a neo-professional and noted that he had won the German under-23 road title in 2005 and finished third in the same event in 2006.[6]
In 2008, Schwager rode the Bayern Rundfahrt for Milram as a local rider from Ansbach and Neusäß.[7] Later that year, he finished the 2008 Vuelta a España in 115th place for Team Milram.[8] After Milram did not renew his contract, Schwager discussed his uncertain future in a December 2008 interview with Radsport-News.[9]
