Conditions in Tuscany are perfect.

I am delighted that we were able to finalize a long-term contract with Linus. Last season he proved himself to be one of the most promising riders in the German cycling scene. Linus fits perfectly into our concept. We are approaching the 2006 season with a fresh mix of young riders with potential and experienced pros capable of carrying the can in the big races.

We have already pushed out our boundaries, and now it is not just about defending them, but expanding them. Today, we have to have the right structures in place to respond in the most professional way to the challenges of elite pro cycling. In Mario, I have a partner, who has the right qualities and in whom I have 100 percent trust.

I had perfect conditions for that. The lake was calm.

And even the ranks of Tuscany / Could scarce forbear to cheer.
