CSC invites unsigned youngsters to training camp

Team CSC has invited four young riders without contracts to its training camp this month. Lasse Bochmann of Denmark and Spaniard Joaquin Novoa were stagiaires at the team in 2007, while Jonathan Bellis of Great Britain and Daniel Ossa of Italy have never raced in CSC colours.

Novoa, 25, joined the team for a few races in autumn. He was recommended by his countryman and training partner, Carlos Sastre. Bochmann, 24, also rode for the team late last season, but he crashed heavily in the fourth stage of the Tour of Ireland, ending his season.
