CSC signs Bøchman

Lasse Bøchman will join team CSC this spring, the squad announced Thursday. He "has impressed so much during Team CSC's training camp in Mallorca that the young Danish talent will be given a contract with the team."

The 24 year-old rode as a stagiaire for the outfit directed by Bjarne Riis last fall, but only briefly, crashing badly in the Tour of Ireland. Bøchman and three other young riders were invited to the training camp.
