CSC signs Danish neo-pro

A new young Danish talent will be joining Team CSC next season: 20 year-old André Steensen will be the only neo-pro on the 2008 team roster when he will start racing on May 1. The youngster joins the ProTour team directed by Bjarne Riis coming from Danish Glud & Marstrand Horsens team.

In 2005, Steensen won the junior world ranking and this year took a third place in the Tour de l'Avenir, a race which requires all-round skills. "I'm most definitely a stage rider," Steensen said. "I do fine in the time trials and okay in the mountains as well. So I'm really hoping to do well in the shorter stage races and on the long term also in the Giro, the Tour and the Vuelta."
