The T-Mobile team has signed André Greipel to its roster for next season, on a one year basis. The 23 year-old sprinter, who hails from Jan Ullrich's hometown of Rostock, rode for Team Wiesenhof this year. "André is a young rider with massive potential," said T-Mobile manager Olaf Ludwig. "He has shown that already on a number of occasions this year. We are hoping that, with us, he can continue to develop and evolve as a sprinter."
In his first year in the pro ranks, Greipel impressed with a strong ride at the Tour of Denmark, where he bagged a stage win, as well as second and third places in stages. Greipel also managed fourth place in a strong field at the "Rund um die Nürnberger Altstadt" criterium. The Wiesenhof rider also sprinted to third place in the third stage of the International Tour of Rheinland-Pfalz.
