Hoffman leaves CSC to join T-Mobile

T-Mobile Team will be undergoing some big changes this fall, with Bob Stapleton taking the team over from Olaf Ludwig and former rider Rolf Aldag becoming a directeur sportif. He will be joined in that position by Tristan Hoffman, Team CSC announced Friday afternoon.

Hoffman was with Team CSC for seven years as a rider and a Directeur Sportif. "It's been a tough decision to make, cause I've had a fantastic time at Team CSC," he said. "The team gave me a chance as sports director, when I suddenly had to stop my active career due to a serious injury, and that's given me the perfect experience regarding my future career within cycling. I've been with the team for seven years now, so I needed a new challenge, which I found at T-Mobile."
