Tinkoff Credit Systems has formally confirmed the signing of 30 year-old Jorg Jaksche to the Italian-registered Professional Continental squad. The German was one of 56 riders named in the Spanish authorities' Operación Puerto doping investigation, which was recently shelved by a Spanish judge.
"This for me is an important day," said an enthusiastic Jaksche, "because finally I return to breathe cycling air, thanks above all to the Tinkoff [team] and its general manager Stefano Feltrin. [He] has followed me personally in this negotiation."
