Two Swiss climbers to Team Volksbank

Team Volksbank has signed two Swiss climbers for the coming season, Andreas Dietziker and Elias Schmäh. Both signed one-year contracts with the Austrian Professional Continental team.

Dietziker, 25, comes from Team LPR. This season he won the Giro del Mendrisiotto and a stage of the Rheinland-Pfalz Rundfahrt. "He is a dark horse, who could have his big breakthrough in 2008," said Volksbank manager Thomas Kofler.
