Der deutsche Radprofi Max Walscheid schließt sich dem australischen Rennstall Jayco AlUla an.
German professional cyclist Max Walscheid will join the Australian racing team Jayco-AlUla in 2024. The sprinter will receive a two-year contract there and will play a supporting role for fellow sprinter Dylan Groenewegen.
"As long as the road doesn't climb too much, that's my territory, especially on cobbles and in the wind. I'm also very experienced in supporting a group," the 30-year-old was quoted as saying in a press release.
