Team NetApp has already completed its first training camp of 2012 on Lanzarote. Time enough for Sport Director Enrico Poitschke to get to know the new riders on the team a bit better. Over the next seven days he will introduce the new riders individually.

“André has incredible experience as a sprinter. He has shown on many occasions that he's able to set up the sprint perfectly for top riders. He always does 100% of what the sport directors tell him to. Even though he’s no longer the youngest rider, he always improved his performance over the past couple of years, and I think he'll do a good job not only as a lead-out rider but that he’ll also be able to claim a victory or two for himself. André always shares his good mood and supports the young riders, in particular, whenever he can.”
