Strong Climber Joins the Squad
Peter Lüttenberger has been brought to Team CSC in order to strengthen the team and a few additional
riders will join him in the coming weeks. Team CSC has had the strong Austrian climber in their
sights for some time and the contract with the 31-year-old Lüttenberger has now finally been signed
– so far for the remainder of the season.
”Lüttenberger is a very strong climber and he has shown a keen interest in our team. We have
wanted to strengthen the squad for some time now and it is nice to be able to add such a strong
rider as Lüttenberger. He is due to start out for the team in the Tour of Luxembourg next week. He
has had quite a long break from racing but he is eager to make results right from the start. We have
given him the chance and we will see how he performs. Later we will decide whether he is fit to do
the Tour”, says Bjarne Riis about the new addition to the team.
”I am very happy to be given the chance at Team CSC. It is a good squad that many riders
want to join. I know several of the riders from other teams I have been with and I am looking
forward to joining a well-organised team. I have been training hard but I am not quite sure how my
current level of fitness compares to the other riders in the peloton. Hopefully, I will be able to
live up the confidence that the team has shown me”, says Peter Lüttenberger speaking from
his Monaco home.
