“I’m a robust rider who can cope well under difficult racing conditions and who always gives 100% for his team.”

Routinier Markus Eichler has transferred to Team NetApp for next season. He has already competed in all major classics and the important one-day races, and he has four years of experience on the ProTour. The young riders on the team will benefit from this in particular. His greatest successes include winning the Ronde von Drenthe in 2006 and the Batavus Prorace in 2010. Markus will assume a leading role on the team, especially at the Belgian races.
