Visma-Lease A Bike Has Signed the Talented Former Triathlete Anton Schiffer for Two Years on Tuesday. The 25-year-old German Has Only Been Active on the Third Level of Cycling for Two Years and Comes from the Continental Team Bike Aid.
Visma-Lease a Bike Sees Schiffer as a Great Talent. He achieved his first Professional Victory Three Weeks ago in the Sibiu Tour in Romania and won Bronze at the National Championships of Germany Earlier This Summer.
“Maybe This Step is a surprise to the outside world, but given the course of this season, it is no longer a surprise to myelf,” Says Schiffer on the Visma-Lease a bike website. “I look forward to bee able to live for my sport as a real professional for the first time.”
Schiffer will ride his first race for visma-lease a bike in October. “We look forward to working with him and are happy that we can use him for the team from October,” Says Team Leader Grischa Niermann.
“We think he can still improve a lot in all areas,” Niermann Continues. “Although He Rides for a Small Team, he has already leg able to book his first professional Victory. That shows that he definitely has talent.”
Visma-Lease a Bike Has Been Successful in the Past with Attracting Inexperienced Riders Who had started their Careers in Another Sport. The Best-Known Example is Four-Time Vuelta Winner Primoz Roglic, Who Came From Ski Jumping.
