Polti offers hope for young German
The italian Team Polti has offered a two year contract to Joerg Jaksche, a 20
year old pro rider from the small team "Schauff Oeschelbronn". Beside Jan
Ullrich of Telekom, Jaksche is one of the youngest pros in Germany. He was the
dominating cyclist in the "junior bundesliga" for the under 18 in the last
years and changed to Oeschelbronn as soon as he was old enough for pro
cycling.
