Phonak signs Vitoria, McCarty, and Hesjedal

After already having signed two young pros for the new season, Florian Stalder (Swi) and Fernandez Oliveira (Spa), Phonak's managing company ARcycling AG has brought three more riders on board. The latest recruits for the 2006 squad are 21 year-old David Vitoria (Swi), and Discovery Channel riders Jonathan Patrick McCarty (23, USA) and Ryder Hesjedal (25, Can).

"We want to form one unit for the future," said team manager John Lelangue. "That means we're striving to have a mix of already successful riders and young talents hungry for success. We're getting very close to that goal with the team that we've assembled up till today."
