Hansen loses his adenoids

By Susan Westemeyer

Adam Hansen, who will be riding for T-Mobile Team in 2007, is spending a few days of the off-season in the hospital. The 25 year-old had his adenoids removed Friday in the Freiburg Clinic.

"This should make him less susceptible for infections," said T-Mobile spokesman Stefan Wagner to Cyclingnews. The young Australian should be able to resume training in about two weeks.
