Three stagiaires for Gerolsteiner

For the latter part of the 2005 season, the Gerolsteiner team will take on three young riders as 'stagiaires' - the cycling equivalent of summer internships and often the first step toward a pro career.

Getting a taste of life as a pro will be 22 year-old Thomas Fothen (Team Sparkasse), Tony Martin (20, TEAG Team Köstritzer) and Christoph Meschenmoser (22, Hofbräu Radler Stuttgart).
