Top junior signs with Glud & Marstrand Horsens

Glud & Marstrand Horsens, a Danish UCI Continental team, has effectively absorbed the Vejle junior team to generate an under-23 squad for 2006 that includes junior world number 1 André Steensen. Steensen, who won this year's Oberösterreich Rundfahrt and took second overall in the Peace Race, will be joined by Troels Rønning Vinter, Flemming Rasmussen, Kaspar Schjønnemann and Thomas Guldhammer.

Vejle Junior Team sports director Jan Steensen, is following his junior riders and will be new sports director.

Glud & Marstrand Horsens has also re-signed 22-year-old Norwegian Håvard Nybø and 19-year-old Kim Marius Nielsen for another year, enabling it to send a full under-23 team to the races in 2006.
