Pascal Ackermann will headline Team Jayco AlUla\u2019s sprint line-up next season after signing a two-year contract with the squad.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old German has won 45 UCI races over his career, including three stages of the Giro d\u2019Italia and two stages of the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a as well as being a former German national champion.<\/p>\n
Ackermann will join compatriot Jasha S\u00fctterlin and Slovenian Luka Mezgec, who form part of the Team Jayco AlUla sprint train, on the squad.<\/p>\n
He is an accomplished winner and a veteran of nine seasons in the highest ranks of professional cycling. The GreenEDGE Cycling management believe that Ackermann will strengthen the team\u2019s sprint squad as well as providing valuable experience.<\/p>\n
Pascal Ackermann
\u201cTeam Jayco AlUla is a team with a great history, and one that I was already looking up to when I was younger. It has always been a dream to join the team, so I am excited for this opportunity! For me, it\u2019s definitely the best team to continue to chase my dream of winning races! Let\u2019s get into 2026 and get back to the top.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brent Copeland \u2013 General Manager
\u201cWe are delighted to welcome Pascal to the squad and believe that he will fit in very well with the team\u2019s well-established leadout train. He has shown over his career that he can win at the highest level, which is demonstrated by his multiple Grand Tour stage victories. We are looking forward to working with him next season and seeing what he can achieve under the guidance of the team\u2019s coaches and sport directors.\u201d<\/p>\n
