As Team Stölting announced on its website today, those responsible around team manager Jochen Hahn are planning to equip the team with a ProContinental license from the 2015 season. According to the team, "The financial prerequisites for this were created in consultation with long-term sponsors".
"The basic prerequisite for this strong financial commitment by the sponsors was, above all, a clear anti-doping program that was presented to the sponsors in a credible and detailed manner by team manager Jochen Hahn.", it goes on to say. “In the coming year, the prerequisites for stepping into professional cycling, especially in the areas of infrastructure and personnel, are to be created. Team Manager Jochen Hahn was tasked with preparing the necessary documents for the UCI.”
The Stölting team was the strongest German Continental team this season. In total, the drivers were able to claim 36 victories and 39 further podium finishes. The team's performance was particularly outstanding in the U23 Championship, where Silvio Herklotz was able to secure the title.
Herklotz, who is currently considered the greatest German talent, would like to remain loyal to the team. In addition, Stölting plans to take the majority of the young drivers who are currently on the road for the team to the higher level.
