German rider Roger Kluge has signed a two-year contract with continental team Rad-net Osswald. He acted as a lead-out at Lotto Soudal in recent years but could not secure a contract extension from the team this time.

"I would have liked to stay at WorldTour level, but I am happy to ride here, even if it is mainly a training team," said Kluge. He continues, "With this team, there is traditionally a lot of focus on track cycling. My goal is to compete in the Olympics for the fifth time in 2024, and ideally, I would like to end my career there with a medal. Right now, I feel good enough to achieve that goal."

His most notable victory remains Cassano d'Adda stage at the 2016 Giro d'Italia. Rad-net Osswald is filled with young and potential riders, and his  Six Days on track partner Theo Reinhardt is also a part of the squad. “I can't wait to start this new chapter of my career, together with younger riders. I think I can give them a lot of experience, and that will be an exciting task in some ways," concluded Kluge.

Le double champion du monde de l'américaine, Champion d'Europe de l'américaine et Champion d'Europe de l'omnium Roger Kluge rejoindra la Rad Net en 2023 et 2024. Sur route, il a remporté la 17e étape du Giro 2016.
