CULT Energy-Stölting Group has signed a one-year contract with the Danish talent Michael Carbel who was riding for CULT Energy Pro Cycling this season. As a rookie in the professional peloton, Carbel has gained crucial experience and put a handful of top results in his pocket wearing the Danish U23 national colors. The 20 year-old was a natural pick for the CULT Energy-Stölting Group 2016 roster according to DS André Steensen.

Sports director André Steensen says about Michael Carbel:

“Carbel is another great talent we get to work with next year. He is still only 20 years old and you have to consider his age when deciding what to expect from him. But looking at Michael's first professional season, he has been putting top-5 results in his pocket and he has been at his best in the races where we expected most from him. This gives us hope that Michael will be even stronger in 2016, a year older and more experienced. Michael has the talent to go far in his career and with more experience, he will be able to get more results for us next year, I'm sure."

Michael Carbel states:

“This season has been a rollercoaster ride considering my own results but looking in the rearview mirror, I have gained a lot of experience and I had some good moments here and there. I’m glad I decided to take the next step up after only one year as a Continental rider and I’m happy to be able to continue my development at least one more year with CULT Energy-Stölting Group. In 2016, I hope to be achieving more top results and hopefully net a few wins along the way."
