CULT Energy-Stölting has signed a two-year-contract with Danish talent Lasse Norman Hansen who in currently doing the six-day race in London after recently taking silver at the Omnium European Championships. The 23 year-old Olympic champion has spent the last two years with the World Tour team Cannondale-Garmin, gaining loads of experience before deciding to sign with CULT Energy-Stölting Group.

DS André Steensen says:

“Lasse is undoubtedly one of the biggest talents in Denmark at the moment. When he was only 20 years old, he won Olympic gold in 2012. In 2013, he claimed both the Danish national U23 road race and time trial championship. It was only natural for him to step up to become a part of the Cannondale-Garmin team in 2014 where he has gained a lot of road race experience. I’m sure Lasse will settle in perfectly and I’m happy that he will continue his promising development with CULT Energy-Stölting Group in 2016."

Lasse Norman Hansen says:

“There wasn’t much doubt in my mind. I think going to CULT Energy-Stölting Group is the right choice for me at this point in my career. I get a chance to focus on both road racing as well as pursuing my personal goals on the track and especially the 2016 Olympic Games where I’m looking forward to defending my gold medal from 2012. In addition, I think CULT Energy Pro Cycling has done a great job on the road considering the fact that it’s their first year as a full-time professional team. I like the way they ride as a team and I like the aggressive approach. I’ll surely do what I can to win as many races as possible."
