Hanco Kachelhoffer
Hanco has developed into an accomplished all-rounder able to time
trial, climb and sprint with distinction and as a result is well suited
to stage racing. After lying second for two stages, he finished fourth
overall against strong local and international opposition at the 2008
Giro del Capo and was a regular podium visitor on Giro stages as well
as other top one-day events during the 2008.
At 23, Hanco’s best years
are still ahead of him. He is widely regarded as a huge talent and the
well-balanced Medscheme team could be the catalyst he needs to launch
him to the next level in his career.
