Belgian WorldTour team Soudal‑Quick Step announced the signing of 24‑year‑old German rider Tim Torn Teutenberg on a contract that runs until the end of 2028. The Cologne‑born cyclist turned professional in 2025 and is praised for his sprinting speed, time‑trial ability and interest in one‑day classics.
