The 21-year-old from Hamburg joins the STEVENS cyclocross team practically directly from the Tour of Germany, the most important German stage race. He thus strengthens the already well-positioned U23 team around Eike Behrens, Maximilian Krüger, Silas Kuschla, Piet Loos and Fynn Termin.

Jasper Levi Pahlke: "Together with the STEVENS Racing Team, I am very happy to put the focus back on cyclocross after having put the road in the foreground for the last three years. In this way, I will try to build on old successes that I was already able to celebrate on STEVENS bikes. I will probably start the season with the Bundesliga races in Bad Salzdetfurth."

The STEVENS Racing Team is the most successful German cyclocross team with almost 40 gold and almost 30 silver medals at German championships. The cornerstone of the success story, which has now lasted for over 20 years, is not least the excellent work done with young talent, led by Jens Schwedler, Sports Director of the STEVENS Racing Team and himself a four-time Cyclocross World Champion in the Masters category.

He adds: "I am delighted that Jasper Pahlke has found his way back to the STEVENS Racing Team. He is now riding his last cross season as an U23 rider in the winter and as coach and sporting director I see a good chance of winning a medal with him at the German Championships. Jasper and I have done that before. He is an outstanding technician on the cross bike and through the years at Bike Aid he has collected a lot of good road kilometres. I have confidence in Jasper and me to work together to prepare for the German Championships in January. The pressure is on, but I like that."

The STEVENS cyclocross junior team has also been strengthened with Richard Griewald, Anton Kochanowski, Marinus Kormeyer and Lorenz Offermann. Chiara Patricia Beer and Janike Lode complete the women's team.

STEVENS is looking forward to the new 2023/24 cross season and wishes all riders every success.
