Rebellin, who has spent the past four years with the Polish Pro Continental team CCC Sprandi Polkowice, is the second signing announced by the team after the involvement of former teammate Stefan Schumacher was confirmed last week.

“The great all-rounder rider, despite his age (45 years), joins the team not only to show all his talent, but also to offer his experience to the youngest riders of the team that will have the opportunity to learn from one of the most important ‘teachers’ of the peloton,” a team press release said.

Among the victories in Rebellin’s long career are Liege-Bastogne-Liege, Fleche Wallonne (three times) and the Amstel Gold Race. He won a silver medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing but was stripped of that result when he tested positive for CERA. He served a two-year ban and returned to the sport in 2011.
