Roger Theel came to Team CSC in 2006 after having worked in his field for five years.
”I wanted to work for the best cycling team in the world, so I contacted Kim Andersen and made the switch from Phonak, where I'd worked for two years. Before that I was at Coast-Bianchi for three years,” says Theel, who knew one of the managers at Coast.
Before Theel started as a mechanic in the international cycling world, he started a bike shop with a friend in his hometown of Magdeburg in former East Germany. Theel is a trained car mechanic, but he started fixing motorcycles and later on bikes at a car shop, he worked at.
”I've done some racing myself. I'm the same age as Jan Ullrich, so I've raced against him a couple of times, but I quit when I turned 16-årig and discovered other things in life, which were more important to me. I've done a few races as an amateur since then, when I've had the time,” says Theel, who stopped his cycling career at the same time as the Berlin wall fell. He explains that when Ullrich became a national champion for the first time as an amateur, Theel was 60th in the German championships.
”There was so much going on then. It was turbulent times politically and it was very important to find something proper to do, so I started doing a course in mechanics,” explains Theel, who has been happy with his choice and his career as a whole.
