The Movistar Team announced the signing of 23-year-old Michel Hessman on Wednesday. The German is currently serving a 21-month suspension after testing positive for the diuretic chlorthalidone on June 14, 2023. His suspension ends on March 15, at which point he will begin competing for the Spanish WorldTour team.
Hessmann showed promise in his under-23 years, taking the German U23 time trial title and a stage at the Tour de l'Avenir.
