Pascal Ackermann

Pascal Ackermann is a German professional cyclist who will race for Israel-Premier Tech in the 2024 and 2025 seasons.

A pure sprinter, Ackermann has won stages in both the Giro d’Italia and the Vuelta a España. He also won the points jersey at the Giro d’Italia in 2019 but has yet to make his Tour de France debut. The German sprinter spent five years at Bora-Hansgrohe before moving to UAE Team Emirates at the start of the 2022 season. Ackermann’s palmarès also include wins in Eschborn-Frankfurt and the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic.

Having confirmed himself as one of the best Grand Tour sprinters in 2019 and 2020, Ackermann suffered a barren spell in the three-week races over the next two seasons. However, his return to winning ways on the grandest stage arrived on stage 11 of the 2023 Giro d'Italia, beating the likes of Jonathan Milan and Mark Cavendish on the day.

The German signed a two-year deal with Israel-Premier Tech at the end of 2023 and will join the likes of George Bennett, Jake Stewart and Hugo Hofstetter as new signings for 2024.
