Former German champion Fabian Wegmann has signed a one-year deal with American cycling team Garmin, the rider announced Wednesday.

Wegmann, 31, has twice won the German national road title, in 2007 and 2008.

Despite having a two-year contract with Leopard-Trek through 2012, Wegmann
became surplus to requirements after the Luxembourg-based outfit merged with RadioShack to create RadioShack-Nissan-Trek.
