BORA-hansgrohe

Now established as one of the best teams in the WorldTour, BORA-hansgrohe began life as a Continental-level team - Team Netapp - just over a decade ago. From those humble beginnings they grew rather quickly, subsuming the British team Endura Racing as they stepped up to the ProConti ranks in 2013. In 2017 they finally applied for, and received, a WorldTour licence.

This jump up to cycling’s top-level coincided with the signing of then double World Champion Peter Sagan and the move from Argon 18 bikes to Specialized. The Sagan era is now well and truly over at BORA-hansgrohe and the German squad has transitioned into a real, stage-race-winning force. Several of the riders who were brought in to fill the Sagan-shaped hole at the centre of their roster have gone on to reap a lot of success, particularly Jai Hindley who bagged them their first Grand Tour victory at the 2022 Giro d’Italia. The arrival of Bob Jungels and Nico Denz, in addition to their current stage-racing stars Aleksandr Vlasov, Sergio Higuita and Hindley, is another sign that they mean business at the Grand Tours in 2023.
