UCI World Champion Peter Sagan and Polish Road Race champion Rafal Majka will lead BORA – hansgrohe at this year’s Tour de France, the team have announced.
With Emanuel Buchmann, Marcus Burghardt and Rüdiger Selig, three German riders will also be at the start on July 1st in Düsseldorf.
“We have a strong team going into this year’s Tour de France,” said Enrico Poitschke, sports director. “The last weeks and strong results gave us confidence, and we are eager to also fulfil our goals at the Tour. To fulfil our goals, was also the main aspect in selecting the riders.”
