Victor Koretzky is the latest rider to join BORA-hansgrohe. The Frenchman comes from the troubled team B&B Hotels-KTM.
"I am overjoyed to be provided with this opportunity by BORA - hansgrohe,” said Koretzky. He continues, “I have already gained experience on the road this year, but with a top team, it's an entirely different ball game. I would definitely like to develop further on the road and become a pillar for the team there. But my big dream is the 2024 Olympic MTB race in Paris. The nice thing is that with BORA - hansgrohe and Specialized, I’ll have a perfect set-up for every terrain."
The team's manager Ralph Denk is delighted to welcome Koretzky on board. "I must say I am very happy that Victor has signed with us. We have been active off-road in the past, but with Victor, we are tackling this topic more strategically. In our sport, it is becoming increasingly important to be present in different areas, especially with partners like Specialized. Together we can offer Victor a perfect platform both on and off the road."
Koretzky will be essential for the team, especially in gravel and MTB races. "The plan is that he will continue to ride the MTB World Cup, but he also wants to ride a slimmed-down road programme. I think one or two semi-classics in the spring would suit him well, looking at what type of rider he is. How exactly that will work in practice, we have yet to see. This is also new for us. But it's definitely a new challenge I'm looking forward to," concluded Denk.
