With the transfer window well underway in the cycling world, every day more and more signing are announced. The latest of these comes courtesy of BORA - hansgrohe, who have announced the arrival of Matteo Sobrero.
"Matteo is Mr. Multitasking - a rider who impresses with many skills. Any rider who becomes the Italian TT champ, convinces on medium climbs and is an important domestique in the Grand Tours really has many talents," Rolf Aldag, Head of Sports at BORA - hansgrohe, says to his team's official website. "We believe that Matteo hasn't reached his full potential yet. If we can make this development, he can even ride close to the world's best."
Sobrero has three professional wins to his name, including a stage at the 2022 Giro d'Italia and the aforementioned Italian national time-trial championships. The 26-year-old will remain at Team Jayco AlUla for the remainder of the year, starting at BORA - hansgrohe on January 1st, 2024.
"I am very happy and really looking forward to being part of BORA - hansgrohe," Sobrero himself says. "Together with the team, I want to continue working on myself and take the next step in my development. There are big goals ahead of us that we want to achieve together."

- I had no idea about that either.
santiagobenites10-11-2026 - great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026
- Me too!!!!!Occam10-11-2026
- they can sign any 100 of top riders today but Pogi will win over Remco any time at the TDF unless something goes wrongabstractengineer10-11-2026
- the time for a GC rider to retire is when they cannot win stages, or have a significant level drop like from winner/podium into top 5/10 consistently. Roglic is still competitive and Froome raced even though he became pack fodder.abstractengineer10-11-2026
