BORA - hansgrohe strike deal with two continental teams to develop young riders
CyclingMonday, 29 August 2022 at 11:30
As new generations of riders emerge and quickly take big wins within the pro peloton, more and more teams are looking to have their own under-23 projects. BORA - hansgrohe has became the next team to do so, however through different means as they form a partnership with two existing teams.
Team manager Ralph Denk has said that "since we don't have our own U23 team, there was a gap in our system, which we can now close with our partnerships with Lotto Kern-Haus and Tirol. In the future, riders from our U19 team can make a stopover, so to speak, at one of the two teams. Both teams have a very strong and also international racing program, as well as a professional structure... I think we’ll create a true win-win-win situation with these collaborations".
BORA, as one of the leading World Tour teams, hence create an under-23 set of structures. Several other teams have similar programs or partnerships, with teams as for example Groupama - FDJ signing over half a dozen of their young talents for the coming season.
Team Lotto - Kern Haus, one of Germany's continental squads is one of the teams within the new collaboration, and the Austrian Tirol KTM Cycling Team is the other. The latter has seen two of it's riders sign a World Tour contract this year, and has Florian Lipowitz riding as a stagiaire with BORA which proves already current connections between both teams. The two German-speaking countries are great priorities for the team, which has taken a step in the long-term maintenance of the team level.
