Colombian climber Sergio Higuita BORA - hansgrohe's best shot at success at Tour of the Alps
CyclingSunday, 14 April 2024 at 10:00
With their Tour of the Alps selection, BORA - hansgrohe makes it clear that the race is not very high on their list of priorities, even more so when many of the German team's leaders are currently dealing with wide range of injuries.
The team for Tour of the Alps is built around single leader in person of Sergio Higuita. The Colombian can be seen as a favourite to take at least stage if not the whole GC. An ace up Higuita's sleeve riders is his powerful final kick, which can see him score important bonification seconds in predicted reduced sprints.
BORA - hansgrohe lineup for Tour of the Alps:
Cesare Benedetti, Patrick Gamper, Emil Herzog, Sergio Higuita. Jonas Koch and Anton Palzer

- Not sure you can say that someone as talented and successful as him has had bad luck, but between coming along right after the two titans and now this, his is a career cut short. Perhaps he can transition to a different role in the sport, but in any case I wish him well.MidnightRider08-01-2026
- I doubt it. This blows a hole in their ranks.mobk08-01-2026
- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
- Yes, still sad though, that he's retiring. Anyway, best wishes for his new chaptermhfrvz08-01-2026
- has he been pushed out by the team ?
ChillingCyclist08-01-2026 - Jesus was crusified at age 33. Go out BIG, not like Froome; a good cyclist but people are now laughing and making fun of Froomey. He just doesn't know when to quit. I understand Simon Yates. Who still remembers, Pogi the GOAT also talked about retiring early? He had enough of the BS that comes with professional sports, especially cycling.NikkoNicco08-01-2026
- I think the regret is greater for Cian than JV.mij08-01-2026
