25-year-old Spaniard, Roger Adrià will make the step up to World Tour level for the first time in his career in 2024 after securing himself a deal with BORA - hansgrohe.
"Roger is a diamond in the rough. He has already proven his talent with great results, but we think there is still a lot of potential in him," Rolf Aldag, Head of Sports at BORA - hansgrohe tells his team's official website as they announce their latest arrival. "We can help with that with our structure and tools, from training management to nutrition and equipment. We see him as a punchy climber. We'll find out together in the coming months about his climbing strengths in the high mountains."
Despite having just one career win to his name, stage 2 of La Route d'Occitanie in 2022, Adria has impressed over the past couple of years and in his most recent outing, the Spaniard secured a top-10 finish overall at the Arctic Race of Norway for Equipo Kern Pharma.
"Stepping into the WorldTour with BORA - hansgrohe is a dream come true," he says. "It’s a great team and the perfect one for me so I can keep taking steps forward. I’m really happy to be part of it.”

- Always came across as a great human being, his interviews typically had him with this private smile, friendly but also amused at the whole situation, and his ability as a rider let us see him pretty often in those interviews. Two grand tours, a spectacular letdown in a third, and solid riding throughout his career. I've enjoyed watching him throughout his career, and wish him the best with what comes next. Also, what, only one Yates in the peloton? How can that be?!RidesHills07-01-2026
- The oldest racket on Earth (in buisness) is convincing you that your cycling life( fill in a thousand other things) will approach pro level if you you buy their 15 pound titanium carbon rocket ship.The amount of fat ass 50 and 60 somethings riding these things is exactly the same as the old fart in a Ferrari trying to stave off father time with wads of cash.Good for Gaimon speaking about this weenie weight psychosis deliberately foistered on the consumer. Good for State as well.
Brucegel07-01-2026 - Congratulations to Simon on a fantastic career, and respect to him for choosing this time to retire.

- He went at his very peak level achievement. But i think todays sport is shortening the life of a rider at the very top which except for some super responders or Talented riders not many can matchabstractengineer07-01-2026
- Their mainstay is going to be Tim Merlier for sprint wins and others for some breakaway wins. They will not figure in the monuments or the GC GTsabstractengineer07-01-2026
- Remco although a great rider, he doesn't have the temperament of a champion. The moment he loses a race, he becomes negative and it hurts his chances. The only way he can win is if Pogi gets hurt.PogiFan2Day07-01-2026
- This decision seems to make it clear that Jonas is riding the Giro D'Italia. Simon obviously wanted to defend his title and wasn't able to.PogiFan2Day07-01-2026
- The track record speaks volumes. He has only finished half of his GTs. Compare that to Pogi or Jonas almost 100%. he mostly has at least one bad day. Also he crashes a lot. He is more of a one day racer, a TT specialist who can also do GTs not the other way around. plus he is losing to Pogi Jonas by 5 minutes. So dont think he will beat Pogi ever in GTsabstractengineer07-01-2026
