BORA - hansgrohe have announced their lineup for the upcoming
Tour Down Under. This is the race where
Sam Welsford will make his debut for the German team, and the priority will be in him adjusting to his new leadout as the team's main sprinter.
Welsford made the move from Team DSM - Firmenich this winter and, with the departure of Sam Bennett, becomes the team's head sprinter - despite the presence of Jordi Meeus. Bennett's former leadout of
Danny van Poppel and
Ryan Mullen will be present and it will be an important week for the trio to get used to racing together.
Patrick Gamper will also play a role here, alongside new signing
Filip Maciejuk.
