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.
The team has signed Spanish climber Roger Adrià and he will also be making his debut in the lineup here in Australia, alongside Ben Zwiehoff the duo will be outsiders for the overall classification.

- Saronni is right. Riders have to do their part. What happened in this year's Tour de Rwanda last stage, with the yellow jersey Doubey forcing the cancellation of the race, was pretty bad.heinz16-05-2025
- As I alluded to early on this year, it seems mire and more obvions Wout is paying the price all of having tried to return to form too fast. He should never have trained to perform for the cyclocross WC, he’s been playing catch-up ever since. It’s like the macro version of trying to perform in a race after having gone into the red. Not blaming him, he’s obviously under far too much unhealthy outside pressure, that’s why I admire Jonas’ refusal to racing what others try to tell him to do. Look at how they treat Wout when he tries but fails to please, sad bunch of parasites.Mistermaumau16-05-2025

- You have to admire enforcement agencies for discovering people’s addresses ;-) Might just as well make them completely public.Mistermaumau16-05-2025
- Anyone in America is right wing compared to mist of tve world bar maybe Russia+ gravitating satellites except financially. Even your despised liberals. Nobody « saw » how 30´s Germany would evolve and they could be excused for lack of precedent but watching from the outside (far easier to see the global picture) it is incredible how few people see the parallels and how little deviation there is if you interchange details. I used to imagine people would grow smarter from studying history but as you grow older and gather experience you realise that’s only possible when history isn’t distorted and sterilised. The powers that be know this of course and now have to work hard to do it in real-time. How is this related to cycling? We’ll, the day there’s a coup in Greenland, he’ll probably break his Trek contract out of principle, and any Mads news or predictions are cycling-news worthy ;-)Mistermaumau16-05-2025

- It clearly wasn't a protest - tell me what they were protesting about? They were just two crazy people wanting their 15mins of fame, just like that 'Allez Opi Omi' crazy person in 2021.Pogboom16-05-2025
- Right wing, who said I was right wing? Just admitting this article reminds me of the extreme protests by the mindless nimrod savages in our country. I did 120 miles today, what did you do?awp16-05-2025
- The sooner you kill yourself, you conserve c@ntface, the sooner the world will be a better place. Hurry up- I'm waiting to piss on your right-wing grave. Actually, since like all of your shameless conservative p@ssy cohort, you're too scared to do it yourself, I'll do it for you. And laugh in your face in the process. Let me know where we can meet.verve82516-05-2025
