Shane Archbold will join the ranks of Sports Directors at BORA - hansgrohe from next season. The 34-year-old New Zealander announced the end of his pro cycling career a few days ago.

"I'm very pleased that the team has given me the opportunity to continue to be part of the team and to move into this new role as a Sports Director. Working with the neo-pros on the team will be exciting. This way, I can pass on my experience and knowledge to the future of BORA - hansgrohe. I will work together with the guys to get the bet out of themselves," says former BORA-hansgrohe rider Archbold.

- And yet, so many who get money get worried about it so obviously it’s not easy for everyone.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- Maybe Simon's close bond with his brother made his position untenable, for instance if Visma were planning an unwelcome surprise for UAE.Hills3310-01-2026
- You forgot the tax angle which says quite a lot about people who are already well set up. And he’s got rid of the money hasn’t he, or rather invested it long-term for his family, people who like money spend differently.Mistermaumau10-01-2026

They all pepper their articles about Jonas with the words family, quiet and candid. Then they have to make Tadej sound the opposite. If Tadej started a family they would be confused.Hills3310-01-2026
- He hung on there, in the tour, hell either sink or swim, let's hope the latter!
