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. Alongside Archbold, Patxi Vila will also return. The Basque was already part of the German team and makes his comeback in 2024.
"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.
"I'm really happy to join the team again, and I'm looking forward to bringing everything I can to the team, so we'll achieve our big goals. It feels like coming back home. I'm excited for the 2024 season, which I hope will be successful for BORA - hansgrohe. Especially with the big move the team has made, we'll be able to fight for the biggest wins in the World," adds Vila.
