During a press conference where the major objectives of the team were confirmed, Bora-hansgrohe unveiled the jersey for 2017.

 

As it was announced yesterday, there has been a change of plans. Rafal Majka who was set to target the Giro and stages and the polka dot jersey in the Tour de France, has changed his mind and will go for a top 5 at the Tour. Leopold König who was the original GC rider for the Tour, has also been confirmed for the French race but he may also go for the Giro. Furthermore, Peter Sagan will target a sixth green jersey.

 

“At the first team meeting in October I said that this is going to be a new adventure for all of us,” Sagan said in a team press release. “Like BORA is working hard on their cooking revolution, I think, with this team, we can start a revolution in cycling. For me, it is key to have backing from the team and at BORA – hansgrohe I felt comfortable right from the beginning.”

 

“Both of us, Leo and myself, can lead a team in a Grand Tour. I will focus on the Tour and the Vuelta next year. At the Tour, with Leo, myself but also with Peter, we can play a big role,” said Majka.

 

“For BORA – hansgrohe it will be important how all the new riders can integrate themselves in this new team, but what I saw until now makes me confident that we find the right team spirit very fast.”

 

Bora-hansgrohe team for 2017:

Pascal Ackermann, Shane Archbold, Jan Barta, Erik Baska, Cesare Benedetti, Sam Bennett, Maciej Bodnar, Emanuel Buchmann, Marcus Burghardt, Silvio Herklotz, Michael Kolar, Patrick Konrad, Leopold König, Rafal Majka, Jay McCarthy, Jose Mendes, Gregor Muhlberger, Matteo Pelucchi, Christoph Pfingsten, Pawel Poljanski, Lukas Postlberger, Juraj Sagan, Peter Sagan, Aleksejs Saramotins, Andreas Schillinger, Michael Schwarzmann and Rudiger Selig.
