Attack on the Grand Tours: Bora-Hansgrohe brings Vlasov - Kicke
Although Bora-Hansgrohe has retrieved a sprinter after the upcoming exits of Superstar Peter Sagan and the German Top Sprinter Pascal Ackermann with Sam Bennett. But the recent new commitments suggest that the Equipe from the Bavarian Raubling finally wants to win a victory with the great country tours.
Because with Aleksandr Vlasov connects another excellent round driver Bora-Hansgrohe. The Russian comes from Astana premiertech and signed 2024 for three years until the end of the season. "Alexandr is certainly one of the biggest talents in terms of tours and we are very glad that he has decided for us. In interest there was known by some teams. We will clearly face the Grand Tours with him," Teamboss said Ralph think. Also Vlasov's focus is on the Grand Tours. "It's going to work hard to work hard with Bora Hansgrohe to develop myself, because one day I would like to win one of the big three tours," the 25-year-old announced with a healthy serving of self-confidence.
The fact that he brings the necessary conditions for a victory, Vlasov made clear only in this early summer than he finished the Giro d'Italia as a fourth. Vlasov, which brings a size of 1.86 meters just 68 kilograms on the scales, is not just a gifted climber, but also brings his strengths in the fight against the clock - he is the reigning time champion of Russia.
Denk: "Medium term is the destination the Tour de France"
Denk even trust Vlasov to climb the Olymp in cycling: "In the medium term, the goal is the Tour de France." However, the way to Triumph in Paris is rocky, the Bora-Hansgrohe-Boss only knows exactly too. Vlasov is therefore granted a learning phase in which he should evolve. And that, so think, is "at the Giro or the Vuelta maybe easier". Therefore, Vlasov will probably first have to acquire his first spores in the Bora Hansgrohe jersey in Italy and Spain.
With Vlasov Bora-Hansgrohe already has an extremely strong team at the start for round trips from 2021. With Wilco Kelderman (30 years) and Emanuel Buchmann (28) are already two podium candidates in the team. There are also new access Jay Hindley, 2020 at the Giro at least second, the Colombian climbing artist Sergio Higuita (23) and the strong Rouleur Marco Haller (30) from Austria.
