Bora-Hansgrohe signs Bob Jungels

Bob Jungels, stage winner at this year's Tour de France, will receive a multi-year contract from 2023, Bora-Hansgrohe announced. "In terms of type, he fits perfectly into our multi-captain strategy. We simply want to add more depth to our squad to make it difficult for our rivals to count us out," said sporting director Rolf Aldag.

"I can still develop as a rider, I'm sure of that, and I'm prepared to work hard for it. For me, the change feels like the start of something big," said Jungels.
