Bora–Hansgrohe (UCI Code: BOA) is a cycling team established in 2010 with a German UCI Professional Continental license.

In late June 2016, days before the 2016 Tour de France, the team announced that from 2017 the team name would change to Bora–Hansgrohe.[2] Hansgrohe are a bathroom products manufacturer with previous involvement in cyclo-cross, recently sponsoring the Superprestige series.[3]

History

Team NetApp-Endura 2013

For the 2013 season, Team NetApp and British based Endura Racing merged to form NetApp-Endura. The team's 2013 roster consisted of eight riders from Endura, and 12 riders from Team NetApp, as well as NetApp bringing the Pro Continental licence.[4] The eight Endura riders joining were Alexander Wetterhall, Erick Rowsell, Iker Camaño, Jonathan McEvoy, Paul Voß, Russell Downing, Scott Thwaites, Zak Dempster. The nine NetApp riders retained were Jan Barta, Cesare Benedetti, Markus Eichler, Bartosz Huzarski, Blaz Jarc, Leopold Koenig, Daniel Schorn, Andreas Schillinger, Michael Schwarzmann.[5]

On the first rest day of the 2014 Tour de France, 15 July 2014, the team announced they had secured sponsorship with German cooking surface and extractor manufacturer BORA. The team for 2015 onwards will thus be known as Team BORA. The team will be the first German team with a German title sponsor in the professional peloton since 2010. Team manager Ralph Denk expressed hope that BORA's backing would help the team achieve their aim of joining the UCI World Tour by 2017.[6] After the end of the 2014 Tour de France, it was announced that starting in 2015 the team would ride bicycles from Canadian company, Argon 18, which would also be the team's second title sponsor.[7]

Following the announcement that Peter Sagan would join the team on a three-year deal from 2017, in August 2016 Specialized Bicycle Components announced that they would replace Argon 18 as the team's bike sponsor, having also agreed a three-year agreement to supply the team's bicycles, helmets, shoes, tires, and wheels.[8]
