BORA – ARGON 18 strengthens its sprint train with the signing of Rüdiger Selig. The 26-year-old German will move from the WorldTour to the German team in the coming year.

Having ridden for Katusha the last four years, he was part of the team’s sprint trains, e.g. the one of serial winner Alexander Kristoff. This season, Selig showed his own speed with a 2nd stage place at the Tour of Bavaria and a 3rd stage place at the Volta ao Algarve. As a member of BORA – ARGON 18 he will mainly support the sprint leaders Sam Bennett and Phil Bauhaus as well as using his own chances to score results.

Team Manager Ralph Denk on the signing: "We focused our search specifically on a fast rider who strengthens our young sprint train with his experience from the WorldTour. Rüdiger owns these qualities, and being a German rider is of course a great fit to our team. Especially for a young sprinter like Phil Bauhaus, who is just 21 years old, the lead-out experience of Rüdiger can make the difference in a race. We will use the first training camp to test the right positions in the sprint train and to put together the race program."
