The world champion timed his sprint perfectly on the uphill finish of stage five of the Tour de France

Germany | Team Website
Bora-Hansgrohe are a German-registered UCI WorldTour professional cycling team, home of current world champion and all-round winning machine Peter Sagan.
The teams roots go back to the NetApp team, before cooker extractor fan manufacturer Bora came on board as title sponsor in 2015 followed by bathroom product company Hansgrohe in 2017.
Sagan’s results over the 2017-18 seasons riding for the team speak for themselves, with wins in Paris-Roubaix (2018), Ghent-Wevelgem (2018), and a Tour de France stage win in 2017 before he was controversially ejected from the race for clashing with Mark Cavendish on stage four.
Although Sagan is the undoubted star of the team, it certainly isn’t all about the Slovak. Fellow former Tinkoff rider Rafał Majka is a strong rider in stage races and Irish sprinter Sam Bennett is improving swiftly as his wins mount up.
Plus, the team has earned wins in recent seasons thanks to the likes of Jay McCarthy, 2017 Giro stage winner Lukas Pöstlberger and 2017 Tour de France stage winner Maciej Bodnar.
