BORA hansgrohe German Professional CyclingBand of Brothers

TEAM HISTORY

Already in 2005 Ralph Denk established a Mountainbike Team called “Giant Racing Team”. He celebrated many successes, including overall victory in the 2006 World Cup.

 

In spite of this, road cycling remained his passion and since 2010 he founded a professional road cycling team today known as BORA - hansgrohe.
