After Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe has strengthened itself with many young talents for the coming seasons, now experience enters the team. Jan Tratnik will join the German WorldTeam from 2025 onwards.
The 34-year-old Slovenian is currently riding his most successful season and proves his great experience. Especially the start of the year was perfect: second in Murcia, third at the Clásica Jaén, which his future teammate Lazkano won, and third overall at the Volta ao Algarve behind Dani Martinez. He crowned his first two weeks of the season by winning the WorldTour classic Omloop Het Nieuwsblad.
Jan Tratnik already raced all the monuments, all the Grand Tours, the World Championships and the Olympic Games. An eighth place in the Olympic road race in Paris rounds out his strong year.

“Maybe I'm not the youngest, but I'm really happy to join a team with so many ambitions. I still have a lot of personal goals, but I also want to share my experience with the young guys and help the team push the limits in all areas.”

“Talent needs experience. That's why it was important for us to sign someone who has been in the peloton for several seasons. Jan is a prime example of a rider who is both a team player and has the hunger and strength to succeed on his own.”
