The Tour has now finished for another year. Leaving in it wakes suffering, anguish and celebration, the 2022 edition has been one that will stay in the memory for many years. Two young riders, both fighting each day for the Maillot Juane but with the utmost respect for each other as competitors.

BORA – hansgrohe finished the Tour strongly with a 5th place in the overall classification for Aleksandr Vlasov and 7th in the final sprint in Paris for Dutch rider Danny Van Poppel. The team had a tough final stage with first Nils Politt first attacking and then Max Schachmann took over, riding in the break for several laps

It has been a tough tour for the team with some captivating attacks which just didn’t stick. Politt had several long breakaways which went to the wire and Lennard Kaemna has two opportunities, being caught twice within a few metres of the finish line. They earned many fans along the way with their gutsy and aggressive riding, picking up the team classification and multiple days as the most aggressive riders. Chapeau BORA – hansgrohe!
