The 2016/2017 year was a significant year for cycling. We have seen growth in non-traditional areas and decline in some of our foundation offerings. There is no doubt that traditional cycling clubs are being impacted by changing expectations around amenities, race offerings and participants time limitations. This impact is further exacerbated with cycling expansion into the digital space enabling cyclists to compete in their own lounge rooms in virtual communities where progress is tracked and rewarded. With this in mind we have begun to reframe how we think about cycling. Cycling is a life skill, a life style choice and means of transport for many. It is a proven pathway to health and wellbeing, and our clubs can, and do, offer so much more than racing. They offer the opportunity to belong, to be a part of something greater than yourself and the chance to connect with community. We are a sport that is steeped in culture and tradition but we are more than a sport, we are an active pursuit for people that provides a fun, social outlet, that is also an important life skill. We are more than a sport. 1.

    BORA – hansgrohe starts its World Tour campaign. Gandia, December 2016. During the first training camp of the season, the new UCI World Team BORA – hansgrohe, presented it’s official team kit for the 2017 racing season. The team from Raubling, Germany has set ambitious goals for itself for their first season in the UCI World Tour. Along with BORA, who are now entering their 3rd season as main sponsor, the new title sponsor hansgrohe and the new partner Specialized enabled team manager Ralph Denk to build a strong group of riders around UCI double World Champion Peter Sagan. Below you will find quotes from the team manager, sponsors and key riders. Additional information about the riders and sponsors, as well as photos and the new 2017 kit, may be downloaded HERE. „At the first team meeting in October I said that this is going to be a new adventure for all of us. Like BORA is working hard on their cooking revolution, I think with this team we can start a revolution in cycling. For me it is key to have backing from the team and at BORA – hansgrohe I felt comfortable right from the beginning.” – Peter Sagan, UCI double World Champion “I am very happy to be back in the team that gave me the opportunity to turn pro. Obviously, a lot of things changed since I left. BORA – hansgrohe will be one of the biggest World Teams and I am impressed how Ralph manages that significant growth in all the management areas. I also look forward to have a lot of young guns next to me like Emanuel or Patrick.
