Fresh talent for France. For the first time in eight years, the team is fielding three Tour de France debutants, a strong signal toward the next generation. Laurence Pithie, Florian Lipowitz, and Mick van Dijke will all make their first appearance on cycling’s biggest stage in Lille.
Primož Roglič headlines the Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe roster for the 112th edition of the Tour de France. A four-time Vuelta winner and Giro d’Italia champion, Roglič is one of the most successful Grand Tour riders of his generation – and he has a clear goal: securing his ninth Grand Tour podium.
Joining the Slovenian Grand Tour star are Jordi Meeus, Gianni Moscon, Danny van Poppel, and Aleksandr Vlasov – four riders with a wealth of Grand Tour experience, bringing a combined 14 Tour de France starts. As at the Giro d’Italia, Gianni Moscon will again take on the role of road captain. Vlasov’s season has been carefully built to peak in the second half of the Tour. Meeus and van Poppel, known for their physical presence and Classics pedigree, are expected to play a key role early on – and as a well-drilled duo, they could be crucial in delivering early results for the team.

An homage to France: Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe goes blue, white, red
For the first time in years, every stage of the Tour de France will take place entirely within France. To mark this special edition, Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe and Specialized have unveiled a limited-edition kit inspired by the French Tricolore and legendary French World Cup jerseys. It’s a visual tribute to the soul of the Tour de France.
France has played a special role in the team’s history. Just a few kilometers from Rouen – the finish town of stage 4 – the team celebrated its very first victory back in 2010. Fifteen years ago, Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe won its first race on French soil; now it returns with a special tribute for French fans on the world’s biggest stage.
The limited collection of Specialized Race apparel is a tribute to the country, the fans, and the legendary roads that make the Tour de France the ultimate race in cycling. The blue, white and red stripes echo the French flag, capturing the race’s speed and spirit, while the gradient design is inspired by France’s diverse landscapes – from the cobbled streets of the north to the Alps and the vibrant finish in Paris.
Not just a replica: brand-new colorway for the S-Works Tarmac SL8 Together with Specialized, Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe is set to turn heads in the peloton with a unique, team-exclusive S-Works Tarmac SL8 colorway. A deep blue finish wrapped in subtle tone-on-tone sticker slap graphics, reflecting the team’s dynamic energy. This isn’t a replica – this is the real bike. Only 500 will ever be produced, making it a true collector’s item that will never be released again.
