Bora – Argon 18 signs Gregor Mühlberger

Gregor Mühlberger, currently stagiaire at Bora – Argon 18, signed a two-year professional contract with the German team from 2016 on. The 21-year-old Austrian recently underlined his qualities by taking over the yellow jersey at the World’s most important U23 stage race – the Tour de l'Avenir. Other results of the season include the win of the Tour of Upper Austria, the Friedensfahrt and the Austrian U23 time trial championships. Mühlberger is another talented tour rider from the German-speaking countries who will line-up at BORA – ARGON 18 next season. Among his future teammates are fellow Austrian Patrick Konrad (23 years), the German champion Emanuel Buchmann (22 years) and newly signed Silvio Herklotz (21 years old).

“Without doubt, Gregor belongs to the most talented stage race riders in the U23 category and therefore we are pleased to welcome him at Bora – Argon 18. Last year, we recommended him to ride one more year in the U23 and this decision paid off. Gregor has further developed his extraordinary qualities. He can climb, is strong in time trials and also quite experienced tactically given his young age. For him, the transition to us will be a smooth one because he got to know the team and our processes already as a stagiaire in the last two years”, Ralph Denk, team manager of Bora – Argon 18, comments the signing.
