After the escape of sponsors and the dissolution of his former B&B Hotels – KTM team, the French athlete secures his 2023 season within this new team which is a benchmark in the road World Tour. However, we should still see him on mountain bikes, and it is also said in gravel. Here is the first information:
I am delighted to have this opportunity from BORA – Hansgrohe. I've already gained away experience this year, but this time I have the chance to join a top team. I would really like to improve further on the road and become a pillar for the team. But my big dream remains the 2024 Olympic mountain bike race in Paris. The good thing is that with BORA – Hansgrohe and Specialized I will have a perfect setup for all terrains – Victor Koretkzy
If he already had a double schedule this season (mixing some mountain biking with a lot of road), no change: we will continue to find the Frenchman on road events but also on mountain bike world cup rounds and even some races of gravel.
I am very happy that we were able to sign Victor. We've already been a bit present in off-roading, but with Victor this theme takes on a more important place in our strategy. In our sport it is becoming increasingly important to be present in different disciplines. Together we can provide Victor with the perfect platform, both on and off the road. He is expected to continue competing in the Mountain Bike World Cup, but will also follow a lighter road racing schedule. As for the type of athlete he is, I can imagine a semi-classic or two in the spring would suit him perfectly – Ralph Denk, General Manager Bora
