Tour de France 2023: Who gets the last spot at Bora-Hansgrohe?

The last place for the most important race in the world, which starts in Bilbao, will be awarded this weekend. According to Bora, it should be a rider who is fit for the mountains, so Maximilian Schachmann from Berlin has a chance alongside the Colombian Sergio Higuita and the Belgian super talent Cian Uijtdebroeks. Schachmann has been plagued by health problems over the past twelve months. At the recent Tour de Suisse, the 29-year-old delivered a good result with 14th place.
