‘I wanted a change’ – Emanuel Buchmann swaps Bora for Cofidis after ten years with team

Emanuel Buchmann will leave Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe at the end of this season to join Cofidis, where he will replace the departing Guillaume Martin as the squad’s GC leader at the Grand Tours.

Buchmann’s departure from Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe has been inevitable since he took to social media to lament his omission from their Giro d’Italia squad. He insisted that he had been promised co-leadership with Daniel Martínez, who went on to finish second overall, though the claim was denied by the team.
