The 22-year-old will step up to the WorldTour with his move to the German UCI WorldTeam. Etxeberria has showcased his strong potential this season – particularly in one-day races and demanding sprint finishes. After impressive performances in the Spanish development ranks, his victory at the Vuelta a Castilla y León highlighted him as a rider ready for the next step in his career.
With Haimar, we are adding a rider who fits very well into our long-term vision.
Zak Dempster, Chief of Sports at Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe: “With Haimar, we are adding a rider who fits very well into our long-term vision. Of course, he is still in the early stages of his career, but his eagerness to learn and the talent that gives him real promise in one-day races and tougher sprint finals speak for themselves. We are confident he will find the ideal environment here to continue developing his potential.”
Haimar Etxeberria: “I’m very happy to join Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe. From the first conversations, I felt a strong trust and a clear vision for how I can grow here. I’m motivated for this new chapter and excited to contribute to the project. It’s a team I’ve followed closely since the era of Peter Sagan. Being on a team alongside the best stars is a special feeling. I’m very grateful for the opportunity and for being able to make the step up to the WorldTour at 22 years old.”
