Are you the next rising star of road cycling? Put yourself to the test in Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe Rising challenge.
What is Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe Rising?
A chance to be supported by a professional team, develop skills and potentially reach elite levels.
Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe Rising is an evolved approach to scouting, testing, and developing young talent globally with a shift from a traditional scouting model to a more structured, data-driven talent funnel that gives athletes around the world the opportunity to showcase their talent.
Once our scouts have evaluated your data and determined you to be a rising star, you will be invited to a Red Bull Experience Week in August 2025 at Red Bull's APC (Athlete Performance Center) in Austria that will be overseen by Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe and their development team - Team Grenke - Auto Eder.
Here, you will undertake a series of tests and challenges with other aspiring riders to gauge your current level and potential. There will be shocks and surprises, but all in all you will walk away knowing yourself better as a rider, and with an opportunity to join the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe team yourself, obtain a development contract or at least be seen by the team as a rising star in your talent pool.
