Tudor Pro Cycling Team have announced the arrival of Nico Denz on a three-year contract, running until the end of 2029. The German leaves Red Bull-BORA-Hansgrohe, where he had ridden since 2023; Tudor becomes his fourth professional team, after AG2R La Mondiale and DSM. He came up through Chambéry Cyclisme Formation.
The team also announced the signing of Kaden Groves, 27. The Australian had been under contract with Alpecin-Premier Tech since 2023 and will find another new arrival at Tudor in Arnaud De Lie, with whom he’ll compete for sprint duties. Groves’ palmarès includes seven stages of the Vuelta a España, two stages of the Giro d’Italia and one stage of the Tour de France.
Denz’s own palmarès counts seven professional wins, including three stages of the Giro d’Italia, one stage of the Tour of Turkey, one stage of the Tour de Suisse, one stage of the Tour of Slovakia and the Tour de Vendée. This year he finished third at the German national championships, and at the Tour de France he took 21st place in Foix and 24th in Voiron.
“I’m glad it’s become a reality now. I already know a lot of people on the staff and among the riders from my previous teams, and I’m looking forward to working with them again,” Nico Denz said, according to remarks reported by WielerFlits.
Four teams means four different team cars, four bidon heights, four sports directors whose voice on the radio you have to learn. They say he’s joining a project. I say a bidon is changing vans, and it’ll take a spring to find out at what height they hand it to him there. At the front, I couldn’t tell you what Tudor have planned. At the back, I know someone’s going to show him where the bidons are.
It’s true, we checked: WielerFlits.
