Bora-Argon 18 sign Rüdiger Selig from Katusha
BORA-Argon 18 moved to bolster its srint trains for Sam Bennett and Phil Bauhaus this week with the signing of Rüdiger Selig from Katusha, where the 26-year-old German was part of Alexander Kristoff’s lead out.
"We focused our search specifically on a fast rider who strengthens our young sprint train with his experience from the WorldTour,” said team manager Ralph Denk.

“Rüdiger owns these qualities, and being a German rider is of course a great fit to our team. Especially for a young sprinter like Phil Bauhaus, who is just 21 years old, the lead-out experience of Rüdiger can make the difference in a race. We will use the first training camp to test the right positions in the sprint train and to put together the race program.”
Selig showed his own speed this season with a second place during stage 5 of the Bayern Rundfahrt (2.HC) and a third place during stage 5 at the Volta ao Algarve. Selig has two professional wins: the Memorial Frank Vandenbroucke in 2011 and Volta Limburg Classic in 2013.
