Emil Herzog joins new cycling team

Emil Herzog, a 22-year-old German cyclist, has signed with EF Education-EasyPost after leaving his previous team, Red Bull-BORA-hansgohe. This move marks a new chapter in his professional cycling career, which has so far included three years with the former team.

Herzog’s performance history

Herzog finished seventh in the last European Championships but has yet to win any titles during his time with Red Bull-BORA-hansgohe. He often competed in the background of his team's leaders, which may have limited his opportunities to shine individually.

Reasons for the move

Herzog has joined EF Education-EasyPost for three seasons, hoping to find a better environment to achieve his first major successes. He described his desire to ride more offensively and make a meaningful contribution to his new team.

Influence of the Tour de France

Herzog mentioned that watching the Tour de France this year played a role in his decision, as he was impressed by the performance of EF Education-EasyPost. He believes the team offers a strong platform for his development and success.

Herzog’s confidence and goals

A world junior champion in 2022, Herzog expressed confidence in his abilities, stating he has the talent to succeed and proved it in the junior category. He is eager to take on more opportunities with his new team and start winning again.
