Ever since joining the Bora Team, Rolf Aldag had only one mission: to help the team build a roster of cyclists capable of contending for a Grand Tour championship.
He knew the team's owner, Ralph Denke, was highly ambitious. Even though the team was still young, its owner's drive to conquer the Grand Tours of road cycling had never faltered.
However, in the years after Sagan, the team's results had been less than ideal. That was why he had been invited to join, tasked with managing strategic planning and the cyclists.
Ralph Denke gave him a great deal of authority. Matters like constructing the team's roster and planning race tactics were almost entirely handled by Aldag himself.
His management style was known for promoting youth development and building a pipeline of talent, so an exceptionally gifted young cyclist like Huang Chong was exactly the type of rider he was looking for.
