UAE Team Emirates have signed Swiss rider Tom Bohli on a two-year deal.

The 24-year-old, who joins from BMC Racing, will bring his impressive skills as rouleur and time trialist to the Emirati formation for the 2019 and 2020 seasons.

Since turning professional in 2016, the Rieden native has clinched victory at the Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen, as well as stage wins at Eneco Tour (2016) and Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana (2017). He also took third at the Swiss National Road Championships in May.

“I’m excited about my move to UAE Team Emirates,” said Bohli.

“For the first time in my career I’m changing jerseys, joining a sports group that’s quite different than the one I grew up in.

“I know I’m going to find a highly professional atmosphere founded upon an important project; I’m sure the conditions will be perfect for me to give my best.”
