Nils Politt (born 6 March 1994) is a German cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam UAE Team Emirates XRG.[6]

Career

Team Katusha (2016–2020)

Politt at the 2019 Tour de France

In September 2015 Team Katusha announced that Politt had signed a two-year contract with the team from 2016, and that he would make his debut for the team as a stagiaire at the Tour de l'Eurométropole later that month.[7] In June 2017, he was named in the startlist for the Tour de France.[8]

2019 was to be a breakthrough season for Politt, beginning with a second place in the individual time trial at Paris–Nice.[9] He then went on to place sixth in the E3 BinckBank Classic,[10] fifth in the Tour of Flanders,[11] and second in Paris–Roubaix.[12]

Israel Start-Up Nation (2020)

In 2020 Politt joined Israel Start-Up Nation which bought Team Katusha–Alpecin's UCI WorldTour license in 2019.[13] Also joining the team was former Team Katusha–Alpecin teammate Rick Zabel,[14] who played an important role in Politt’s second place at the 2019 Paris–Roubaix. Hired by the team to play a leading role in the spring classics, Politt would also have the opportunity to learn from experienced teammates like André Greipel.

He once again performed well at Paris–Nice, with a fourth place on stage 2.[15] However, there would be no other notable results in a season disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bora–Hansgrohe (2021–2023)

In August 2020, Politt signed a three-year contract with Bora–Hansgrohe, from the 2021 season onwards.[16] In July 2021, Politt won the twelfth stage of the Tour de France, having featured as part of an initial thirteen-rider breakaway, before making a solo attack with just under 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) remaining.[17][18] The following month, he won a stage and the general classification at the Deutschland Tour.[19][20]

In May 2022, he won at Rund um Köln.[21] A month later he won the German National Road Race Championships. Politt rode the Tour de France for the sixth time, supporting his teammate Aleksandr Vlasov to fifth place in the general classification.[22]

Politt started the 2023 season well with a seventh place at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, yet failed to break into the top 20 at any of the other spring classics. In June, Politt won another national championship jersey, this time in the individual time trial.[23]

UAE Team Emirates (2024–)

In 2024, Politt moved to UAE Team Emirates on a three-year contract.[24] He produced strong results in his first spring season with the team, riding to a second place finish at the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, third place at the Tour of Flanders and fourth at Paris–Roubaix.[25]
