Zak Dempster leaves Ineos for Head DS role at Red Bull
Ineos Grenadiers' sports director Zak Dempster has joined Red Bull-Bora Hansgrohe with immediate effect to become the team's new Chief of Sports.
The 38-year-old former pro had been with Ineos for the past two seasons but now moves over to Ralph Denk's organisation alongside Oliver Cookson, another former Ineos staffer who will now perform DS duties for the German squad.
"For me, this feels like coming home," Zak Dempster said, having raced for previous iterations of Bora-Hansgrohe in the mid-2010s. "I share so many formative moments of my career with this team, and I am excited to now contribute to its future in a new role. I know Ralph as an ambitious team manager, and with Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe he has created the most exciting project in our sport. Now it’s about realizing this enormous potential together."
