Katusha Alpecin (2018-2020)

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] and fifth in the Tour of Flanders[11], before rounding out his cobbled classics season with a second place in Paris–Roubaix.[12]

Israel Start-Up Nation (2020)

Politt joined Israel Start-Up Nation in 2020 [13], which took over Katusha–Alpecin in 2019.[14]. Also joining the team was former Katusha–Alpecin teammate Rick Zabel [15], who played an important role in Politt’s second place at the 2019 edition of 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.

In March 2020, Politt once again showed good early season form at Paris–Nice, with a fourth place on stage 2 [16]. However, there would be no other notable results in a season soon to be disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bora–Hansgrohe (2021–2023)

In August 2020, Politt signed a three-year contract with You have called {{Contentious topics}}. You probably meant to call one of these templates instead:

  • {{Contentious topics/list}} and {{Contentious topics/table}} show which topics are currently designated as contentious topics. They are used by a number of templates and pages on Wikipedia., from the 2021 season onwards.[17] 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.[18][19] The following month, he won a stage and the general classification at the Deutschland Tour.[20][21]

In May 2022, he won at Rund um Köln.[22]. A month later he won the German National Road Race Championships. Politt would then ride the Tour de France for the sixth time, supporting his teammate Aleksandr Vlasov to fifth place in the general classification.[23]

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 bigger spring classics. In June, Politt won another national championship jersey, this time in the Individual Time Trial.[24].
