Bora-Argon 18 (2015-present)

2015

In 2015, Buchmann denied the strong German sprinters their chance at the National Championship road race when he attacked from a leading group to take the title.[5] During the subsequent Tour de France, he finished a strong third on the stage finishing on top the Col du Tourmalet.[4]

2017

After a quieter 2016 season, he finished tenth at the 2017 Tour de Romandie, losing a podium position only during the race's final stage time trial.[4] Buchmann then finished seventh overall and first in the young riders' classification at the 2017 Critérium du Dauphiné, one of the major preparation races for the Tour de France. During the last stage, he finished ahead of strong general classification riders such as Chris Froome, Alejandro Valverde and Alberto Contador at Plateau de Solaison. Buchmann commented after the stage that he was delighted to have been able to "stay with the best" of the race.[6] At the National Championships the week after, Buchmann set up the victory for his teammate Marcus Burghardt, finishing in second place.[7] His form faded slightly at the Tour de France, where he was set to work for team leader Rafał Majka, who retired early.[8] He eventually finished in 15th place overall.[9]

2018

Buchmann opened the season strong, with a 10th place overall at the Abu Dhabi Tour. He followed that up with his best result ever, at that time, 4th at the Tour of the Basque Country. He finished 9th at the Tour de Romandie, and 18th at the Eschborn-Frankfurt race. At the Critérium du Dauphiné in June, Buchmann finished sixth in the general classification, repeating his strong performance from the previous year. He attacked multiple times on the final stage, but was brought back and finished the stage fourth.[10] He was selected to ride the 2018 Vuelta a España.[11] He performed well in the opening stages. On stage 4, he attacked the group of favourites on the finishing climb of Alfacar, gaining time which moved him into second place overall, within seven seconds of the race lead.[12]
