In September 2017, Großschartner signed a contract to ride for the Bora–Hansgrohe team in the 2018 season.[7] In April 2019, Großschartner took his first overall stage race victory at the Presidential Tour of Turkey, having won the summit finish to the ski resort south of Kartepe.[8][9] In August 2019, he was named in the start list for the Vuelta a España.[10] In August 2020, he was named in the start list for the Tour de France.[11] He achieved his best result in a Grand Tour later that season, by finishing the Vuelta a España in ninth place overall.[12] He was again selected by Bora–Hansgrohe as their primary general classification contender for the 2021 Vuelta a España, and he finished in tenth place overall.[13]
