"A deal between Remco Evenepoel and Red Bull- BORA - hansgrohe imminent" according to reports
Cycling
Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglic have gone head to head at a number of Grand Tours over recent years. In 2025 and beyond however, could the superstar duo become teammates at Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe?
Well according to a report by HLN, representatives of Evenepoel and Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe are close to securing a deal that would see the Belgian link up with the team in the near future, ending his lengthy spell with Patrick Lefevere and Soudal - Quick-Step.
"In recent days, several sources within the peloton assured us that a deal between the world time trial champion and Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe would be imminent or even completed," the Belgian newspaper reports in some blockbuster news that if true, would surely shake the cycling world. It's worth noting though, that the report also suggests that Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe are far from the only team with a very viable and realistic interest in the former Belgian national champion. In addition to Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe, the likes of UAE Team Emirates, INEOS Grenadiers and Israel - Premier Tech are also reportedly courting Evenepoel's signature for the coming years.
With 12 stages down at the 2024 Tour de France, Evenepoel, on Grande Boucle debut let's not forget, sits 2nd overall, just 1:06 down on the Maillot Jaune of Tadej Pogacar and with a comfortable buffer to 4th placed Joao Almeida of 3:14 in the fight for a podium place.
Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe's current Tour de France leader, Primoz Roglic, crashed late on stage 12, losing more than two minutes and now looks all but officially out of the fight for yellow this year. Could we see a Roglic, Evenepoel dual pronged GC attack for the team in 2025? It's certainly an exciting proposition although there remains much that has to happen before that becomes reality.

- Are you MrMauMau 2.0? Nothing you are saying is really relevant. Vaguely connected, but irrelevant. The conversation is whether Schreiber impeded Brand or not.

parisbound0008-11-2026 - there needs to be space in life for pointless comments!Ketterechts08-11-2026
- That is a very lazy way of putting it but so far on this website it seems like everyone is happy to look at everything lazily, even things that annoy them intensely. All they want to do is state their feeling and position but ask most to analyse a problem or come up with solutions or improvements and you’re stunned by silence. Nobody even really knows how this all happens. It’s very simple and quick to just say the UCI did it but I bet you they didn’t, I bet you not more than 2 people were involved, more likely just 1. The UCI may be ultimately responsible but it is not their decision, this is about hierarchy, power and delegation. The fact that protest is possible also means it isn’t over and that MORE people could get involved for a thorough review which could throw up anything. It is highly likely it was a sole commissar who decided and has that power in a first round. Therein might lie the problem the UCI has to consider, is it acceptable to give so much authority to one single person when it is quite possible for them to have a natural bias or be too easily susceptible to imposed bias. Who is to say an individual in this position isn’t susceptible to collaboration with outside players with interests in the results, nations, families, teams, betting companies, etc. On the one hand we have sports where these problems have been worked on way more to reduce such problems, on the other hand we have sports with far stricter and more draconian rules not even concerning safety or obstruction that nobody really questions like false starts or stepping out of lane or zones in athletics. If cycling hastowork on itself, it would be good if protagonists (all kinds) would start doing a little more than just moaning over outcomes.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Yes, so why not make comments less pointless?Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- What a race! I didn't expect Vanthourenhout to collapse like that, and Wyseure did take the fight to Nys, but there was no doubt at the end. I also wonder what Aubin Sparfel would be capable of were he to race in the elites now. In the U23 ranks he is making good work of Giel Lejeune, who himself is among the better riders in the elites, and a top 10 contender in the big races (3rd at Kleebergcross, 8th at Berencross and 5th at Heerderstrand). In the French Cup, Sparfel is significantly better than Romain Debord (8th at Koppenbergcross and 10th at the Euros) and Rémi Lelandais (12th at Koppenbergcross and 19th at the Euros).Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026
- There really was nothing in it. Schreiber was so much faster, and Brand was fighting to stay in the wheel in the sprint. Schreiber did move a bit, but to say she closed the door doesn't make sense because Brand couldn't enter it anyway, abd she wasn't impeded.Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026
