"I read a lot of articles that aren't true” – Mysterious Remco Evenepoel responds to Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe rumours
Cycling
As Remco Evenepoel powers through his second Tour de France,
already with a stage win in the time trial and firmly the favourite for the
white jersey, rumours about his future continue to swirl. Despite being locked
into a contract with Soudal – Quick-Step, speculation around a potential move
to Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe refuses to go away.
“2026 is still a long way off. Obviously, I can't comment on
these kinds of things,” Evenepoel said when asked about the ongoing chatter.
“There's speculation, and we have to keep everyone happy. Of course, a lot is
happening, but that's been the case for years.”
The Belgian star has had to field transfer questions
repeatedly throughout the season, and he’s clearly grown weary of the noise.
“I read a lot of articles that aren't true, unfortunately,”
he said. “I had a big discussion with Jurgen Foré about this topic, because
he's also concerned. We talked about it, and everything is clear. So that's the
answer I can give.”
The reason for the potential move is clear for everyone to
see. Evenepoel does not have the team around him that the likes of Pogacar and
Vingegaard do, and Quick-Step do not have the resources. Perhaps this rumour
mill will settle itself after July.

- great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026
- Me too!!!!!Occam10-11-2026
- they can sign any 100 of top riders today but Pogi will win over Remco any time at the TDF unless something goes wrongabstractengineer10-11-2026
- the time for a GC rider to retire is when they cannot win stages, or have a significant level drop like from winner/podium into top 5/10 consistently. Roglic is still competitive and Froome raced even though he became pack fodder.abstractengineer10-11-2026
- He should be in a different team. It was detrimental. For them it does not matter if he does not develop. He should have gone to a team where they need him to succeed.abstractengineer10-11-2026
