Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe about to sign the coach that has led Remco Evenepoel to Olympic gold
CyclingWednesday, 23 October 2024 at 17:30
Sven Vanthourenhout is Belgium's national team coach on the road and gravel at least where he has a very strong presence and has guided the team's to many World Championships and Olympic medals. After four years managing many egos and stars, he is set to make the step into World Tour where a top team is eager to have him on board.
Recently he has told Wielerflits that "I have had very fair discussions with three teams and because it concerns a management position, these were serious job interviews. We are now in the phase in which a correct proposal has to be made to me. I will then weigh these proposals against each other and thus determine which path I will take.” It is determined that Soudal - Quick-Step was one, a second team was not made public, and the third and most likely destination for Vanthourenhout is Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe.
It is expected that this signing will be announced in the coming weeks as the German team prepares for the 2025 season. With extra budget the team has signed many riders, but is also making the effort to build a strong and experienced staff team to prepare and lead them throughout the calendar.

- When I play football (soccer) with friends, I know I'm not able to do what Messi does, even in his older age. When I play basketball with friends, I'm not Jason Tatum or that new college kid, Cooper Flagg. When one person wins nearly all the F1 races in a season, as happens so often, does that mean we've lost the magical closeness of Fangio to what driving on real roads used to be like? I expect to watch stellar athletes when I watch professional sports, and I know how hard they work to arrive at those skills and efforts. (My daughter was a semi-professional athlete, and now coaches. The training involved is unreal.) When I go for a ride through the local hills, I know I'm slow (I'm also past 50 by a chunk). My bike is slow, my legs are slow, I'm so much slower than I once was, and I love every moment of being out on 2 wheels. My enjoyment of the sport has nothing to do with how good the pros are. Any athlete treating this remotely like an amateur sport (in terms of weight training, nutrition, lack of altitude camps, and so on) will not succeed. Sky, then Jumbo Visma, then UAE, made the sport more precise, more focused, and harder to win. That's what the pro in professional means, doesn't it?RidesHills01-05-2025
- MSR no competition? From the Cipressa onward, that was the most amazing MSR finish I've ever watched! Same with Paris-Roubaix, which together with Flanders had the racing start much, much earlier than before. Perhaps by the finale things are decided, in some cases, but the racing has been incredible.RidesHills01-05-2025
- Anyone who isn’t, isn’t close to their limit. Limits are very different from one person to the next but unless you have a mental incapacity, you should always be scared at your limit, if you’re not, you probably won’t live long.Mistermaumau01-05-2025
- That’s most likely true yes.Mistermaumau01-05-2025
- I once rode on a chainy with Wiggins, that was soo cool, before he won the Tour, he looked like he was in great condition 👍
leedorney01-05-2025 - I think I'm related to Jonas. I'm always scared of descents and crashes during our weekly group rides.Ride197401-05-2025
- This is what happens when your training partner is Pog.....😊
Senna196001-05-2025 - That was nice of Jonas to give this guy a great memory he'll have forever. From this photo it looks like Jonas has some muscle back that he lost last year after his crash, hopefully this means the Tour will be more competitive between him and Tadej.awp01-05-2025
- He and Pogacar both have taken insane risks on descents, particularly in time trials. I have to imagine most cycling fans would be happy to see them back off a bit.
