Remco Evenepoel to Red Bull - BORA transfer rumours a "difficult subject to comment on" according to Primoz Roglic

The speculation continues surrounding Remco Evenepoel's future and whether or not the double Olympic champion will leave Soudal - Quick-Step. Currently, the loudest talk is surrounding Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe.
At the 2024 Tour of Britain, Evenepoel himself was quizzed on the transfer rumours, but seemed to hint that his future remains at the side of Patrick Lefevere, in the colours of Soudal - Quick-Step. "I don't know anything about that myself," Evenepoel said in conversation with Sporza. "So much always comes out without any truth in it. I have no idea what that would be about. I haven't seen anything myself. That I will normally still be riding for the same team next year? That's a yes, right?"
In truth though, that didn't do much to dampen speculation. Across the continent, as Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe were celebrating a second ever Grand Tour win at the 2024 Vuelta a Espana, talk of Evenepoel infiltrated the camp, with Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe CEO Ralph Denk asked for a comment on the rumours by HLN. “I hear and read the rumours every day in Italian, English and Belgian newspapers," Denk admitted. "But I have nothing to say about it. They are gossip and I may not, cannot and will not respond to them. No matter how annoying that is for you journalists.”
Now, even Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe leader and the man who won the Red Jersey at the Vuelta a Espana, Primoz Roglic has been tracked down and asked for comment. “There are rumours circulating that Evenepoel would join your team. Would you be able to leave if Remco came or would you stay in the team anyway,” Marca asked the Slovenian. “Those are always difficult subjects to comment on," Roglic answered, typically keeping his cards close to his chest. “It is something that has not happened yet. The most important thing is that we have found the right path with the team. We worked hard and won the Vuelta.”

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
