Dan Lorang, the performance coach of Remco Evenepoel, will leave the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe this summer. The Luxembourgese was one of the driving force that lead the German strcuture to the top of cycling world during his ten-year stint with the project he joined already in its humble beginnings. Him and Red Bull will part ways at the end of this July.
Most recently, Dan Lorang served as one of eight coaches on the team. In recent months, the 46-year-old also took on responsibilities at the Red Bull Athlete Performance Center.
Team CEO Ralph Denk praised Lorang’s impact but acknowledged the decision to move on in a press release: "Dan has played a key role in our development and success at WorldTour level."
"While I regret his decision, I respect his desire for a new challenge. This openness and fairness have always defined our partnership. I wish Dan all the very best for his future beyond coaching and outside our organisation."
Blow for Remco?
In December, Evenepoel expressed his satisfaction with starting to work alongside Lorang: "It was quite a big change, I think everything is going well for the moment. The biggest difference is that we are starting with some efforts already in the second week, especially the third week, whereas before, I used to ride for a month, just riding. But now, we try to open the volume straight away."
Lorang and Evenepoel had already pinpointed a direction which could lead them closer to Pogacar, based on the Belgian's own observations. "He starts his attack at a slightly lower cadence, then suddenly increases it to an incredibly high rhythm. It is a power effort that he executes perfectly. Really impressive to watch."

That insight later became part of the foundation of a training approach built around higher intensity. It also came up again after his early season wins in Mallorca, when Evenepoel was asked how he could continue to improve.
"Fortunately, I'm not a coach, and I don't have to decide that. That's work for Dan (Lorang) and co," Evenepoel said. "But generally speaking, I will continue working at high intensity, which I will automatically gain in the upcoming races, and with changes in pace: attacking and maintaining that effort."

- You're right about Kieran Wood, but he keeps reminding us he's the big Deputy Editor-in-Chief !?!? He says his focus is on accurate, real-time coverage and clear contextual analysis. Kieran also says he places strong emphasis on careful sourcing, editorial accuracy, and updating articles as new, verified information becomes available. So... he's gotta be right in saying Pogi is a four time TDF winner!?!? ... or maybe not!?!? LOL !!!PogiSloFans03-11-2026

- why does he have to? many GT riders from Froome to Contador to Indurain didn't do them.mij03-11-2026
- I think Jonas would have lost the TDF by 4+ minutes (at the least) and might not have even been in the top 3. Too much talent in the younger riders to say anyone not named Pogačar would have been top 3md197503-11-2026

- There was once a time when Lance was supremely popular and he used his artificial "It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life" persona to lead his mob in going after Greg. There was no one Lance did not abuse in protecting his phony hero image. Lance promoted himself as a divine megastar and he let down millions of cancer victims and gullible devotees who clung far too long to the charade. Lance is the epitome of a corrupt person and because of his power, many around him, including business enterprises, succumbed to the evil. All who got in Armstrong's way were mercilessly attacked by him and his minions. This remarkably continues today with a new generation. LeMond was a number one enemy and paid a huge price.
