    Teams & Riders The Red Bull - Bora - Hansgrohe team thread

    Of course, RBH isn't the only team facing this challenge. But at RBH in particular, many riders were brought in as captains. So there needs to be clear communication about who will have which role in the future. If that works, it can be a success. Furthermore, not every rider is good as a...

    Above all, you cannot be successful if everyone wants to be the captain or co-captain. Everywhere in life, different roles are needed. It must be clear who has to work in a given situation. If a captain has a defect at an inopportune moment, or other problems, then there must also be helpers...

    Me neither. It can only mean that Danny will become a sprinter again. Otherwise, there's only Jordi. To be honest, I didn't know him before.

    I think that's a very good prediction about next year's teams in terms of the riders currently riding for Grenke and the rookies. Pagur has been promoted by the team for years and has had a lot of opportunities with the WT team, especially in the second half of the year. I could imagine him...

    I'm really surprised. Unpleasantly surprised. I genuinely thought he had a chance of making it into the WT team, and now he's leaving the team altogether—only to end up back in a Devo team where he won't be allowed to compete in some races due to his age. I thought he drove really well. His...

    UAE-Team Emirates thread

    It's impressive how UAE, especially del Toro and Pogi, are performing. Another great victory in Piedmont today. What I don't understand is that the competitors can see how superior they are. Why do they help them so often to achieve further victories? I've seen it dozens of times this year and...

    I mean, for the current season, the vacant 30th place was justified by the desire to promote the rookies as often as possible. Presumably, this will also apply to next season. In addition, it would now be possible to sign a rider spontaneously if a good opportunity arose. However, I would have...

    I can't judge how strong he is as a sporting director. But recently, he has always been given assignments at the important races. That's why I thought he had a good reputation. On the other hand, of course, none of the old bosses are there anymore. And in the end, it may well be that he didn't...

    I'm a little shocked. Today, RBH announced its new sporting management team. Nothing has been left untouched. I'm particularly sad that Bernhard Eisel is no longer part of the team. The team will miss his communication skills with the media.

    Perhaps they want to give more riders from the Devo Team a chance. There isn't much space left. Fietzke said in an interview at the World Championships that he has a rough idea of who will be promoted. Since three have already been announced, it sounds to me as if at least one or two more may be...

    I think it's great that RBH has placed so much trust in its own U23 team in its first year and is already promoting three riders. This shows potential new recruits for the U23 team that there are real opportunities to make the leap. Donati and Jasch would also deserve to make the leap. Donati...

    Teams & Riders Giulio Pellizzari: Super Sub

    RBH currently has a lot of riders who can finish high up in the overall standings. Guiolio is already showing at a young age that he can ride consistently for three weeks. Jai can finally show once again that he is one of the best riders in the third week. Lipo has also proven several times that...

    The team still has a long way to go to get where they want to be. There are currently many opportunities for breakaways in the Vuelta. However, the groups are not being filled. Things are still looking good in the overall standings, but both captains are struggling. That was to be expected and...

    There is a change: Zwiehoff for Koch to Vuelta. But I don't know why

    Yes but a GT is harder then smaller races. That is a race over 3 weeks in a row. Often much harder every day. Also from a mental point of view. I am not a big fan of UAE but in this way I like the way they go. They are thinking in a long term with their young guys.
