A very exciting lineup. They don't have a winner for the classics. The first goal will certainly be to play a better role. This year, not only were the results lacking, but the team wasn't even involved in the decisions. If that improves this year, they will have achieved a lot. Tratnik could...

What is the point of this discussion? Lipo lost a lot of time on one stage because he attacked courageously... That doesn't matter either. It's difficult to compare gaps from different years. What can be said is that both were still quite far behind. In my opinion, Remco is generally the better...

I find that an interesting prediction. Remco will certainly have to ride for victory a lot in the spring, so I think the Tour fits better into the program. Even though I believe that the Tour route is not ideal for him and that he looks much better for Lipowitz. On the other hand, I don't think...

It is normal for the RBH not to make any major announcements for its own protection (and perhaps also for the rider's). Who wants to hear too much about doping involving their own name, especially when it concerns a time when they were not with the team? But they have officially confirmed that...

And in addition: He is not longer a member of the team.

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...

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...
