What should he do if they say no?So Remco was supposedly offered 10 millions per year and he declined. IMHO Rogla should now demand a pay raise.

Great to see Kittel and even Froome in this clip.
Joke is on UAE now that Rogla is finally discovering zone 2
They could also invest in better domestiques and young riders Roglic can mentor. I don't know him in any way but he doesn't seem like a greedy individual. He wants to get paid and get the support he's supposed to get rather than be abandoned after hitting a hay bale and see Wout tow his teammate to a new career. That'd sting.Why would they say no? Rogla saved them 10 millions, they can split that in half. Or at least to turn it in a bonus for the Tour win. Only fair.
Bora on paper have a great lineup for GTs. I was a bit surprised they didn't bid for Hirschi,All in all likely at least some of that money to be turned into bonuses and that should be motivational and beneficial for all going into 2025 season. As for what comes after 2025 season we will worry about such things then. For now i would say things are rather good, likely better then ever.
RB's model in other sports is the long view for product exposure as you pointed out. Being in the game is a good start on that count.Bora on paper have a great lineup for GTs. I was a bit surprised they didn't bid for Hirschi,
That said, it looks like RB are wisely playing a long game. They will need to make sure they have a rider on the level of Pogacar or Vingegaard to make the investment worthwhile, i.e. a transcendent TdF winner who can be the face of an international brand.
I don't exactly know Red Bull's thinking but I can only assume their ultimate goal is a Tour win, with Red Bull jerseys and helmets standing atop the podium on the Champs Elysees.
Maybe they could make a bid for Vingegaard when his contract is up, if he's still winning GTs? If bid for Remco is true, then I wouldn't be surprised to see that.
But maybe a wiser investment at the moment is developing infrastructure and scouting acumen to find that rider themselves.
Yeah, a Vonn or Pogi with that kind of star power + generational talent would be a bit of a unicorn right now, for anyone. Agreed that Vingegaard is probably too shy to be a face of the brand but if he got them a TdF win...Roglic has his charms but he's more of a stopgap.RB's model in other sports is the long view for product exposure as you pointed out.

They also appear to let their sponsored vehicles (pun intended) to develop professionally. On that count buying the expensive contract of a limited use motor like Vindegaard might not be a problem but if he doesn't beat Pogacar next year his stock will not rise to the point RB would focus on him. Jonas also would need to develop some marketable charisma; he's not Lindsay Vonn or Max. They should support the team's apparent plan to build their own rider network to assure as much exposure as possible until they win a Tour.

Too bad MvdP seems to be locked in to Alpecin. He'd be a great arch-villain for Red Bull.
Do to them knowing Roglic wanted out of Visma. They got who they could get.And yet they went with Rogla, so maybe some of you are selling him short. Neither Pogi, Jonas or Remco are riding for Red Bull.
Rogla does.
Meh, instead of coreographed Aikido stuff he should take some Judo lessions to learn to fall properly.
He needs the luck Nibali always hadAbi my dabi is Roglic doing the Tour next year? Roglics the last dance?
How ironic would it be with his share of unluck that he rides it with all the luck in the world and all the stars alligned this one time and everyother contender crash out - and he wins in Paris. Would honestly be hillarious and somewhat nice. Roglic a good guy.
