Plus you could argue its a long term thing, Visma might be at the peak of their performance journey and the only way as Ineos have shown is then down again.I don't think they had the option to buy the Visma team. They want to be owners, not just sponsor.

With Bora it's a cleaner slate than Vismas position, from which to build up for the future and be the next dominant team.
While half the peloton have been linked to Bora-Hansgrohe ...
Haller is a underrated toughman sprinter after a hard one day race.First thing they do with the Red Bull money is to build a strong classic team again.
Tratnik, Pithie, Meeus, Haller, Denz, Herzog and maybe Lazkano looks strong on paper.
I really like the addition of Pellizzari, he looks promising.
So all Red Bull helmets in the peloton will join this team as soon as possible for respective rider. Or they lose the helmet.Now it is official, Red Bull is overtaking Bora-hansgrohe. New name of the team will be Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe.
According to dpa information the budget is increasing from 25 million to 45 million per year.
Also they want to develop a new U23 team, starting 1.1.2025, to close the gap between the existing U19 team and the WT team.
New designs of jerseys and bikes will be first visible at the Tour.
There are a few Red Bull helmets in the peloton.What stars? They already bought the biggest star last year.
Ralph Denk mentioned (in the german Podcast Sportschau Tourfunk from 2nd Mai) that buying stars is not the plan, they want to develop iconic riders even if it take some years. He pointed on red bull activities in other sports, that they are always developing athletes and not buying the big stars of the sportBudget from 25m to 45m? I guess they might reconsider their stance of not buying stars in the summer.
Then what are they going to do with that 45M?Yes, he said they won't buy riders out of their contract.
Then what are they going to do with that 45M?
So is Bora still majority owner then?Now it is official, Red Bull is overtaking Bora-hansgrohe. New name of the team will be Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe.
