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

[Netserk]

Lipowitz was useless again, tho

Taking Rogla's wheel until the elastic snaps is actually useful.

 

[MLKarlos]

According to a new Brunson article, the team works hard in a Evenepoel deal! I am not shocked about the fact that they try hard for him but I am shocked that apparently it is for 2025 already ^^

Remco Evenepoel transfer still in the works, Tom Pidcock likely to stay at Ineos

Sources indicate that the Belgian rider has been given a deadline by Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe as the team continues to court the double Olympic champion

Well I don't know what to think about that. On the one hand it might be cool to see remco+roglic fight 2-1-1 against pog and vinge. On the other hand pog and vinge might just brainlessly power through and make any tactics obsolete, and with remco and roglic on the same team a GT where the other two are not present becomes boring as well. If RB figures out how to give them wings and make the tdf a real four-way-fight, I'm on board!

 

[Bolder]

Any team with a lot of money should be pursuing Remco. He'd be great at Red Bull, and the company would probably kill to have him as a spokesman.

Rogle got only a few years left at this level. Next year may be the last so it makes sense to sign Remco.

I guess it pretty much only works to go to Red Bull for him, as Remco is also heavily tied to Specialized. And his TT setup could remain intact, I'm not sure he's keen on another bike there.

Lipo is a diesel climber, he was amazing in Granada. He was actually pulling on 1st Hazallanas and the 5 km before the climb proper start for the last time and still managed to go with the group. He will be the best man starting from Friday again

It doesn't seem to be

 

[AmRacer]

It's a good strategy to not having the red jersey. Let other teams do the work.

 

[cen]

Aleotti very good, Martinez becoming useful and Lipowitz threatening top 5, team seems to be getting better.

Still can't decide who has a worse suffering face, Vlasov or Mas.

 

[Oldermanish]

Another good team day. Tempo when it counted and proximate helpers if something bad happened.

 

[CyclistAbi]

They should sign Rogla.

 

[MLKarlos]

Does anyone know which riders are trained by Lamberts (Roglic Coach)?

Dan Bigham to Bora

Isnt it the second management hire from INEOS in this season? The other one was a Sports Director?

[MLKarlos]

Just from a far distance point of view those hires seem solid.
Eventhough INEOS is crap recently, I am not sure it is because of Sport Directors or Equipment Engineering

Apparently the signing of belgian talent Jarno Widar seems close:

Belgisch toptalent Jarno Widar (Lotto Dstny) gespot bij testcentrum Red Bull

De wegen tussen Lotto Dstny en toptalent Jarno Widar lijken te scheiden. De 18-jarige Belg ligt nog tot eind 2027 vast bij het ProTeam, maar de verstandhouding tussen hem en de ploeg van CEO Stéphane Heulot lijkt vertroebeld. Intussen is de jongeling gezien bij het Athlete Performance Centre...

It'd be sweet if he turned out better than Cian....

 

[Oldermanish]

Spectacular team effort and the expressions on the trailing faces as they realized how hard this stage would be when Bora stopped pulling! Mas and Carapaz showed the effort and may be more aggressive tomorrow to avoid this same treatment.

They really are Red (Bull)

Does anyone know who`s the guy on the left with the cap?

 

[MLKarlos]

Fantastic overall win. Really happy for the whole team. I think quite some pressure falls from a lot of shoulders. They are on the right track and people could see how strong this team got over the last few years.

This, they also just signed Pellizzari, one of the best u23 climbing prospects around who should improve a lot compared to Bardiani, have a top 3 junior gc prospect like Lorenzo Finn on their developmental team and might grab another top tier prospect like Widar.

IMO they are going into the right direction and will be competitive against JV and UAE next season.
