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

yes they are, but look at last season, riders where hired and developed far greater than any season before. Maybe this is the trend now that Shrot is not there anymore.

When you say "last season", do you mean 2025?

Yes, this year has indeed been very successful for the Grenke team across the board, but that doesn't change the fact that the majority of their riders are leaving the team, because... well... they're getting too old.
Now, I don't know if there's room for all of them on the Rookies team for next year, but considering that there are already a couple of riders who are moving out, then I would assume that there is. It also helps that the Rookies team only has 12 riders this year, so... not exactly at full capacity, I'd guess.
Also, I might be misremembering, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that the Management of the team(s) is generally opposed to letting anyone make the jump directly from Junior to WT.
