The mystery of Lazkano has been solved.
He is suspended due to anomalies in his biological passport.

By the way, I posted this here because we were talking about his absence in this thread.
I understand it's not a matter for the clinic because it's not speculation, is a confirmed suspension and the explanation for its absence that we debated so much here.

They're having a laugh Red Bull, Remco didn't even get a big transfer announcement either.

If Lazkano got popped when he was on Unibet they would have a big feature length film to release on twitter featuring him involved in a police chase, along with a big silhouette question-marked image posted hours before, 'You'll never guess WHICH of our riders has been involved in shady hijinks, tune in at 8pm to find out'.

If only there wasn't a doping case at TDT this year...

Contract termination speaks volumes.

Beyond that it's in between Lazkano and UCI and possibly his former team as 2025 season isn't included. Note that provisional suspension doesn't equal a ban so it's mostly up to Lazkano now, to clear his name, or not.

Interesting if the Open Spot will be filled from RBH. 28 riders, three new from the devo Team and one is riding Part time MTB, Are to less riders. Yes I know Lorenzo Finn, Pajur and some more will Ride with the WT squad but this is also risky as they should Focus on their races and not always fill the Spots in the WT squad.
For me this explains why they were interested in Laurenz Rex.

I think we will See something similar to the van Gils case last year.

you mean Redbull will buy-out some riders from other teams? tbf there are some free riders that would come cheap.
Engelhardt, Steimle, Czerny, Lamperti, Haig, Traen, Heiduk, even Lafay

Derek Gee is available. Could make for a solid domestique if he is willing to ride for others.
As well as be actual team leader in some races.

Teams might not want to touch him though

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 he has been dismissed.

COLUMN | How do you piece together the 2026 Red Bull - BORA puzzle... And can you?

"Having lots of good riders is a privilege, not a problem" applies to several teams. Will it apply to Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe? In 2026 the German team will have a sea of sharks, but without a Tade...

So it seems that RBH has a Ferrari now and nobody knows what to do with it. Just crazy.

Who is the Ferrari in this case? Roglic? They clearly say he should go to the Vuelta.
