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

You can't wait until the end of August for a rider like Roglič to ride his first GT of the season. He'll definitely do La Vuelta, the only question now is Giro or Tour.

If they think he can be competitive in TDF and Vuelta he should do the TDF. If they think riding TDF will make him a bit too tire for the Vuelta, he should ride the Giro. I would focus on getting that 5th Vuelta win, it's a realistic goal.

So, after the Giro Route presentation yesterday it is quite obvious that it is a quite good route for Remco. How would you set up the team for the GTs?

My take would be something like:

Giro:
Remco
Giulio
Hindley
Cattaneo
Aleotti


Tour:
Remco
Lipo
Hindley
Vlasov
Cattaneo


Vuelta:
Roglic
Martinez
Giulio
Aleotti

Martinez will also be joining the Giro (alternatively, he will be sent to the Tour once he is back in top form).
In terms of stages, Meeus or van Poppel could also ride the Giro for the sprints

Giro:
Remco, Giulio, Hindley, Cattaneo, Aleotti, Meeus, Fisher-Black, Zwiehoff

Tour:
Lipo, Remco, Hindley, Vlasov, Denz, Van Poppel, Martinez, Moscon

Vuelta:
Roglic, Giulio, Aleotti, van Gils, Wandahl, Piethie, Tratnik, Van Dijke

From what we can gather based on interviews, Rog wants to go to the Tour + Vuelta.

Would be weird if they don't do that. They just need to properly manage everyones expectations. You can go for your own GC, until any of Lipo, Roglic, Evenepoel has a shot at victory. If that's not the case, you do you.

Those three all sharing lead at the Tour will be a complete disaster imo

I can also see that go completely wrong if riders don't want to help each other. It depends a bit on what Roglic wants to do. Does he want to go for GC or stages.
