Furenes took the Norwegian hour record as a 14-year-old with 48,7 km, but he was too young to have the result officially recorded. He's also been dominating youth and junior classes in Scandinavia and has won time trials against much older riders, including against Kristian Haugetun who was one of the top first-year juniors in the world in 2025. So he seems to have some potential.
Who has a 14 year old doing the hour record? The kid will be cooked by the time he's in his early 20ies...
Sorry, don't understand this post. Is GRENKE a team associated with RBH as a dev squad? Or you're saying riders on this team are now on RBH?
Because they don't ride for RBH? I don't even understand what you want to say
My point is that Roglic's help is useless because RBH is not required to make the race, UAE is (and V-Lab). What's he going to do, help Lipowitz/Remco get 3rd but only 8 minutes back? The only 2 guys who would be actually useful are Pogi and Jonas and, like you mentioned, neither riders for RBH. If Roglic rides next to Remco and gets droppd 3 minutes into the final climb he's completely irrelevant there
Maj Bohak is pretty versatile rider. In the younger categories he was national champion in RR, ITT, as well as on the velodrom and also in cyclocross. Last season he won Course de la Paix.

Roglic is relatively irrelevant even if he gets dropped at the same time as Remco. I suppose he could help chase but in that case they should endeavor to get dropped far enough out that they can have time to mount a good chase.
I just searched for footage of famous, selfless riders Remco, Pogacar, and Vingegaard riding for teammates instead of pursuing their own objectives. Funny, I couldn’t find any. I did find a lot of YouTube videos of Remco quitting races though. Neck and neck with Roglic!
He could do the same as he did during TDF 2022?
On the top of my head I can remember Evenepoel riding for Jakobsen as a sprint leadout, as well as for Lecerf in Romandie last year.
Worlds 2019, Remco raced in support of Belgian leader Greg Van Avermaet, didn't he?
Do you see the difference in riding a single sprint leadout, maybe two, across a career vs. asking a big champion with 4 GTs to ride as a domestique in a GT instead of targeting a win in one of his final years where he can still win? Roglic has just as many moments riding for others (the 2022 Tour as discussed, he eventually acquiesced and paced for Kuss in the 2023 Vuelta which would have given him the record for Vuelta wins, kind of a big deal, he helped Lipowitz a ton up Mont Ventoux this year, plus he rode as a domestique plenty in his first couple of years. Also, Roglic transferred to RB specifically to be team leader and compete for GT wins. He signed a contract with that good faith understanding. He has earned it, and we have no evidence that it was reduced ceiling and not injuries that impact his GT performances this year. Acting like he is selfish for prioritizing a GT result is silly unless you want to say that Lipowitz and Remco are being selfish for not signing up to support Roglic in getting his record breaking Vuelta win.
See above. Randomly supporting someone in a non-target race one time is not analogous to prioritizing riding as a domestique in a stage race in one of your final seasons while still able to compete for big wins.
True, we have three teams now. RBH cannot play games with both UAE and VLAB at the same time.
I don't agree with everything you wrote before this, but that doesn't matter as much as what you wrote last. In my opinion, Lipowitz could also help Roglic get that Vuelta win. Evenepoel is different since he actually has another big goal with WC/Lombardia, if that wasn't the case he could do the same.
I don't understand how Remco's big goal (WC/Lombardia) is an acceptable excuse if he doesn't want to be a dom for Roglic but Roglic's Vuelta isn't
