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

[Berniece]

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

Because I think you can combine TDF with Vuelta. Roglic doesn't need to be 100% at TDF, that's not what I've been saying. A Roglic at 100% without any issues might even be better than Lipowitz, so it would be absurd to think he should be a domestique for him. I think Roglic can ride TDF as a build up for Vuelta and go for stages as well as help leaders where necessary.

Roglic is too prone to accidents and TDF's hectic first week is crash central. Assuming he's just focused on checking as many boxes as he can while the legs are still decent I'd avoid the Tour too.

Remco also doesn't need to be 100% in the Vuelta to help Roglic

Hasn't RBH already laid out the plan for the season? Why are people talking about Roglic to the Tour? Is there some evidence that the team is putting up a smokescreen?

You've got to pass the time somehow

Is the Vuelta the best preparation for WC?

Wasn't Remco the one who won WC after the Vuelta, as we're consistently reminded on this forum?

Did he win the WC ITT that year? And was he using that Vuelta as a build up or was it his main goal?

Did he win the WCRR after the Vuelta? Was the WCRR a main goal?
Was the Vuelta a main goal?
Had he time to recon the ITT?

I saw a Bora advert on mainstream British TV this evening for the first time.

Does the kit include a motor?

Rather depends what you currently wear I believe. The big Z marketing team stretching things as usual.

If you read the whole tweet it says it’s actually 5W compared to last years jersey.

I think anyone that has a shot winning it doesn't need to hold back if the race is considered prep for WC. Remco would know soon enough in the cruel last week to back off if that were the case.
