I'm not convinced on the move, which should have been to Ineos with Brailford's return that would have made him a world beater alla Froome (but with much more talent).
I hope that remco focuses more on the classics in 2025. Get it right and a big win is in the bag. I'll also add that red Bull is average in the classics, so Remco's recruitment can only help.

Do you really expect a useful response when putting forth an absurd straw man?
I guess that's a dumb question on my part...

Honestly for one reason or another, Ineos have limited success with "natural" talents IMO.
So I don't think they would be a better fit for Evenepoel.

Seemed obvious. It is interesting to see who gets defensive and doesn't bother to ask for clarification.

Is he still gonna try Sanremo and/or the Ronde with Redbull. Maybe not the first year I guess. It was more about Quickstep needing a better competitor in the spring classics. Hope they can get his base level up so he got a better chance at winning the one week races.
And no crashes, first of all.

Hope your Mandarin and Farsi is up to scratch kiddo because you're going to be needing them in the races you're going to in the remaining couple of months of the season!

I'm all for giro in 2026. see if he can finally bag it after all the bad luck.
My only concern would be the weather (and crashes). Pog when he won benefitted from incredibly mild weather (and probably the weakest GT competition of all time).
then remco can come back to the TDF the next 5 years (age 27-32) in the hopes that he gets that Evans/Zoetemelk/Nibali opening.

Good move, hope Remco can avoid crashes. Imagine his career without the 3 major accidents and very ill-timed covid. I'm cheering for him.

I think Bernal was a big climbing talent until he crashed out and killed his career
Imagine Roglas career without crashes...

biggest question for me is that bora has not really shown that it knows how to prep their riders for GTs any better than QS. and several of their riders have really under-performed...often.
glad he did not go to Ineos tho. they are an absolute mess right now, and possibly headed for even more...

imagine Remco's. tho I know you are one of the posters that thinks crashes only affect every other rider but him.
Yeah, with some luck, Lipowitz can achieve another podium finish. Wonder if he'll ever win a stage.

Things which seem fairly clear.
It also seems clear that some folks tend to let their passions and bias deeply interfere with their ability to read this situation. You don’t like Remco? Fine, he clearly is a guy who seems to get people wound up. I find him disappointing in some ways and don’t always love his personality. But the guy is ALL about winning, and has a champion’s drive. That he’s up against one of the two or three greatest riders of all time is a tough hand to play. Acting like that makes him other than a great rider seems foolish.
- Remco didn’t come to Bora without leadership guarantees
- Bora hasn’t been courting Remco to level up their classics game, though that’s a nice bonus
- Going to Bora isn’t going to magically make him or anyone on that team competitive with the big 2
- An in-form Remco with solid prep is a better GT rider than Lipo
- All that said, the road should (and will) decide come Tour time

Bora made a huge transfer.
Remco can win a lot of classics (Bora is very weak on classics), however if there is anyone here thinking Remco will win GTs, is probably naive IMO. But let's wait for the next 2 years.

No GT’s at all? Not even without Pogacar and Vingegaard? Wonder how he ever won a Vuelta
