I wanna see a proper fight with Ayuso and del Toro.

These days you don't need race days to be ready.
And Remco tends to ride well after resting for awhile.
Roglic has performed well enough though not at the same level as in his Visma days, and i dislike the notion of writing people off before they are truly done just cause they are a certain age. At the same time you do need to be honest. I had zero expectations of Boonen is his last few years. If I was Boonen i would not have demanded to be team leader, just one of the potentials.
That said even with the continued presence of Roglic i would still go for Remco if i'm red bull.
Speaking of remco he might have been better off riding the vuelta this year. Start with San Sebastian, Vuelta, WC, EC, Lombardia. But that's hindsight. Hopefully he will learn from this year.

Didn't he want to end his career together with Roglic? So basically if he keeps going, so will Lambrechts.

That would be a surprise, but i doubt it. Just yesterday belgian newsoutlets 'confirmed' he ain't riding it. Koen pelgrim (his trainer) saying it comes to early. Now maybe he is no longer part of Soudal and things change. But i doubt he'll do san sebastian.
If he rides anything before WC it will be Bretagne Classic and maybe Deutschland Tour/Tour of Britain (one of those two stage races).
There was an news item on X that reported he would race but I think it was based on an older startlist. I assume PCS picked it up but saw the error.

He isn't going to Red Bull mid-season, it has always been said it would be for 2026

Schrödinger's Evenepoel - Clasica San Sebastian announces Olympic Champion in 2025 edition one day after his coach confirmed he wouldn't
After the end of the Tour de France, Remco Evenepoel's coach Koen Pelgrim was asked if the Belgian was going to be present at the Clasica San Sebastian. The answer was "it's not an option" but this mo...

lol. well i think the organisers are wong.
Also Rolf Aldag has been replaced with Vanthourenhout.
Not sure how I feel about that, but Remco is def. coming to Red Bull.
Wether from august or in january.

Sven Vanthourenhout will replace Rolf. So yes, indeed, the team is being prepared for Remco's arrival.
That seems more like Red Bull is putting whoever Remco wants in team management at this point
The Red Bull - Remcos
I doubt it. Sven's transfer to the management was communicated more than a month ago. It could be just a strategic move from Red Bull to ease a deal.

Lol, that's just coincidence. Vanthourenhout did more than enough to earn that position.

That's the takeaway from this thread? That Evenepoel doesn't need to prove himself?
Really?
My statement was generally about how riders like Jai and Vlasov handeld the situation that Roglič was placed ahead of them. And since he brought changes to the team, including new staff, it was clear the focus was on him. As the Giro winner, that's something you first have to come to terms with.
Now it’s happening again, and apparently Remco is bringing even more with him. Plus, there's Lipo, who finished third in the Tour. That significantly shifts things for several riders in terms of perspective and their own chances.

Look at UAE and Visma. Especially UAE. they are managing. Also Hindley and Vlasov have both not much to show last 2 years in terms of being able to demand pecking order. Roglic and Lipo are a different matter.
No, perhaps more importantly they also poached the nutrition expert Asker Jeukendrup, who came into a conflict of interest since he already worked as a consultant for Red Bull the brand before Red Bull joined a cycling team.
He had the good fortune of getting to work with Roglic as his first job at Lotto-Jumbo-Visma. And then Van Aert came along, whom he already trained. You could of course wonder whether it was the athletes or the coach who was the decisive factor in their success.
All things considered, is that a sign of something being right or something being wrong? But as you previously stated with your list, there is room for a lot of improvement for Remco he will also have to go to a team with enough budget to keep a resilient team of super doms. RB and Ineos seems to be the only reasonable two options.

Remco showing up at the Bora HQ with his entourage
UAE aren't managing at all, you saw that in the Giro. When Pogacar is there it's pretty clear, no one comes close to Pogacar so no one is above him in the pecking order. But when he's not there it's a free for all.
When Evenepoel joins Red Bull he faces the problem of not being clearly better than Lipowitz or Roglic, as far as chances in a GT go. In fact I'd say at this moment he's slightly (or a lot) worse than them. He's no Pogacar, let's put it that way.

The takeaway is that one rider is always cut slack for underperforming, while the other is not despite performing better this year. I may have my timelines wrong but the Vuelta of last year is more recent than the Tour of last year.

Remco gets crucified every time he doesn't do amazing things. People saying he can't climb, he should only do classics, he shouldn't be a team leader for GC...on and on.
All subjective of course, but I can't see how anyone can participate in this thread and feel like people "cut slack" for Remco.

As far as Roglic goes they are only likely to be in the same team for one year and if we take what Roglic was saying during the Tour at face value I don't think he'll be that bothered if he missed the TDF next year anyway.
