'Remco is not just here for the Tour de France' - Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe hoping for Evenepoel inspiration in 2026
Briefly

Remco Evenepoel will join Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, aiming to boost the team's performance at the 2026 Tour de France. Leaving Soudal-QuickStep a year early, his transfer was partly funded by Red Bull. Team manager Ralph Denk faces the challenge of balancing Evenepoel's high expectations with the ambitions of teammates Primož Roglič and Florian Lepowitz. Denk anticipates the 'Sagan effect' from Evenepoel, recalling the team's remarkable success in 2019, which saw them claim 47 victories under Sagan's leadership.
"Remco stands for ambition. He doesn't just want to ride - he wants to shape cycling."
"He brings not only exceptional athletic talent, but also a remarkable mindset. His determination, professionalism, and relentless drive to succeed are truly inspiring."
"Perhaps this is also a great opportunity for everyone else on the team to develop in Remco's slipstream. He will have to endure the pressure, but also take it off the others."
"I'm sure that we'll repeat the effect we had with Peter Sagan in 2019. We had the most successful year in our team's history in 2019."
