He doesn\u2019t just want to ride \u2013 he wants to shape cycling,\u201d Ralph Denk, Red\u00a0Bull \u2013 BORA \u2013 hansgrohe CEO said. \u201cHe brings not only exceptional athletic talent, but also a remarkable mindset. His determination, professionalism, and relentless drive to succeed are truly inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Evenepoel\u2019s arrival marks a significant step in Red\u00a0Bull \u2013 BORA \u2013 hansgrohe\u2019s continued evolution as a Grand Tour contender. With Evenepoel joining the roster next season, the Red\u00a0Bull \u2013 BORA \u2013 hansgrohe is building a Tour team that will be fierce competition for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>For the Belgian, the move represents a fresh start following a difficult 2025 season, including injury setbacks and an early exit from the Tour de France. He won the Stage 5 time trial around Caen, but didn&#8217;t seem to be at full strength when the race hit the mountains. After abandoning the race, Evenepoel revealed through social media that he had rushed to be fit in time for the Tour and raced with a broken rib.<\/p>\n<p>Red\u00a0Bull \u2013 BORA \u2013 hansgrohe&#8217;s 2025 Tour de France campaign showed real promise, with Florian Lipowitz delivering a breakout performance on his Tour debut, finishing third overall, and winning the white jersey as best young rider, a standout achievement.<\/p>\n<p>Lipowitz delivered Red\u00a0Bull \u2013 BORA \u2013 hansgrohe\u2019s best-ever Tour result, ending Germany\u2019s nearly two-decade podium drought. Lipowitz started the race in a support role for Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d, who ultimately finished eighth, while the young rider\u2019s consistency and form elevated him to unexpected team leader status.<\/p>\n<p>Evenepoel\u2019s arrival at Red\u00a0Bull \u2013 BORA \u2013 hansgrohe is a clear sign that the team is setting its course to become one of the most attractive forces on the international cycling stage in the years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After six years with Soudal Quick-Step, Remco Evenepoel joins Red Bull \u2013 BORA \u2013 hansgrohe for the 2026&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47447,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[445],"tags":[49,48,635,82],"class_list":["post-47446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cycling","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47446"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47446\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
