While rumours were sending him to Red Bull – Bora Hansgrohe as early as next season, Remco Evenepoel has made it known that he has no intention of leaving Soudal-Quick Step.
Last week, the Italian daily The Sports Gazette claimed that a transfer of Remco Evenepoel to Red Bull – Bora Hansgrohe as early as next season was “possible” according to some sources. The arrival of the Austrian energy drink brand within the German team this year increases its ambitions tenfold, and having won the Vuelta with Primoz Roglic this Sunday is probably not enough. Recruiting the 24-year-old Belgian double Olympic champion would be a huge coup on the transfer market. But Remco Evenepoel is still under contract until the end of 2026 with Soudal-Quick, and he has no intention of leaving. On the sidelines of the Tour of Britain, where he finished 28th on Sunday, the Belgian rider was questioned by the Flemish press about these transfer rumors, and he appeared rather detached. I don’t know anything about this. There are always a lot of things that come out that aren’t true. “I have no idea what it’s about. I haven’t seen anything myself,” said the Belgian before answering the question “will you still be at Soudal-Quick Step in 2025?” with “yes.”

At the same time, at the Vuelta, Red Bull – Bora Hansgrohe manager Ralph Denk was also questioned about these rumours, but he also denied it: “I hear and read the rumours every day in the Italian, English and Belgian media, but I have nothing to say about it. It’s gossip, I won’t respond to this gossip.” Next season, Primoz Roglic, Jai Hindley, Dani Martinez and Aleksandr Vlasov will be the strong men of Red Bull – Bora Hansgrohe. And the German-Austrian team, whose financial resources are much greater than those of Soudal-Quick Step, will perhaps return to the charge in a year to try to recruit Remco Evenepoel…
