I will only buy groceries at Intermarche when in Europe!
BG Top 5 cyclist in the world now?
Kamna to lidl trek. Hes a great rider. Hope he has full recovery.
remco would be great at ineos
It would make sense if he goes to Ineos they have a better support network in the mountains
watching Ineos now that the evil Sky empire has crumbled sort of reminds me of the English as their global empire fell apart beneath them. they lost their bite, then their respect… but they still have influence and lots of money! only difference is Ineos will have a resurgence within our lifetimes. eventually they’ll land some proper gc contenders, but it will probably be a few years.
Unless Roglic has quickstarted a GC culture at Bora/red Bull, then there is no point in going there except money and hope for future good environment. If remco still has doubts about soudal whom seemed to have taken the right steps, then the only real alternative is Ineos. They have the knowhow. Bora does not.
Whats in Bora favour is specialized and enough money to quickstart a GC culture.
The hidden gem for INEOS is Sepp Kuss. If they can get him on board, they are competitiv again
If Remco can continue to make podium finishes these next few years, any team would be lucky to have him. Anything can happen with these grande tours. Primoz needs to ride with a rabbit's foot in his back pocket with all the bad luck he has been having with the TDF.
Remco would make more sense if Tadej wasn't just a little older than him.
Ghebreigzabhier has reportedly re-signed with Trek. As far as I'm aware, Tesfatsion is yet to sign a contact, and could feasibly leave for Wanty
Last year Ineos released plenty of good riders. The focus is to develop talents young riders. It's regretful but Manchester United is a bigger project…
The only transfer i care about is my man VC.
Thanks guys.
Remco is not a GC rider he would be best to aim for the classics and could become a legend in that
Keep in mind, Simon Yates is a tiny fellow like Jonas, so Simon may provide his bike in case Jonas has some mechanical or puncture deep into a mountain stage..
remco to bora makes a load of sense, sponsors and with ROG not having too much time left in his career it makes sense. Astana won't exist in its current form next year, expect most of that current team to be somewhere else next year with the Chinese purchase of the Astana team.
There will be a lot of talk of action in Fuschl, that performance is for sure not acceptable to RedBull. Remco would make a lot of sense, as buying out Pogacar seems to be impossible. Or maybe Vingegaard? They want to win and they have a lot of money.
Other option is that they will start with young talent. That would fit their strategy, as Redbull is usually happy to build for a few years. But they lost Utebrooks, and not sure who is on the market there. For them, they have to win the TdF; everything else is not acceptable for Redbull I guess.
If RedBull signes Remco, they will sign other rides as well. Maybe even Landa. Maybe try to grab Almeyda, Ayuso or Jorgenson or someone of that level.
I just can't see Soudal Q letting Remco go without matching any offer. They have too much invested in his success. He is literally the face of their team. That said, as you stated Redbull is bringing mega $$$ in and will expect success for their investment. I'd expect the entire sport is about to see a step up in salaries as other teams will have to match some of the offers to stay competitive.
Ineos need to keep the riders that sweat blood for them , if the reports are to be believed another one of their better riders is leaving !! Jhonatan Narvaez .
These are the type of rider they should be giving a new contract to a stop the exodus
Bini made a good choice in staying with Intermarch
