Remco Evenepoel won't race the Giro d'Italia in 2026 and has instead opted for a "normal" run into the Tour de France during his first season with new team Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe.
The German team revealed on Wednesday that the Olympic champion will start as GC co-leader at the Tour, alongside third-place finisher from the 2025 edition, Florian Lipowitz.
Evenepoel joined Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe as a marquee signing from Soudal-QuickStep after breaking his contract a year early this summer.
