Remco Evenepoel's professional career has always been on a fast track and so it is no surprise that he was ultimately tempted by the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe's riches and opportunities so he can ride for a team with proven Tour de France credentials, ambitions and a budget to fund it all.
Evenepoel has yet to prove he can really challenge Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) but he wants to give himself the best possible chance in the next few years and position himself for the post-Pogačar Tour, which could begin as soon as 2029.
