Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe are hoping Remco Evenepoel can lift the team's ambitions at the 2026 Tour de France and throughout the year as the German WorldTour team tries to challenge rival super teams like UAE Team Emirates-XRG, Visma-Lease a bike and Lidl-Trek.

Red Bull managed to convince Evenepoel to leave Soudal-QuickStep a year before the end of his contract and reportedly even helped fund the deal so the Belgian can race for the German team next season.
