The biggest benefits to Remco Evenepoel leaving Soudal-QuickStep for Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe

Soudal Quick-Step team's Belgian rider Remco Evenepoel awaits the start of the 8th stage of the 112th edition of the Tour de France cycling race, 171.4 km between Saint-Meen-le-Grand and Laval Espace Mayenne, western France, on July 12, 2025.

Remco Evenepoel breaking his contract with Soudal-QuickStep early to join Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe will remain one of the stories of the season as all the move's implications play out ahead of the 2026 season's start, but what has he actually gained in making the move?

Of course, there are financial benefits for Evenepoel, but it also provides the 25-year-old a fresh start after the entirety of his seven years at the professional level have been at Soudal-QuickStep, and could bring him closer to his main objective of winning the Tour de France.
