Red Bull signs Remco Evenepoel

The 25-year-old double Olympic champion will compete for the racing team led by German Tour de France bronze medalist Florian Lipowitz starting in 2026. The team did not disclose the contract duration or financial details of the deal. "Remco represents a certain standard. He doesn't just want to ride along – he wants to make his mark," said team principal Ralph Denk in the press release. "Remco not only brings exceptional athletic ability, but also a remarkable mentality. His determination, his professionalism, and his absolute will to succeed inspire me." Rumors for more than a year Time trial world champion Evenepoel, who won gold in the road race and time trial at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, joins from the Belgian team Soudal Quick-Step, where he has a contract until the end of 2026. Several media outlets recently reported a transfer fee of around two million euros. At the recent Tour de France, Evenepoel won the first time trial, but then dropped off his bike exhausted during the 14th stage in the Pyrenees. He had finished third in the previous year's Tour. Rumors about the time trial specialist's move have been persistent for more than a year and also accompanied this year's Tour de France. The 2022 road world champion could challenge the new German cycling star Lipowitz for the team lead. However, the Swabian had already outperformed his future colleague Evenepoel in both the Tour de France and the Dauphiné. The contract of the experienced four-time Vuelta winner Primoz Roglic with Red Bull expires at the end of the season.
