Denk said that Evenepoel’s transfer had already had a great impact (media). “I chose to invest in a single leader rather than several other team members for the leaders we already haveadded the German. We have a more global vision. The monuments, the classics, perhaps even a world championship: these are our goals. People who know me know that I like the calculated risks. “

On the other side of the border, the arrival of Evenepoel raises questions about Florian Lipowitz. Denk claims to have had a conversation with the white jersey of the last Tour de France. “These are discussions that we have to conduct internally. It is then the Tour and who will be the leader there. We talked about it with Flo (Lipowitz). Remco is a hero. That Germany speaks of the situation is a good thing – it’s beautiful that cycling lives in our country. But we are still 11 months from the next edition. It is too early. “
We talked about it with Lipowitz. Remco is a hero.
The Primoz Roglic factor will also be taken into account. Slovenian still has a year of contract with Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe. “In cycling, we must first take into account the courses before making decisions. In football, a field is always the same, not in our sport.”
“It’s very worrying”: the transfer of Remco Evenepoel to Red Bull – Bora – Hansgrohe does not please everyone in the Peloton
Denk also admitted that she had already tried to bring the Brabançon during the pandemic, a period during which Evenepoel had extended his contract at Soudal Quick-Step. The German leader also hopes, in a way, that Evenepoel plays a role similar to that of Peter Sagan in 2019. “It was our best season. We finished second in the UCI ranking and won 47 races. Peter had won ‘only’ 4: he absorbed the pressure and the others came out of his shadow.”
