Tour de France: Red Bull - Bora - Hansgrohe Fields Strongest Lineup, Even Without Roglič

The Red Bull - Bora - Hansgrohe team is gearing up for the Tour de France with a formidable lineup, aiming to be a major player in the general classification. The team's strength lies in its balanced roster, featuring two co-leaders, Remco Evenepoel and Florian Lipowitz, who have both previously stood on the Tour de France podium.

Evenepoel, known for his explosive power and versatility, and Lipowitz, a reliable stage racer, complement each other perfectly. This tactical flexibility is a significant advantage, allowing the team to adapt to different race situations. The team also boasts Jai Hindley, a Grand Tour winner and consistent performer, who adds further depth and experience, particularly in the mountain stages.

The Tour is no longer decided by just one exceptional cyclist, but by an exceptional team. We believe we are bringing one of the most balanced squads to the start. With Remco and Florian, we have two leaders, both have already proven they can stand on the Tour podium. Their different capabilities give us tactical options that can be decisive.

Sports directors Zak Dempster and Patxi Villa emphasize the team's preparedness. "The Tour is no longer decided by just one exceptional cyclist, but by an exceptional team," Dempster stated. Villa added, "With this team, we have an answer for almost every possible scenario." The roster is further bolstered by riders like Maxim Van Gils, Mattia Cattaneo, Jan Tratnik, Nico Denz, and Tim van Dijke, ensuring strength across climbing and flat terrain.

While the team appears exceptionally strong on paper, the unpredictable nature of the race means the road will ultimately decide their fate. Evenepoel is particularly focused on the opening team time trial, signaling his intent to gain an early advantage. The team's ambition is clear: to contend for the overall victory.
