Remco Evenepoel transfer still in the works, Tom Pidcock likely to stay at Ineos
Sources indicate that the Belgian rider has been given a deadline by Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe as the team continues to court the double Olympic champion
We have learned from several sources that a possible transfer involving Remco Evenepoel to Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe is being worked on and that the Belgian star has been given a deadline at which point he must decide on his long-term future. One source has told us that the deadline could be as close as the end of the week.
Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe have been chasing Evenepoel for over a year, and despite signing Primož Roglič at the start of the season - and a host of other riders this summer - the team are keen to build on their position and solidify a future around the Belgian rider.
The obvious sticking point is that Evenepoel has a contract with Soudal Quick-Step until the end of 2026 and the Soudal management has sacrificed several riders and goals in the last few seasons in order to provide the 24-year-old with the best support possible.
