It’s official: Remco Evenepoel has joined BORA-hansgrohe. But this move is far more than a high-profile contract. It signals a bold new chapter for both the rider and the team — one that could reshape the landscape of professional cycling as we know it.

At just 25, Evenepoel is already a household name. With a Vuelta a España title, a World Championship, and multiple stage wins across prestigious tours, the Belgian prodigy has established himself as one of the sport’s most explosive talents. His aggressive style, time-trial dominance, and climbing prowess make him a rare all-rounder — and exactly the kind of rider a team builds its future around.

For BORA-hansgrohe, this is more than a signing — it’s a statement of intent. Long considered a strong contender in the WorldTour, BORA has often hovered just below the dominant powerhouses like Jumbo-Visma, INEOS Grenadiers, and UAE Team Emirates. With Evenepoel onboard, they’re no longer content with being in the shadows.

“This marks the beginning of a new era,” said BORA’s team manager in a press release. “We’re not here just to participate anymore. We’re here to win — and win big.”

Indeed, the team’s ambitions are now crystal clear: Grand Tour victories, leadership status, and a long-term plan built around one of the sport’s brightest stars. Evenepoel brings with him not just talent, but also a winning mentality and a growing global fanbase. For sponsors, fans, and the peloton alike, this partnership is impossible to ignore.

There are still questions to be answered — how well Evenepoel will adapt to a new team environment, what his race calendar will look like, and how he’ll handle pressure as BORA’s undisputed leader. But one thing is certain: the 2026 season is already shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent memory.

With this move, BORA isn’t just aiming for podiums — they’re aiming for legacy. And with Remco Evenepoel leading the charge, the cycling world should be ready for a new order to rise.
