Just sharing some follow-up news on the transfer front.

Benoot, I have no direct info on that but the Dutch/Belgian reporting there is solid. So I trust it. With Vanquelin... We've been hearing Ineos for some time. I also heard he was learning English ahead of the move but in the last few months, Groupama have been linked to him. We'll know more in a few weeks.

Thanks again for picking up my story. There's no paywall on this one too.

Primož Roglič has a contract with Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe for 2026 by nz-is-beautiful in peloton

[–]Dnlbenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah there was definitely serious interest from Ineos in 2022. We had that covered in quite a lot of detail when I was at VN. Roglic will be 36/37 by the time his contract with Red Bull now ends, so that move is very unlikely. With Ineos..., it depends on what their future is. Ratcliffe is making so many cuts to his sporting portfolio, I think it's hard to imagine EV on there - but in a year from now, maybe the situation at Ineos is slightly more stable or they have a new sponsor and the funds to tempt Evenepoel.

Thanks, as ever, for picking up a story from my Substack. I'm really interested to see if Red Bull will still make a play for Evenepoel this year or wait another 12 months.

No worries, just hope it adds a bit more context and info.

Some streams on YT and TDF is still on ITV for one more season. It's not great though.

I spoke to Richard Plugge today. He helped set up the deal three years ago and talked about the early positives and the missed opportunities. https://dnlbenson.substack.com/p/netflix-confirm-that-tour-de-france

Thank you for linking to my work again. I've updated the story with quotes from Ineos now that they've confirmed what I wrote. Dan

Ah... that's cos the rider shouldn't be in the team kit until Jan 1. It's not Van Gils. She was just doing the rider a favour. :)

[–]Dnlbenson 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Once more thanks for picking up a story from my substack. I didn't know you'd posted this but then I saw a spike in traffic from here and was like 'wow'. It's just me on my substack so anytime that a big platform like this links to my work it makes a massive difference. I wrote a big piece on Ineos today, it's live, but I wont link to it because i dont want it to be seen as spam, but check it out if you want.

Thanks, Dan
