In terms of the quantity of victories, Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe topped the previous year by one. In terms of quality, Primoz Roglic's overall victory at the Vuelta a Espana naturally stands out. The Slovenian newcomer claimed the second Grand Tour victory for the Raubling-based racing team after Jai Hindley's triumph at the Giro d'Italia 2022.
Primoz Roglic has achieved the most successes for Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe. Starting with the individual time trial on stage 1 of the Tour of the Basque Country, followed by stages six and seven and overall victory in the Criterium du Dauphine. After his early exit from the Tour de France, the stage race specialist quickly recovered and claimed stages four, eight and 19 as well as the overall classification of the Vuelta a Espana.
Patrick Gamper was the frequent rider at Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe in 2024. The 27-year-old Austrian has a remarkable 92 days in the saddle, followed by Danny van Poppel (88). Gamper started the season at the Tour Down Under in January and contested two Grand Tours, the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a Espana. That makes a total of 13694 kilometres of racing. However, he still has 157 fewer kilometres to his name than van Poppel, who leads this statistic. The Dutchman completed the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France and also clocked up plenty of racing kilometres in the spring classics.
The team is in a state of upheaval following the acquisition of the Red Bull beverage group, which is reflected in the transfers. The new additions clearly show that the team also wants to attack in the classics. To this end, they have signed young riders who still have development potential. An exciting strategy. The team with its spearhead Primoz Roglic can also compete for victory in the Grand Tours, at least in the Giro d'Italia. Whether it will be enough for the 35-year-old against Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard in the Tour de France is questionable.
