As per reports of <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cirogazzetta\/status\/1939006047248584999\" target=\"_blank\">Gazzetta dello Sport<\/a>, Evenepoel&#8217;s key man <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclinguptodate.com\/mattia-cattaneo\" title=\"Mattia Cattaneo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mattia Cattaneo<\/a> is on his way to join rival team <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclinguptodate.com\/red-bull-bora-hansgrohe\" title=\"Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Bull &#8211; BORA &#8211; hansgrohe<\/a> from next season.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Cattaneo raced the Giro d&#8217;Italia earlier this season, finishing 4th in a stage 10 time trial, but otherwise it was a slightly disappointing race for the home rider with team leader Mikel Landa out of Giro after only one stage. Cattaneo is a reliable rider in the mountains as well as a strong timetrialist &#8211; qualities he will certainly get to put to use at his new employer.<\/p>\n<p>The German team backed by Austrian beverage giant doesn&#8217;t hide their intentions to build a super team and, of course, a super team can&#8217;t settle for less than a Tour de France victory. While Primoz Roglic may not fulfill his long-time dream to win Grande Boucle, the rising generation lead by Florian Lipowitz and young talent Lorenzo Finn give a good reason for optimism.<\/p>\n<p>And the 34-year-old Cattaneo shguld bring the necessary experience as well as quality to help the young guns and Roglic alike, to rise beyond their limits and achieve spectacular victories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Soudal &#8211; Quick-Step made it clear with their signings in past years that Remco Evenepoel&#8217;s bid for Tour&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223188,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4104],"tags":[4230,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-223187","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-cycling","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114765001178891380","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223187\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
