Summary

Johan Bruyneel, George Hincapie, and Spencer Martin break down the off-season's top transfers, including the big money moves of Remco Evenepoel to Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, Juan Ayuso to Lidl-Trek, and Biniam Girmay to NSN, and debate if these massive sums are ultimately worth it, or if Ineos' lower-key strategy is the way to go. They also discuss Visma's restrained off-season, Soudal-QuickStep's Classics resurgences, and Johan reveals where Derek Gee will be riding in 2026.
