Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe already made the transfer coup of the year with the arrival of Remco Evenepoel. His compatriot Gianni Vermeersch has also already been announced, as the Belgian is making the switch from Alpecin-Deceuninck. The team had previously transferred Adrien Boichis, Callum Thornley, and Luke Tuckwell from the development team, while Mattia Cattaneo also came over from Soudal Quick-Step.
Six new signings have now become seven with the arrival of Drizners. The 26-year-old rider from Adelaide is transferring from Lotto, where he arrived in 2022. As a sprint lead-out, he barely achieved any results himself. “With these skills, the 26-year-old will play a key role in supporting Jordi Meeus and Danny van Poppel in next year’s sprint finishes,” according to his new team.

Zak Dempster explains Drizners' arrival: "We’re excited to welcome him from next season"
Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe sees potential in Drizners, and Chief of Sports Zak Dempster explains why. "Jarrad is a rider with a very clear sense of his role and a sharp tactical instinct – someone who brings stability to the team who can position our fast men perfectly. His commitment, experience, and mentality fit our team extremely well. We’re excited to welcome him from next season."
The Australian himself is also very pleased with his move. ‘“I’m really excited to be joining Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe in 2026, and thankful for the opportunity and belief from the team. I am ready to take the next step in my career and looking forward to working for such incredible leaders,” said Drizners.
With Drizners, the 2026 Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe roster now stands at 29 riders. Of the current riders, only Roger Adrià's departure to Movistar has been announced. Little is known so far about the expiring contracts of Jonas Koch, Filip Maciejuk, Ryan Mullen, Anton Palzer, Matteo Sobrero, and Sam Welsford.

- Eight riders told to go for stages, and nobody gets one—hard to know what the plan was there. It’ll be interesting to see whether they pick a clear leader next time.bikebuffj10-11-2026
- Was Bernal’s 20th place really their best GC result? I thought he might have finished higher. Either way, it sounds like a rough Tour for the whole team.gearguru3310-11-2026
- Five days in breaks with no stage win is a painful stat. The team had chances, but they need to turn those opportunities into results.julien10-11-2026
- The Onley Vuelta example makes sense: a team with someone to rally around often looks much more cohesive. Hopefully INEOS can build on that rather than expecting a quick return to the Sky years.cadencekingm10-11-2026
- Thomas is right about the ambiguity. Eight riders all chasing stages can end up pulling in different directions, even if nobody’s deliberately working against anyone. They need a clearer plan once the GC leaders are out.robert6510-11-2026
- What a mess. The report makes it sound as though nobody properly explained the decision, and that’s hard to defend.jennifer1910-11-2026
- I’m still learning the rules: does moving left in a sprint automatically bring a penalty, or does it depend on whether the other rider is blocked? It sounds like Brand wasn’t impeded here.patriciaw10-11-2026
- A final decision still needs a proper explanation. If the federation’s complaint goes nowhere, I hope the officials at least review how they handled the riders afterwards.michael5410-11-2026
- Fair play to Lucinda for saying Marie had won fair and square. That kind of sportsmanship matters, especially after such a controversial decision.raceready710-11-2026
- Schreiber beat Brand on the road, so the jury needed to explain clearly why that slight deviation warranted relegation. Being cut off before she could give her account sounds appalling.lindae10-11-2026
