Olympic champion Evenepoel to join Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe team
The 25-year-old former Vuelta a Espana winner, who won gold in the road race and time trial at last year's Paris Games, joined Soudal Quick-Step in 2019, and was contracted to the team until the end of 2026.
"Representatives of Remco informed the team's management that he did not wish to discuss an extension of his current agreement," Soudal Quick-Step said in a statement.
"The team's ownership and management have decided that it is in best interest of everyone to agree that Remco can move at the end of the current 2025 season."
In December, Evenepoel collided with the open door of a vehicle while training in Belgium, suffering multiple fractures, a dislocated collarbone and contusions to both lungs.
He underwent surgery and worried he might have to retire, but returned to competition in April.
Evenepoel was third overall when he abandoned the Tour de France during the 14th stage last month.

Noah Lyles and Kenny Bednarek to renew intense rivalry at the 2025 Lausanne Diamond League
Photo: Top sprinters Noah Lyles and Kenny Bednarek will have another intense rivalry race in the 100-m event at the upcoming 2025 Lausanne Diamond League, following their recent heated showdown at the USA Track and Field Championships. Both athletes had an argument on Aug 2, after Lyles stared down his rival when he finally crossed the 200-m finish line, just 0.04 seconds ahead. Moreover, there was tension between the two ever since the 2024 Paris Olympics, when Bednarek accused Lyles of being 'unsportsmanlike.' With this, Bednarek declared: 'What he said didn't matter, it's just what he did… It's a respect factor. He's fresh. Last time we lined it up, I beat him, that's all I can say. Next time we line up, I'm going to win. That's all that matters.' Bednarek won silver in the 200-m event at the 2024 Paris Olympics and defeated Lyles, who won bronze. Lestile Tebogo from Botswana won gold. 'We'll go fresh and we'll see what happens. Because I'm very confident I can beat him. That's all I can say,' Bednarek added. In response, Noah Lyles stated: 'If they ain't gonna beat me now, they ain't gonna beat me ever.' On social media, netizens expressed that they are thrilled about the intense rivalry between the athletes and remarked: 'This is what track and field needs!! Add a little fire to the mix. Great race,' 'Finally some bad blood in track again.. LOVE IT,' and 'Don't really mind this actually. You can call it unsportsmanlike, but on the other hand… It is still competitive sport on the highest level. It's not like they're tripping each other.' Noah Lyles vs. Kenny Bednarek didn't disappoint in a tense 200m. 🍿 📺 NBC & Peacock — NBC Olympics & Paralympics (@NBCOlympics) August 3, 2025 In similar news, Noah Lyles also had a much-awaited competition against Tyreek Hill. However, the anticipated race did not push through. Unfortunately, Lyles canceled the race despite all arrangements being prepared and the race being all set. The Olympic champion stated the reason for the cancellation: 'We were very deep into creating the event… In fact, it was supposed to happen this weekend. Unfortunately, there were some things, complications, and personal reasons that it just didn't come to pass, but we were full on. We were going to shut down New York's Times Square and everything, it was going to be a lot of fun.' The tension started between them when Noah Lyles won the 100-metre gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He and Tyreek Hill, a Miami Dolphins receiver, have been engaging in trash talk since then, and this has been fueled by Hill's challenge to race against Lyles in a 50-metre race.

Serie A players to face automatic 25% pay cut if relegated
ROME :Italian top-flight players will see their salaries slashed by 25 per cent if their teams are relegated to Serie B, under a new agreement between the Italian Footballers' Association and Serie A. The five-year agreement was announced on Tuesday. The pay cut is aimed at easing the financial strain on clubs that drop out of Serie A and will apply to all contracts signed after September 2, 2025 - the end of the transfer window. The new system automatically reduces salaries unless otherwise stipulated in a player's contract. Existing deals will remain subject to previously agreed terms. If a team earns promotion back to Serie A, affected salaries will return to their original value. The collective bargaining agreement also introduces a minimum salary structure based on a player's age, which cannot be lowered even after relegation.
