With two potential podium finishers, Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe is among the favourites for the Tour de France
As was the case last year, the German team intends to go on the offensive with a two-man lead-out, although one of the two positions has been filled by a different rider: Instead of former star Primož Roglič, world champion and Olympic gold medallist Remco Evenepoel is now the designated leader, whilst Florian Lipowitz – who is the same age and finished third in last year’s Tour – is team manager Ralph Denk’s second ace up his sleeve.
Remco Evenepoel had already achieved some success in the spring, with his victory in the Amstel Gold Race being the highlight. However, in the smaller stage races in the run-up to the Tour, Florian Lipowitz made a much stronger impression, particularly on the climbs. He won the Tour of Slovenia in mid-June in commanding fashion, although none of his main rivals were on the start line there. Last year, the division of roles at the Tour was clear early on, given that Primož Roglič was unavailable. How the two podium contenders will gel this year will be one of the most intriguing questions of this Tour.
