Florian Lipowitz Targets Tour de France Return as Evenepoel Move Clouds Team Roles

Team selection hinges on his health and form, with leadership plans unsettled after Remco Evenepoel joined Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe.

Overview

  • He said he wants to ride the Tour again next year after a debut that brought third overall and the white jersey.
  • The team is “not opposed” to selecting him for France if his condition and performance meet expectations.
  • Evenepoel’s arrival leaves his exact role undecided, and a dual-leader setup is described as a possible option.
  • He said a Giro d’Italia start is not currently under discussion as preparations will be mapped out closer to the season.
  • Following a six-week break, he has resumed training and noted Evenepoel’s profile could ease the media spotlight on him.
