'I Asked for a Lead-Out and Didn't Get One' – Remco Evenepoel Fumes at Teammate Florian Lipowitz as Cooperation Breaks Down in Tour De France
Evenepoel said Lipowitz refused a lead-out in the chase group, leaving him fourth and without four bonus seconds in the general classification.
- Remco Evenepoel lashed out at Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe teammate Florian Lipowitz on Thursday, claiming he was "justifiably angry" after cooperation collapsed during stage six of the Tour de France.
- Evenepoel noted he previously supported Lipowitz at the Volta a Catalunya for 30km, expressing frustration that Lipowitz refused to ride at the front for one kilometre during the recent stage.
- Missing the lead-out cost Evenepoel four bonus seconds in the general classification, which he would have gained by winning the sprint for third place as Tadej Poga won the stage.
- Lipowitz offered a contrasting view, telling German publication ARD the team performance was "top-notch," though he acknowledged they failed to bring Jonas Vingegaard back.
- After a 43km solo attack, Tadej Poga leads the general classification by 2:42 ahead of Jonas Vingegaard, while Evenepoel sits fourth overall and Lipowitz trails by 30 seconds.
