For me it sounds that it’s already decided that he will ride the Tour, he just can‘t say it.
Specially because he said the Giro wasn’t discussed at camp.
Lipo will become automatically stronger when he loses some muscles. He still has a muscular upper body from his biathlon past, but if he is able to cut some of them, than watch out.
Sven Vanthourenhout will not take the role of „Sportchef“ aka the Aldag role at Red Bull. He will be a „normal“ DS.
Somebody else is in talks for that role.
Denk does not care anymore if a rider is German, Belgian or Columbian.
The shift from the team from german and austrian riders to international riders is obvious
