People complaining about Evenepoel/Lipowitz leadership should understand that during the season there are more than enough races to share. And TDF you can easily start with 2 leaders. Don’t see an issue in both riding for the same team

If you are just going to sit in the wheel all the time and let Visma/UAE make the race, sure. But if you really have all three in top shape you should try different tactics. Long range attacks and try to create chaosIt shouldn't.
At the same time, it turns into silly season if they're clearly each other's main rivals for 3rd. Add Roglic in the mix if he doesn't go to the Giro and Red Bull civil war becomes the main event rather than Pogacar vs Vingegaard season 18.
We saw Redbull make some long range attacks this year. They looked hilarious.If you are just going to sit in the wheel all the time and let Visma/UAE make the race, sure. But if you really have all three in top shape you should try different tactics. Long range attacks and try to create chaos
Roglic wasn’t at his best, Lipo too young and probably doesn’t yet understand what he is or isn’t capable of. Remco is able to do a long range attackWe saw Redbull make some long range attacks this year. They looked hilarious.
In the best case scenario I think you can get ahead if one the two wants to attack the other long range and then be an ally after, but that seems very unlikely to work even then.

Red Bull seems to me to be still NetApp in some ways.We saw Redbull make some long range attacks this year. They looked hilarious.
Would be my guess, too.So, what does he do the rest of the season? World championships and maybe Lombardia I guess?
Yeah, in the old Telekom days, the german team would have let Lipowitz also ride the Deutschland Tour for PR. But don't know, how Red Bull will do it. And the Deutschland Tour is not only this year once again not something for climbers. But i would really öike to see him finishing a stage in my hometown so..Would be my guess, too.
Yeah. But as of now they are probably happy to just see him getting slightly closer. It's funny because as a young third place finisher at the Tour, Lipo is almost too good to target Giro or Vuelta.Congrats on the 3rd place of the Tour. Dauphine wasnt a fluke but a perfect predictor of the Tour podium. I am curious about his development as his trajectory is still a bit of unknown. Pog & Vingo look untouchable in 2026 as well but if anyone can change it then maybe Lipo: he might make another leap of performance, who knows.
I hope so too. IMO they’re stronger together. Should be interesting.I'm curious to see how Lipowitz will handle the new situation at RBH, especially with all the changes in the sporting management. While many riders have recently struggled to find their form, Lipo has delivered in every race he's entered and ridden very strongly. And he's raced boldly, which has set him apart from many others. He’s clearly been well supported by the current management. Now the whole environment is changing—and possibly the key people he’s connected with too. On top of that, Remco isn’t just a big star; he's bringing along his own trusted leaders as well. That makes it difficult for Lipo to keep his free role and continue riding his own way. Lipo is perfectly suited for hard races with long climbs. He also handles three-week races well, making him a great fit for Grand Tours. Sure, Remco can win more races—and Roglič too, of course. Remco may be the better rider right now, but over three weeks, I see Lipo ahead. Remco often struggles with consistency over that duration. I really hope Lipo will continue to feel comfortable in the team.
It will be interesting to see how he and the team evolve. Bora tried (mostly successfully I would say) to keep (public) expectations low and slowly develop him to a GT hopeful. But after his podium, it would have been a big task to confirm his success next year even without any management and roster changes.Lipo has delivered in every race he's entered and ridden very strongly.

Roglic definitely is the wild card as he is the best support/mentor either rider could rely on for the Tour or Giro. He couldn't serve both and still be valuable if the rider he supports starts to go terminal in week 3 and he's the best, next choice. It seems doubtful all three would end up in the same, primary GT target for that reason but weirder things happen.It shouldn't.
At the same time, it turns into silly season if they're clearly each other's main rivals for 3rd. Add Roglic in the mix if he doesn't go to the Giro and Red Bull civil war becomes the main event rather than Pogacar vs Vingegaard season 18.
so this is good news for Lipowitz?
