Florian Lipowitz is the new German GC hope discussion thread

[Faserr]

He said he wanted to be good again at the italian races. I don't think he did do anything specific for the canada races. He could have been better though. He was dropped with 40 - 50 guys remaining at the Montreal race. Perhaps he is going to altitude now.

Hmmm, not in the startlist for Emilia and also not for Tre Valli...
What's up? The Italien classics should have been his last season highlight, where he wanted to participate in good form...

At the German Sports Personality of the Year award (he came 3rd), Lipo just said that he didn't touch the bike for eight weeks due to his health problems at the end of the season.

As far as I know he would have been able to ride the bike but they decided to rest and also did surgery to his nose to fix his problems with viral infections.

Seeing the level of Bora riders, Pellizzari, and especially the 2022 version of Vlasov, I'm very curious to see Lipowitz. We'll see if he's improved and what the difference is between him and Remco in the high mountains.

Decent ride, you can do better when you getting into top shape.

Good ride today, but I would still expect him to be closer in level to Gall, who was admittedly pretty strong today. But I don‘t know how much his training has been impacted before, of course.

He said he was sick during the altitude camp.

I know, but sometimes you get sick and it wrecks your season and sometimes you get sick and it doesn‘t impact you at all. Looks like it was neither of those.

I reckon, read hope, he will improve with more hard racing miles.
