His performance was bound to raise the question of his role at the upcoming Tour de France, where Primož Roglič should be the team leader despite the Slovenian having to abandon the Giro d’Italia after several crashes. For Lipowitz, the plan remains unchanged.

“The plan is to help him. He's still the big leader, and I think he showed in the past that he's super strong, and also in three weeks, he can race well. So my main goal will be to help him in the climbs. I thought here that I'm in good shape and maybe make a difference also.”

This should settle it then, all in for GC battle at the Tour 2025. Personally i don't mind if the team keeps Lipo in contention for as long as that is sensible. Somehow i still feel that the team will really need to step up and to do that early on. If such sacrifices are being made, then lets at least honour them, by winning this thing!
