Who is Bora's true leader???

Lipowitz and Pelizzari are the only real answer here. Riders like Hindley and Roglic can pick their spots, but aren't really reliable no more, but Pelizzari and Lipowitz are young, are very consistent, both made for GT's and still have room to grow.

And the little Belgian?

Can I be honest? Forgot he was riding for Bora. But I think Lipowitz is a safer bet in TdF.

I don’t think there is one clear leader, unless you have Pogacar, who can basically win anything, anytime, anywhere. Most other riders have their specialties but aren’t as versatile. Or they’re consistent, but not the kind of phenomenon Pogacar is.

Lipowitz is a very consistent GC rider — the harder and longer the race, the better he gets. Whenever he reaches the finish, he delivers top results, and he has learned to manage his health issues really well. But he’s unfortunately not a rider who wins a lot. Still, when it comes to podium potential, he’s currently the number one in the team.

Pellizzari might soon overtake him in that regard. He’s the team’s shooting star and has a bit more charisma, which is always helpful for a leader who’s in the spotlight. And unlike Lipo, he can win stages.

Evenepoel is of course naturally suited to being a leader. His personality fits that role, and he’s a real winner. But I see him more at one‑day races or time trials than at long, difficult Grand Tours.

Roglic is tricky. He used to be a fantastic rider who could win stages and one‑day races. But he seems to be far from that level now.

So at RBH there simply isn’t the one leader. In terms of rider type and current success, it’s certainly Remco. Lipo for the Tour, and Giulio in the future — and at the moment for selected races.

So we are back to Finn and he came close today. Tomorrow is another opportunity and lets see if some new clues emerge.

Exactly, since we both know if Rogla was the leader he’d have won via STOMP.

Some day, when the team will be good enough. Currently they are still building up but stage one was promising.
