After rounding out the podium at the Critérium du Dauphiné, Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe rider Florian Lipowitz finds himself in esteemed company at the Tour de France, yet again behind none other than Pogačar and Vingegaard. The young German has had a breakthrough season and is currently the custodian of the white jersey – and also ahead of his team leader, Primož Roglič, in third place on the general classification.
It appears as though a background in alpine sports is a secret sauce on the team. Not only did Roglič have a successful career as a ski jumper, but Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe Rookies rider Lennart Jasch is also a former German speed skater. To commemorate leading the white-jersey competition, the team, together with Lumarcolors, has created a one-off, special-edition Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8.
