Remco Evenepoel said he felt he was “justifiably angry” at his Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe team-mate Florian Lipowitz after cooperation between the pair appeared to collapse on stage six of the Tour de France.
According to Evenepoel, speaking to the Belgian press after Tadej Pogačar's win in Gavarnie, Lipowitz refused to give him a lead-out to the line from the chase group. If Evenepoel had won the sprint for third, he would have gained four bonus seconds in the general classification. Instead, Pogačar's team-mate Isaac del Toro dashed ahead to take more time behind second-placed Jonas Vingegaard.
