'Right now the fight is for the podium' - Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe prepare for two-handed GC game in Tour de France's long weekend of mountain stages

LE LIORAN, FRANCE - JULY 14: Remco Evenepoel of Belgium and Team Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe competes during the 113th Tour de France 2026, Stage 10 a 166.6km stage from Aurillac to Le Lioran 1240m / #UCIWT / on July 14, 2026 in Le Lioran, France. (Photo by Dario Belingheri/Getty Images).

Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe's double leadership will use this long weekend's trio of mountain stages to intensify their battle for the Tour de France podium, management say, with the co-leadership between Remco Evenepoel and Florian Lipowitz offering a huge strategic advantage other teams with just one leader do not enjoy.

While Red Bull recognise that race leader and multiple Tour winner Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) is currently operating in another league to the rest of the field, they believe the fight for a top-3 position has got much more open.
