The Tour de France is going very well for Florian Lipowitz. The German driver inspires the fans-and talks about his dream debut so far.
Lipowitz said at the ARD microphone on Saturday evening: “It feels like a fairy tale. I came here without expectations. I would never have expected that it is going so well here.”
In addition, due to the exit from Evenepoel, Lipowitz is now also the current carrier of the white jerseys for the best young professional in the tour. He appreciates the privilege: “It is very special to wear this jersey at a Tour de France.” Lipowitz also admits that “a dream for me is fulfilled”.
Lipowitz showed strong performances on the last stages. He finished fifth on the 14th stage, before he finished the second time trial as fourth and finished third on the 12th stage. Only the exceptional professional Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Jonas Vingegaard (Team Visma-Lease A Bike) has to be beaten in the overall ranking.
In an interview with T-Online, Rick Zabel recently said: “Florian is only now starting the Tour de France. He has already given the first samples. The next time it goes to the mountains on the 16th stage after the rest day.
The 18th stage then leads the drivers to the famous Col de la Loze. The mountain where Tadej Pogačar two years ago the famous radio message “I am dead. I was completely at the end” to his team and had to leave Vingegaard the start victory. How it turns out this time will be shown.
