With Florian Lipowitz, a new star has risen in the German cycling sky. Its strong tour debut also pays off financially for the young star.
Florian Lipowitz is the discovery of this year’s Tour de France. The only 24 -year -old German cycling professional drives along the prestigious tour of France for the first time and mixes up the scene powerfully. The young star is located right behind the two big favorites Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard in the overall classification.
Ex-professional and cycling expert Jens Voigt firmly believes that Florian Lipowitz will be standing on it at the end of the Tour de France in Paris. “He holds third place and also keeps the white jersey,” said the two-time stage winner of the France tour in an interview “ran.de”. “So far he has not shown any signs of fatigue.” The white jersey wears Lipowitz as the best driver of the young talent.
Lipowitz has been the first German cyclist to be on the tour platform since 2006. At that time Andreas Klöden took second place. If Lipowitz actually succeeds in the end, it would also pay off financially for him.
As the third overall ranking, he would receive a rich prize money of 100,000 euros. The second gets the double, the tour winner even 500,000 euros. A total of 2,577,731 million euros will be distributed to premiums on the tour. Every day in the yellow jersey brings in the total leading 500 euros. For example, each stage winner receives 11,000 euros, for the daily second there is 5,500, for third place 2,800 euros, the 20th driver of the stage still collects 300 euros. Lipowitz can hope for further prize money even without a yellow jersey or a stage victory.
The wearer of the white jersey receives 300 euros a day. If Lipowitz keeps the white jersey and the young talent gains in the end, it receives an additional 20,000 euros. The day winner of the young talent also receives 500 euros each.
Voigt advises Germany’s young star to look back in the overall classification for the final tour week with the hard mountain stages in the Alps rather than forward. Lipowitz is currently the third strongest mountaineer behind tour dominator Pogačar and his pursuer Vingegaard.
“It would now be measured: ‘I attack Pogačar again,” warned Voigt and added directly to Lipowitz: “No, no – stay realistic. Third on the tour, that’s a lot more than you could expect in the first participation. Secure the podium.” That would be a huge success for Lipowitz at his tour debut, even in financial terms.
