In the current edition, Denk reports on the fifth stage of the 2025 Tour de France and the outstanding sixth place achieved by Florian Lipowitz. “Chapeau to Florian, he rode really strong,” says the 51-year-old, who now sees all chances open again for his team. “With Primoz and Florian, we now have two riders two and a half minutes behind Tadej Pogacar. Everything is still open for a place on the podium.” The background topic focuses on the special discipline of time trialing. The team manager explains what is tested in advance, what new developments are taking place, and what makes a good time trialist. With six smaller climbs and 3,500 meters of elevation gain, the sixth stage once again looks like a classic profile. The decision could come at the Côte de Vaudry about four kilometers before the finish. “But we’ll have to see what kind of stage it turns out to be. After today’s tough race, a breakaway group might make it through,” Denk says. The original version of this podcast was recorded in German and translated with the help of artificial intelligence.
