Ex-biathlete Flo Lipowitz on the verge of stunning Tour de France upsets
Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe's Spring Season Strategy Shines a Light on Florian Lipowitz
The upcoming spring season promises to be an exciting one for the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe team, with a strategic focus on one of their rising stars, Florian Lipowitz. As a versatile climber with a strong GC (general classification) potential, Lipowitz has been a valuable asset to the team in recent Grand Tours, and his role in the spring season is set to be no different.
Lipowitz's Familiar Terrain
The 2025 Tour de France route includes several climbs that Lipowitz has previously navigated, having gained experience in the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a España. This familiarity with the challenging terrain could prove to be beneficial for the team's strategy, as Lipowitz's knowledge of the climbs could provide valuable insights and help the team to make informed decisions during the race.
A Secret Weapon in the Making
Aleksandr Vlasov, another key member of the team, has been preparing specifically for Lipowitz, suggesting a significant role for him in the team's plans. Lipowitz's performances in previous races, such as his podium finish in the 2025 Tour de France and his supporting role in Roglič's victory in the Vuelta a España, have marked him as a secret weapon for the team.
Roglič as the Captain, Lipowitz as a Contender
Primož Roglič, a five-time Grand Tour winner, has been chosen as the team's captain for the spring season. However, Lipowitz's strong form and climbing abilities have shown that he could be a podium contender in his own right. His emergence as one of the top young GC (general classification) contenders in the peloton during the 2025 Tour de France has further solidified his position as a key member of the team's strategy for the spring season.
A Promising Future
The climbs in the 2025 Tour de France that Lipowitz knows could be similar to those in La Vuelta, where he played a supporting role for Roglič during his winning campaign. This similarity could bode well for Lipowitz, as he could leverage his experience in La Vuelta to navigate the challenging climbs in the 2025 Tour de France. With his strong climbing ability, steady progression, and modest yet ambitious character, Lipowitz is poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming spring season and beyond, further strengthening Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe's ambitions in the Giro, Vuelta, and especially the Tour de France.

The emerging GC contender, with his strong finishing capabilities, is poised to showcase his skills as both a team player and a potential contender, embodying the future of Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe in sports.
