Palatinate's German championship is declined by contestant Lipowitz - Palatinate regional championship relinquished by Lipowitz, German athlete
Wanna know why top cyclist Florian Lipowitz, the guy who nabbed second place at last year's road race, ain't joinin' the German Championships in Pfalz this weekend? He's passin' on the opportunity to win the DM to focus on gearin' up for the Tour de France instead. Lipowitz is also aimin' to recover from the Dauphiné Round, where he impressed by finishin' third overall, just behind cycling legends Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard[1].
His team, Red Bull, hasn't revealed the lineup for the Tour de France starting in Lille on July 3 yet, but Lipowitz's Tour debut is expected.
After two years in the Black Forest, German pros will kick off the DM with the individual time trials in Ramstein on Friday. The road race for the Pfalz town of Linden near Kaiserslautern will take place on Sunday.
