Tourplatz three for Lipowitz tangible – Evenepoel gets out
The last tour stage in the Pyrenees is too heavy for Remco Evenepoel. The double Olympic champion from Belgium gives up. Florian Lipowitz should benefit from this.
Double Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel is out of the race at the Tour de France. The 25-year-old Belgian rose from Pau to Luchon-Superbagnères almost 100 kilometers from the bike on the heavy Pyrenees stage to Luchon Superbagnères and gave up. At that time, even at this point in the overall classification, Evenepoel was a place ahead of the German young star Florian Lipowitz.
The Belgian wore the white jersey of the best young professional on the tour. Now Lipowitz, who was in fourth place in the overall ranking before the stage behind Evenepoel, has the best chance of slipping into the white dress.
Even on the climb to the legendary Col du Tourmalet, Evenepoel was visible and was no longer able to go the pace of Tadej Pogacar, Jonas Vingegaard and Lipowitz. He still gave a young fan his drinking bottle, then climbed off the bike completely invalid and sat down in the team car.
