I think Lipo is, too. It&#8217;s a strange question\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Evenepoel was clear about wanting to win a stage during the 2026 Tour, picking the stage 16 time trial as a natural goal. But he was evasive about the Red Bull team time trial race strategy, where Red Bull are one of the favourites but where the Evenepoel-Lipowitz partnership will be first tested.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure if I can reveal our race strategy. You&#8217;ll see. The start order is the start order, and the finish order is the finish order. We won&#8217;t reveal much more,&#8221; Evenepoel said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Belgian was more open early in the press conference, when talking about his relationship with Lipowitz and how it has been built at training camps and at the Volta a Catalunya in March, on the same roads as the opening stages of the Tour.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We&#8217;ve known for a long time that we&#8217;d start the Tour together; it&#8217;s something we&#8217;re prepared for,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We rode Catalunya together, and Florian was second, and I was fifth. There was one day we had to work for each other, and we made a change and a sacrifice, and it ended well. There&#8217;s nothing special to mention anymore from my side.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We showed we worked well together, so there&#8217;s not much to add,&#8221; Lipowitz added.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We can also show in the Tour now that we can work together and that we will support each other.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Lipowitz and Evenepoel know that their real Tour podium rivals are Tadej Poga\u010dar, Jonas Vingegaard and Paul Seixas.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Those three showed this year that they&#8217;re super strong, but as a team, we&#8217;ll also show in the Tour that we prepared well too,&#8221; Lipowitz said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;The race will tell. They are on a really good level, but I hope we will also show good legs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">To that, Evenepoel gave his thumbs up to that statement of unity and intention.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The world\u2019s biggest bike race deserves world-class coverage.

I think Lipo is, too. It&#8217;s a strange question\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Evenepoel was clear about wanting to win a stage during the 2026 Tour, picking the stage 16 time trial as a natural goal. But he was evasive about the Red Bull team time trial race strategy, where Red Bull are one of the favourites but where the Evenepoel-Lipowitz partnership will be first tested.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure if I can reveal our race strategy. You&#8217;ll see. The start order is the start order, and the finish order is the finish order. We won&#8217;t reveal much more,&#8221; Evenepoel said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Belgian was more open early in the press conference, when talking about his relationship with Lipowitz and how it has been built at training camps and at the Volta a Catalunya in March, on the same roads as the opening stages of the Tour.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We&#8217;ve known for a long time that we&#8217;d start the Tour together; it&#8217;s something we&#8217;re prepared for,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We rode Catalunya together, and Florian was second, and I was fifth. There was one day we had to work for each other, and we made a change and a sacrifice, and it ended well. There&#8217;s nothing special to mention anymore from my side.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We showed we worked well together, so there&#8217;s not much to add,&#8221; Lipowitz added.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We can also show in the Tour now that we can work together and that we will support each other.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Lipowitz and Evenepoel know that their real Tour podium rivals are Tadej Poga\u010dar, Jonas Vingegaard and Paul Seixas.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Those three showed this year that they&#8217;re super strong, but as a team, we&#8217;ll also show in the Tour that we prepared well too,&#8221; Lipowitz said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;The race will tell. They are on a really good level, but I hope we will also show good legs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">To that, Evenepoel gave his thumbs up to that statement of unity and intention.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The world\u2019s biggest bike race deserves world-class coverage.

I think Lipo is, too. It&#8217;s a strange question\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Evenepoel was clear about wanting to win a stage during the 2026 Tour, picking the stage 16 time trial as a natural goal. But he was evasive about the Red Bull team time trial race strategy, where Red Bull are one of the favourites but where the Evenepoel-Lipowitz partnership will be first tested.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure if I can reveal our race strategy. You&#8217;ll see. The start order is the start order, and the finish order is the finish order. We won&#8217;t reveal much more,&#8221; Evenepoel said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Belgian was more open early in the press conference, when talking about his relationship with Lipowitz and how it has been built at training camps and at the Volta a Catalunya in March, on the same roads as the opening stages of the Tour.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We&#8217;ve known for a long time that we&#8217;d start the Tour together; it&#8217;s something we&#8217;re prepared for,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We rode Catalunya together, and Florian was second, and I was fifth. There was one day we had to work for each other, and we made a change and a sacrifice, and it ended well. There&#8217;s nothing special to mention anymore from my side.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We showed we worked well together, so there&#8217;s not much to add,&#8221; Lipowitz added.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We can also show in the Tour now that we can work together and that we will support each other.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Lipowitz and Evenepoel know that their real Tour podium rivals are Tadej Poga\u010dar, Jonas Vingegaard and Paul Seixas.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Those three showed this year that they&#8217;re super strong, but as a team, we&#8217;ll also show in the Tour that we prepared well too,&#8221; Lipowitz said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;The race will tell. They are on a really good level, but I hope we will also show good legs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">To that, Evenepoel gave his thumbs up to that statement of unity and intention.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The world\u2019s biggest bike race deserves world-class coverage.
