Lipowitz at the Tour de France has been cleared up, after the Belgian openly called out the German for not giving him a lead-out on stage 6.<\/p>\n<p>The Belgian is typically one of the most desired interviews at the start of stages, but after he seemed to have undone six months of relationship building with Lipowitz in just five frustration-fuelled sentences on Thursday, everyone wanted to hear what he had to say a day on.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-974d7c9e-7c63-11f1-ab40-474289af02b0-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Evenepoel stressed how a discussion needed to be had in the evening, after they failed to collaborate as he&#8217;d hoped on the first mountain stage, but was trying to quickly move on from the drama his words created.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden

\u2013 Red Bull reveal Evenepoel-Lipowitz Tour de France leadership rules<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;After the finish, we all saw Remco wanted to be third and he was fourth in the end, so he was frustrated. Things like that happen, but we&#8217;ve had the debrief now and all good, and on we go with the Tour de France,&#8221; said Dempster, as the team tried to avoid more drama.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;In the end, Remco&#8217;s a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve, and it&#8217;s just part of the game. What&#8217;s important to me is how they are together and how we resolve these things internally. It&#8217;s a constant process to improve, and of course, if we want to be at the front and fighting for the most important results, that&#8217;s part of that and that&#8217;s it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A senior part of the team&#8217;s management, Dempster was mostly calm as he fielded repeated questions, but showed one minor sign of annoyance as repeated questions surrounding how Evenepoel handled things, how the team responded, and how they move on from here were shouted at him by the crowd of journalists.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Given the amount of microphones that follow Remco around, I suppose it is because he wears his heart on his sleeve. He&#8217;s just a kid, he&#8217;s being himself, he feels frustrated and he said it. Like I said, we handled it internally and on we go,&#8221; said Dempster, who said, as Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe boss Relp Denk did on the team&#8217;s podcast, that the pair had spoken on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;They spoke last night when we got back to the hotel. It&#8217;s tricky when you have the bus at the bottom and then it&#8217;s a rush to get back to the hotel, but they&#8217;ve spoken, and all good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The German team&#8217;s management will be delighted that these next two days should be flat sprint finales into Bordeaux and Bergerac, with no mountain action and potential spats between their co-leaders until the race heads for Le Lioran on Tuesday, July 14, Bastille Day.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">For the moment, Evenepoel and Lipowitz actually sit well placed in the race for the podium, in fourth and seventh on GC, 3:30 and 4:00 behind Tadej Poga\u010dar, but both within striking distance of Jonas Vingegaard in second.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><em><strong>The world\u2019s biggest bike race deserves world-class coverage.

Lipowitz at the Tour de France has been cleared up, after the Belgian openly called out the German for not giving him a lead-out on stage 6.<\/p>\n<p>The Belgian is typically one of the most desired interviews at the start of stages, but after he seemed to have undone six months of relationship building with Lipowitz in just five frustration-fuelled sentences on Thursday, everyone wanted to hear what he had to say a day on.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-974d7c9e-7c63-11f1-ab40-474289af02b0-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Evenepoel stressed how a discussion needed to be had in the evening,

Not from fans, but from the international press.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-WzqvrdFrVvtNUbresE7YvU\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-WzqvrdFrVvtNUbresE7YvU slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__header\">Get The Leadout Newsletter<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<footer class=\"newsletter-form__footer \">By submitting your information you agree to the Terms &amp;

Things like that happen, but we&#8217;ve had the debrief now and all good, and on we go with the Tour de France,&#8221; said Dempster, as the team tried to avoid more drama.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;In the end, Remco&#8217;s a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve, and it&#8217;s just part of the game. What&#8217;s important to me is how they are together and how we resolve these things internally. It&#8217;s a constant process to improve, and of course, if we want to be at the front and fighting for the most important results, that&#8217;s part of that and that&#8217;s it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A senior part of the team&#8217;s management, Dempster was mostly calm as he fielded repeated questions, but showed one minor sign of annoyance as repeated questions surrounding how Evenepoel handled things, how the team responded, and how they move on from here were shouted at him by the crowd of journalists.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Given the amount of microphones that follow Remco around, I suppose it is because he wears his heart on his sleeve. He&#8217;s just a kid, he&#8217;s being himself, he feels frustrated and he said it. Like I said, we handled it internally and on we go,&#8221; said Dempster, who said, as Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe boss Relp Denk did on the team&#8217;s podcast, that the pair had spoken on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;They spoke last night when we got back to the hotel. It&#8217;s tricky when you have the bus at the bottom and then it&#8217;s a rush to get back to the hotel, but they&#8217;ve spoken, and all good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The German team&#8217;s management will be delighted that these next two days should be flat sprint finales into Bordeaux and Bergerac, with no mountain action and potential spats between their co-leaders until the race heads for Le Lioran on Tuesday, July 14, Bastille Day.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">For the moment, Evenepoel and Lipowitz actually sit well placed in the race for the podium, in fourth and seventh on GC, 3:30 and 4:00 behind Tadej Poga\u010dar, but both within striking distance of Jonas Vingegaard in second.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><em><strong>The world\u2019s biggest bike race deserves world-class coverage.

after the Belgian openly called out the German for not giving him a lead-out on stage 6.<\/p>\n<p>The Belgian is typically one of the most desired interviews at the start of stages, but after he seemed to have undone six months of relationship building with Lipowitz in just five frustration-fuelled sentences on Thursday, everyone wanted to hear what he had to say a day on.<\/p>\n<p

he&#8217;d hoped on the first mountain stage, but was trying to quickly move on from the drama his words created.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\"

\u2013 Red Bull reveal Evenepoel-Lipowitz Tour de France leadership rules<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;After the finish, we all saw Remco wanted to be third and he was fourth in the end, so he was frustrated. Things like that happen, but we&#8217;ve had the debrief now and all good, and on we go with the Tour de France,&#8221; said Dempster, as the team tried to avoid more drama.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;In the end, Remco&#8217;s a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve, and it&#8217;s just part of the game. What&#8217;s important to me is how they are together and how we resolve these things internally. It&#8217;s a constant process to improve, and of course, if we want to be at the front and fighting for the most important results, that&#8217;s part of that and that&#8217;s it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A senior part of the team&#8217;s management, Dempster was mostly calm as he fielded repeated questions, but showed one minor sign of annoyance as repeated questions surrounding how Evenepoel handled things, how the team responded, and how they move on from here were shouted at him by the crowd of journalists.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Given the amount of microphones that follow Remco around, I suppose it is because he wears his heart on his sleeve. He&#8217;s just a kid, he&#8217;s being himself, he feels frustrated and he said it. Like I said, we handled it internally and on we go,&#8221; said Dempster, who said, as Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe boss Relp Denk did on the team&#8217;s podcast, that the pair had spoken on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;They spoke last night when we got back to the hotel. It&#8217;s tricky when you have the bus at the bottom and then it&#8217;s a rush to get back to the hotel, but they&#8217;ve spoken, and all good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The German team&#8217;s management will be delighted that these next two days should be flat sprint finales into Bordeaux and Bergerac, with no mountain action and potential spats between their co-leaders until the race heads for Le Lioran on Tuesday, July 14, Bastille Day.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">For the moment, Evenepoel and Lipowitz actually sit well placed in the race for the podium, in fourth and seventh on GC, 3:30 and 4:00 behind Tadej Poga\u010dar, but both within striking distance of Jonas Vingegaard in second.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><em><strong>The world\u2019s biggest bike race deserves world-class coverage.
