It was the last Pyrenean step of this Tour de France 2025, and it is the Dutch of the training INEOS Grenadiers, Thymen Arensmanwhich, at the price of a solo number, came to win alone at the top of Luchon-Superbagnères, 36 years after Robert Millarthe last winner at the top. Earlier in the stage, more precisely from the foot of the Tourmalet, the Belgian Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) quickly lost contact with the peloton. The team leader Soudal Quick-Step finally abandoned, which propelled the young Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull Bora-Hansgrohe) in 3ᵉ place in the general classification, with the added bonus of the best young white jersey. The 24 -year -old German spoke at the organization's microphone on this stage and the rest of this Tour de France.
“It was sad to learn the abandonment of Remco Evenepoel …”
On arrival, the training runner Red Bull BORA-hansgrohe Declared: “When I arrive on the Tour, I never thought of the podium or to fight to be there. I knew that I was in good shape and now I am third and I have the white jersey, I can only be happy. We are a team, and we are talking together. So far, I have shown that I was in good condition, but Primoz is the leader. We are very close. It is he who will tell me what is the plan for the next few days. Trust, which he could very well perform and I think he is a runner cut for the third week.
It was sad to learn the abandonment of Remco Evenepoel. He was one of the big favorites for the podium. I'm sorry for him, but we have to stay focused on our ambitions. The objective of the team is to be on the podium of the Tour, and it will be necessary to see who will fight for that, Primoz or me. Two weeks have almost passed, but everyone knows that the third is the most difficult. The steps promise to be very hard, with a lot of climbing. We will see how the legs will be. I hope they stay as they are “concludes Florian Lipowitz After this 14ᵉ step, at the microphone of the organization.
