Stage 10: "Remco nearly paid a high price for his bravery."

In the latest edition, Denk talks about the tenth stage of the 2026 Tour de France. "It was a very good day for us, and we are completely satisfied with the team's performance. In my opinion, the chasing group could even have caught Pogacar if they had worked together well," the 52-year-old said. "Remco invested an enormous amount during the decisive phase and almost paid a high price for it. He struggled on the final climb, which was a consequence of the intense work he had done beforehand. That's what defines him overall. He is not satisfied with finishing second," the team manager emphasized. Denk has nothing but praise for both team leaders, including Florian Lipowitz. "He's doing an outstanding job. Also, the way he now handles the media is impressive. From a sporting perspective, he has tremendous power and a great deal of talent. Right now we're talking about seconds, but in the third week it will be about minutes. I have a very good feeling about Florian." The final part focuses on the eleventh stage, which will be raced on Wednesday. The riders will cover 161 kilometers between Vichy and Nevers. "I expect a bunch sprint. The general classification riders will be grateful if it's a bit calmer for them," Denk concluded. Photo: IMAGO / Sirotti
