Stage 16: "He's getting better and better – Not everyone has that kind of class"

In the latest episode, Denk reflects on Stage 16 of the 2025 Tour de France. “We’re very satisfied – the whole team did a great job today,” says the 51-year-old. The team manager had special praise for Primoz Roglic. “Today clearly showed the kind of class Primoz still has, even at 36. He keeps getting better – not everyone can say that,” Denk analyzes. In the background segment, he answers various listener questions about equipment, technology, and Denk’s role during the race. The final part looks ahead to Stage 17, which takes place on Wednesday. The 160.4 km stage from Bollène to Valence includes only two small category 4 climbs, and all signs point to a mass sprint. “If the wind doesn’t play a major role, I’m expecting a sprint finish. The sprinters don’t have many chances left,” Denk concludes. The original version of this podcast was recorded in German and translated with the help of artificial intelligence.
