Stage 2: "I'm proud of what Florian did today"

In the current edition, Denk reports on the second stage of the 2025 Tour de France. "Yesterday we weren’t satisfied, and we addressed that afterward. Today the team presented itself much better," says the 51-year-old. He is clearly impressed by the performance of German Tour hopeful Lipowitz. "Florian has nothing to lose and could even have won with a better race situation. I'm proud of what he did today," Denk analyzes. The background topic focuses on new rules and measures aimed at improving rider safety. At the center of the debate is the introduction of yellow cards. The final section covers the third stage, which will be held on Monday. "If the weather doesn’t have too much of an impact, I expect a bunch sprint. Hopefully, we’ll be in the mix," Denk concludes.
