In the current edition, Denk reports on the second stage of the 2026 Tour de France. "It was a really tough race from the very first minute. We would have liked to win, but we got our team leaders through safely. We are completely on track with both of them," says the 52-year-old.

The day was somewhat dampened by a crash involving Maxim van Gils. "He crashed at the beginning of the stage and was actually planned to be a key helper for the finale. He is a bit banged up, missing some skin around the knee area. Everything is...

In the current edition, Denk reports on the first stage of the 2026 Tour de France. "The mood in the team is good. Winning the stage was the goal, but the result is certainly not the end of the world," says the 52-year-old, adding:

"The team's homogeneity could have been a bit better, and we had already lost twelve seconds by the first intermediate time check. However, we managed to hold that gap, and Remco rode a sensational race over the last two kilometers," Denk says. Florian Lipowitz is currently in eighth place in the general classification. "Florian also delivered...

In the final edition covering the 2025 Tour, Denk reports on the last stage in Paris. “The images were spectacular, no doubt about that. Still, I’m more of a fan of the traditional Paris finish – and many riders told me the same,” says the 51-year-old.
The team’s mood at the closing celebration was cheerful, as Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe looks back on a successful Tour de France.
“It was an incredibly tough time. The Tour keeps growing, which increases the pressure and makes the racing even faster,” Denk analyzes.

In the current issue, Denk reports on stage 20 of the 2025 Tour de France, where the team did everything it could to secure Florian Lipowitz’s third place.
“Today was pure stress again,” says Denk, who already “had a bad feeling” at the start.
“Many riders were well warmed up to launch early attacks, so we saw lots of breakaway groups, and it turned into a really tough race — thankfully, we came through it well.”

In the current issue, Denk reports on stage 19 of the 2025 Tour de France, where Florian Lipowitz secured a podium finish in the mountains.
“It was very emotional for the whole team,” says Denk, referring to the final two kilometers. “He has nerves of steel and did a fantastic job.”

Stage 20 returns to hilly terrain. Over the 184 kilometers to Pontarlier, there shouldn’t be major changes in the general classification — or will there be?
“It was important to extend the lead, especially in light of the altered stage route in Paris. Tomorrow I expect a breakaway group...

In the latest episode, Denk talks about Stage 18 of the 2025 Tour de France. “The result doesn’t look good on paper. On the other hand, we could have even won the stage today. We want to offer exciting cycling – and we did that today,” says the 51-year-old.
In the general classification, Lipowitz now holds only a 22-second lead over Oscar Onley, raising questions about Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe’s tactics. “We underestimated the race situation a bit – things didn’t go ideally. But that’s cycling; you can’t plan everything. Had we won, we would’ve been heroes. Now the result isn’t great,”...

In the latest edition, Denk reflects on Stage 17 of the 2025 Tour de France. “The stage win was within reach today. Jordi waited just a tick too long in the final sprint, the top speed was there. He’s really frustrated that it didn’t work out,” said the 51-year-old.

Before the stage, Danny van Poppel left the race as he became a father for the first time. “Danny witnessed the birth via FaceTime last night. We discussed it and decided he should be with his family,” Denk explains.
