Green is the colour of the leader’s jersey at the Tour of Slovenia – and the colour of hope. After narrowly missing out on victory the day before, Laurence Pithie never stopped believing.

Lorenzo Finn has won Stage 6 of the Giro Next Gen, taking over the famous Maglia Rosa. It was the second stage win of this year’s race for the Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe Rookies.

Five of eight stages are done at the Giro Next Gen, and the Rookies have already shown their talent. With Lorenzo Finn within striking distance of the lead, the decisive mountains are still to come.

They could hardly be more different. And that is exactly what makes Remco Evenepoel and Florian Lipowitz the most fascinating leadership duo at this year’s Tour de France. A closer look.

Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe could hardly have asked for a better start to the Tour of Slovenia, as Laurence Pithie powered to victory on the opening stage and extended his impressive winning streak.
