"I have to keep improving" - Florian Lipowitz yearning for more after ending Paris-Nice 2025 2nd on GC and with White Jersey

With the likes of Primoz Roglic, Aleksandr Vlasov and Jai Hindley among the GC contenders at Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe, it would be easy for an up and coming rider such as Florian Lipowitz to get lost in the shuffle. At Paris-Nice 2025 though, the 24-year-old German's star shone bright as he claimed the White Jersey and second spot on the final podium.

In the end, one minute and fifteen seconds separated Lipowitz and overall race winner Matteo Jorgenson in the general classification standings. A more than solid effort for the German, who is growing in confidence at the top level of the sport. "I’m very happy with my Paris-Nice," he assessed with a smile in his post-stage interview afterwards. "It's a great result to finish second in the general classification and with the white jersey."

By no means is Lipowitz content to finish as an impressive runner-up though. The Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe star is yearning for more success and more improvement. "Compared to last year, when I started getting results, it's very different because I have to keep improving," he insists fiercely in conclusion. "I have to show that I'm still there and capable of performing."
