Remco Evenepoel responded the day after the Tourmalet stage at the 2026 Tour de France, saying he and teammate Laurens Leiperwitz had “worked it out” after apparent tension inside the team. But with both riders fighting for leadership, the situation remains one of the biggest stories around Remco’s Tour.
In this report, we hear from Evenepoel about the team dynamic, plus reaction from Tadej Pogacar and Matteo Jorgenson. After a brutal mountain stage, the pressure is now just as much inside the team as it is on the road. #TDF

ooh cold sores, dude's stressed out.
I would have asked Remco how he felt when young Isaac Del Toro passed him at the finish like he was standing still?
i think he should follow the order of his captain liptowiz
This can only end with one of them changing teams.
Hat's off to remco, as he said it's impressive but they are used to it,, he knows what is going on with some cyclist 😞
Remco was not happy with other riders on climb either, as they doesnt take shifts as he wanted.
If Remco finishes the race this time he can consider that his victory. I have liked and followed Remco from when he went over the wall and followed his recovery and was amazed by him. Bit his temperament is so childish. He has shouted and moaned and complained in many races, if he was top of the podium after every race he'd be tolerated but he's more likely to quit. Joint leaders in the team recipe for disaster.
Mateo looks so sad. He knows exactly what happened last year and it’s happening again. The tour is over in the first week again!
Visma needs a different plan.
Come on Remco, stop being disrespectfull
Cycling interviews are so banal. and, somebody, please start fining cyclists who say "Yeah" in interviews. It is an epidemic.
liptowiz has way more chances to finish in top 3 anyway
Mateo look more humble this year
He will never be accepted to that team if he throws them under the bus and blaming them…..certainly NOT leadership qualities….
I like poga just laugh a bit when he said the tour is over. Hehe
Remco is such an idiot. I have 0 respect for him and his attitude. It is just too much!! Grow up kiddo!!
Did Biniam Girmay take English lessons? I think his English sounds much better now than back in 2024 when he won the green jersey. He has always been able to express himself well with the words he knew, but his speech seems so much cleaner and effortless now.
Yeah yeah I mean I mean
Remco has drastically improved in climbing based on his performance on the stage 6. Tadej is still one of a kind compared to the competition. Question remains whether Remco can sustain such a climbing performance in the alps as well. Wish him best of luck.
Remco seems arrogant and must think he is better than he actually is.
