Remco Evenepoel and Florian Lipowitz have made peace again after Evenepoel accused his Red Bull-Bora hansgrohe team-mate of not helping him in Thursday's Tour de France mountain stage in the Pyrenees.
"The two lads spoke about it. It is no big deal. The issue was made bigger than it was," team chief Ralph Denk said in a team podcast ahead of Friday's stage to Bordeaux.
Lipowitz told broadcasters ARD and Eurosport: "We talked in the bus yesterday. I think everything is settled. In the end it was a super tough day and we can be satisfied with the performance. The atmosphere is good."
Evenepoel struck a conciliatory tone as well on Friday, saying: "Everyone has their own strengths, and you want to make the most of them. Everything has been said. The past is the past. We must now look ahead."
The Belgian twice Olympic champion had initially criticised last year's Tour third place finisher Lipowitz of Germany for not having done enough lead work in a chase group on Thursday.
