Lipowitz originally competed in the biathlon and used cycling as training during the summer. After a knee injury, he had to increase his cycling training and met Dan Lorang, the performance director of Bora–Hansgrohe.[5] In 2020, he switched fully to cycling and joined Austrian UCI Continental team Tirol KTM Cycling Team.[6]
In 2021 Lipowitz was part of the team that Tirol KTM Cycling Team sent to the 2021 Adriatica Ionica Race. After finishing thirteenth in the second stage, 2:03 down on the winner,[7] he held onto his position in the Overall to finish thirteenth Overall and fourth in the youth classification.[8][9]
Lipowitz joined UCI WorldTeam Bora–Hansgrohe as a Stagiaire from August to the end of 2022 before joining the team on a two-year contract.[10][11] He took his first professional victory in 2023, winning the overall title as well as stage two and the points classification of the Czech Tour.
In April 2024, Lipowitz claimed his first podium position at an UCI World Tour stage race finishing third at the Tour de Romandie. At the Giro d'Italia he placed fifth on stage two but had to withdraw from his first Grand Tour after stage five.[12] At the German Road Cycling Championships he was only beaten by Marco Brenner and came second.
