“After the winter I had, when I had no team, I think you’ve seen all year I’ve come in every race swinging and I just tried to make the most of every opportunity. Van Aert wil continue in yellow on Thursday for what is the longest stage of this year’s Tour, a hilly route which might suit the Belgian better than anyone, especially given that the usually masterful puncheur Mathieu van der Poel has struggled so much this week. Up ahead, the breakawayers held off the Stuyven-Pogacar charge and the group eventually distilled down to a fight between Clarke and Dutch rider Taco van der Hoorn in a sprint finish. The Slovenian prodigy, going for his third Tour de France in a row, latched on to Jumbo-Visma for a while and then Ineos before cutting loose with the help of Trek-Segafredo’s Jasper Stuyven once he heard of Jumbo’s struggles. The peloton and team cars whipped up a thick orange soot which filled the air along the cobbled stretches, limiting visibility and forcing riders to trust their own racing instincts and a little blind faith. Not everyone believes cobblestones have a place in the Tour de France given their penchant for spreading misery in such unpredictable and uneven ways, but they always deliver drama of some kind and this compelling race was no exception.

Van Aert, Roglič crash while Vingegaard has multiple bike changes after a puncture. Roglič dislocates shoulder but is set to continue race.

Kruijswijk was then forced to run across the road just before a group of riders rolled through so that he could retrieve his bike. Yellow jersey Van Aert crashed before the first cobbled sector and then almost collided with a car as he tried to get back to the main peloton. The Slovenian confirmed after the stage that he dislocated his shoulder and it was put back in by the team before he continued.

The team will also have 60 spare wheels to try and mitigate the problems they faced at Paris-Roubaix 2022.

This isn't the first time the Jumbo-Visma riders will experience riding on the Caledonia 5 frame either. “It's slightly longer and gives the riders more comfort. There both Wout Van Aert's and Christophe Laporte's rear wheels collapsed underneath them, amid a puncture-plagued race on the pavé of northern France.

Team keen to avoid a repeat of the Paris-Roubaix incidents, where two tubular wheels collapsed after punctures.

Given the tubular wheels failed beneath them and also forced the complete stop, you can begin to understand why. He started out racing cross country in his teens back when 26-inch wheels and triple chainsets were still mainstream, but he found favour in road racing in his early 20s, racing at a local and national level for Team Tor 2000. The primary stated benefit of tubular wheels and tyres is the ability to continue riding after a puncture. Josh has been with us as Senior Tech Writer since the summer of 2019 and throughout that time he's covered everything from buyer's guides and deals to the latest tech news and reviews. Even if he is in yellow, we must not deviate from our goal: the green jersey for him and the yellow in Paris." Its primary benefit is the ability to self-seal punctures and effectively allow a rider to continue as if nothing happened, albeit with a slightly lower tyre pressure than before.

Pogačar went to the front and hit the gas. Roglič was even farther behind. Van Aert struggled. Chaos: Mathieu van der Poel dropped away. On the second, two-star sector, Quick Step applied some pressure. Suddenly Van Aert crashed. Jumbo-Visma had a wretched time on Thursday’s cobbled fifth stage of the Tour de France, having their two main GC hopefuls, Primož Roglič and Jonas Vingegaard, leak some time to reigning champion Tadej Pogačar. There were several GC favourites joining the Jumbo-Visma duo in their misery, but it could have been worse for of Pog’s rivals.

The final day of the Sibiu Tour has produced top ten places in the general classification for Team Jumbo-Visma. Gijs Leemreize finished the Romanian stage…

We finished among the first ten in every stage. In principle, we could have closed the gap. After the time trial, the riders had another stage in line, which was won by one of the breakaway riders.

Stage 5 at the 2022 Tour de France proved to be especially cruel for the Jumbo Visma team. Meanwhile, defending champ and 2022 Tour de France favorite Tadej Pogacar made his presence known racing away from his main rivals, including both of Jumbo Vismas’ hopefuls. However, today would prove to be some of the most interesting riding for van Aert.

The Jumbo-Visma co-leader came down late in the race and was forced to chase alone, ultimately losing almost two minutes on GC.

I couldn’t put [my shoulder] back in on the road so I needed to sit on the chair of spectator and put it back in.” Fortunately, he was able to put it back in himself. “I didn’t see really good, but I think a motor touched the protection and it slid into the middle of the road.

The Dutch team was forced to make choices in order to limit the losses. Wout van Aert somehow managed to hold on to his race leader's yellow jersey, in the end ...

I needed to sit down on a chair of a spectator and use a technique to pull it down to get it back in. But he certainly seemed to be going well in the pursuit of the peloton.” “He had to sit down on a chair to relax and put it back in. The most important thing is to gain back the momentum. “There was still a long way to go to the finish. I have to thank them a lot for that. “I didn’t see it very well but I think a motorbike touched the protection and then it was in the middle of the road,” Roglič explained. Yellow jersey Wout van Aert was the first to crash as the pace picked up in the peloton, in between the intermediate sprint — where he picked up the necessary points — and the first cobbled section. Stefan Küng was leading the peloton and narrowly avoided a crash but the hay bale had now moved into the middle of the ideal line, causing several riders to crash. At that point he was surrounded by three teammates and he stopped again to get a bike that fit him better. He suddenly spotted the Jumbo-Visma team car and ran across the road to take his spare bike and start the chase on the peloton. I was nervous.”

The fifth stage of the Tour de France has not turned out the way Team Jumbo-Visma had hoped for. Due to a crash, Primoz Roglic lost two minutes on his…

It meant the run-up to the cobbles was not optimal. I gave everything in the pursuit. “It was not the best day for us. Then he, too, was forced to start the pursuit with the support of some of his teammates. I did not expect to retain the yellow jersey. We will see what we can achieve in the mountains with this strong team.” I can’t blame myself and the team for that. Despite most Team Jumbo-Visma riders riding in the front of the peloton, the team could not avoid mechanical and physical problems. Yesterday we were fighting in front; today, we were forced to fight at the back. I got away with it thanks to the team’s great work. Van Aert crashed together with teammate Steven Kruijswijk. Fortunately, the duo managed to return to the peloton. The fifth stage of the Tour de France has not turned out the way Team Jumbo-Visma had hoped for.

The team sent Van Hooydonck and eventually Tiesj Benoot back to Roglič, but left Van Aert and Christophe Laporte with Vingegaard in the first chase group. Roglič was busy with his shoulder at the time, back in the crowd, with no team car near him to indicate to Van Aert that there was an issue. That left Jumbo leading the chase with Van Aert and Vingegaard, and with a solo Roglič dangling behind. Van Aert passed Vingegaard as he was finally getting up to speed on his own bike following the mechanical. He drops Vingegaard’s broken bike and gets back on his own bike and now everybody is riding something that fits them again, Vingegaard is on his B bike, and the chase can begin. If Roglič and Vingegaard had smooth days, Wout could do his thing and make moves in the finale.

It was not an ideal day for Team Jumbo-Visma at the Tour on Wednesday and the great Dane, Jonas Vingegaard and his multiple bike changes pretty much sums.

But of course now Kruijswijk needs his own bike, so he sprints across the road. After riding the giant bike, out popped Steven Kruijswijk who gave him his bike. Instead of waiting at the side of the road for his team car, his teammate wisely gave him his steed to ride.
