Jumbo-Visma irons out every tech wrinkle for Jonas Vingegaard ... (VeloNews)

No 2020 repeat? Jumbo-Visma, Jonas Vingegarad leave no stone unturned for Tour de France decider on Saturday.

“And that’s how we approach it.” “It’s not ideal, but the ASO and Santini are doing a good job. Pogačar has it all to play for. “Whatever happens in the sprint day, on the day of the time trial, you have to go as fast as possible, and anything is possible, also taking time,” Zeeman added. The team of Jonas Vingegard is keeping ice cool ahead of the 40.7-kilometer time trial likely to make real the team’s dream of a yellow jersey on Saturday. But with more than three minutes to lean on and a wave of confidence in Vingegaard’s legs, Jumbo-Visma’s three-year wait for the maillot jaune is within reach.

Christophe Laporte avoided the hosting country to be left with no stage win like in the 1926 and 1999 Tour de France as he powered to victory almost 2km ...

Gougeard was joined in the lead by Fred Wright (Bahrain Victorious) and Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo) with 32km to go. Simmons attacked up the hill to the medieval town of Lauzerte. Mohoric went with him to sprint for the cat. Alexis Gougeard (B&B Hotels-KTM) counter-attacked and the next rider who tried to escape from the peloton after having had a bike change due to a mechanical was no less than… The Frenchman got brought back and the advantage of the quartet went up again: 1’ at km 80. Politt sat up but Honoré relaunched the move and Simmons, Mohoric and Van der Hoorn went with him.

Christophe Laporte has taken a surprising win in the nineteenth stage of the Tour de France. In the streets of Cahors, the 29-year-old Frenchman excelled…

"The move to Team Jumbo-Visma is the best choice I've made in my career. "This is the best day of my career. A day that didn't come out of the blue, according to Laporte. Since his move to Team Jumbo-Visma, he has made a lot of progress. I made the connection with the three leaders and at five hundred metres before the finish line, I decided to go full speed. Laporte finished solo and secured Team Jumbo-Visma’s fifth Tour stage victory and the 31st victory of the season. After another acceleration, Laporte rode solo and his second season victory was a fact.

Frenchman Christophe Laporte ended the host nation's long wait for a win with an opportunistic attack at the end of Stage 19 to ride to glory in Cahors.

“I went flat-out as hard as I could to the top – and we had a gap. “I saw the opportunity on that climb with 30km to go because in everybody’s minds it was going to be a sprint. But it was another Jumbo-Visma rider who took the honours – Laporte showing his class by reeling in Wright, Gougeard and Stuyven before surging clear to take the biggest win of his career. A strong quintet of riders animated the first half of a stage which simmered away with the possibility of crosswinds and splits on the exposed roads towards the finish. But an attack from the American Simmons on the first of those ascents sounded the death-knell for the move, with Mohoric cresting the summit before throwing in the towel alongside Belgium’s Van der Hoorn and Honore. Laporte pegged back a leading trio under the flamme rouge before anticipating the reduced bunch sprint with an emphatic kick to take Jumbo-Visma’s fifth stage win of the race.

Laporte credits switch of teams as he claims victory in Cahors.

And Wout already won on the Champs-Élysées last year, so he has a chance there. All the riders are excellent riders, and among the world elite, and riding with them gives you a lot of confidence. The statement carried unfortunate echoes of those made by similarly dominant teams of yesteryear, but in Cahors on Friday, Laporte credited Jumbo-Visma's modus operandi with the progress he has made this season. With 100km to go, Wout told me he'd look after Jonas until then, so I had carte blanche to go for it in the finale." You could see the sprinters' teams have had to work really hard already and there was a lack of control and the break almost made it. His searing effort on the drag up Boulevard Gambetta carried him to stage victory, the first by a French rider on this Tour.
