Can Jonas Vingegaard reclaim the Maillot Jaune at the 2025 Tour de France? If he does, it's likely the strength of the Team Visma | Lease a Bike support squad will play a key role and the lineup of the Visma team has now been officially confirmed.
With no surprises from the widely rumoured lineup, two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard will be joined by a star-studded support squad. Former Vuelta a Espana winner Sepp Kuss and the reigning Giro d'Italia champion Simon Yates will give considerable mountain help, whilst American star Matteo Jorgenson is likely to offer up a back-up option for the general classification.
Support on the flat comes from powerhouses Victor Campenaerts and Edoardo Affini, with the always reliable Tiesj Benoot present also. The key factor however, could prove to be Wout van Aert. The Belgian has played important roles for Vingegaard in the past, and was decisive in Yates' Giro win earlier this year. Similar performances from the 9-time Tour stage winner this time around could be telling.
"With these eight very strong riders, we believe in the plan we made for the Tour de France. From day one we will have to be there as a team to optimally assist Jonas in the GC," says Grischa Niermann, Head of Racing, at Team Visma | Lease a Bike in a press release on the team's official website. "In addition, there will be opportunities for several riders to go for stage wins. We are very deliberately focused on ourselves and our own plan. We have an optimal preparation behind us and with that, we think we can get the best possible result."

- ...Not if that 2nd best GC rider only rides 1 GT a year and always gets spanked like a naughty child by a dominant champion.. JV will never beat a healthy Pogacar and we will never have to speculate about that ever again. If Jonas stays at Visma, he is going to eventually justify to Van Aert, Jorgensen and Yates why they should continue to sacrifice their palmarés for a man who won't ever win another race that Pogacar wants to win. Visma has already lost riders like Valter and Benoit to other teams and that trend will continue as these champion riders see the man they dedicated all their hard work and sacrifice for get an 11 second time loss in 500m like today .. Jo as does not have the Charisma or the palmares to keep champions working for such a lost cause. He and Visma both need to rethink their approach and make other targets. Their time winning the TdF against a healthy Pogacar is over, sooo... What's next?DoctorNurse7125-07-2025
- I think they should deduct all 20pts from that KomZamorano25-07-2025
- Exactly this... he doesn't have to jump, he's taken his time he needs to defend that time. If he decides to jump on La Plagne so be it but he doesn't have to. Tadej has always been in control... that simpleslappers6625-07-2025

- oh, i didn’t mean his career is LITERALLY OVER, like, that he’s not going to ride his bike, get paid, etc. I’m really sorry i was unclear about that. that’s my fault. what i meant was really more figurative, as in, the drama that preceded this TDF showdown with pogačar won’t ever happen again, he’ll never win another grand tour that pogačar also wants to win, he’ll never be a relevant a part of any conversation about “who’s going to win” race x, y, or z if it’s a race pogačar is lining up for. that’s all i meant, because the suggestion that jonas no longer has a team or a salary or a bike is, as you rightly observe, complete nonsense.OCexile25-07-2025
- yeah, nonsense at all. Jorgenson left his captain alone in the middle of the fight, trying to win the stage. Bad.
maria2024202425-07-2025 - Jonas’s salary doesn’t seem out of line. If Pogi isn’t at a race Jonas typically winsmobk25-07-2025
They should have included Ben Tulett - I'd put Tulett on par with Pavel Sivakov of UAD.
