Team Visma | Lease a Bike confirms its brutal 2024 Tour de France team with Jonas Vingegaard and Wout van Aert at the helm
Cycling
Team Visma | Lease a Bike has confirmed that Jonas Vingegaard is in top form for the Tour de France despite his very hard crash in the Itzulia and he will be joined by Wout van Aert in a scary '8' for the Grand Boucle.
Completing the high-mountain roster are current Vuelta a España winner Sepp Kuss and Matteo Jorgenson, whose limits are still unknown after winning Paris-Nice and coming close to victory in the Dauphiné.
As if that were not enough, Vingegaard will be supported in the high mountains by men like Wilco Kelderman, Tiesj Benoot or Jan Tratnik. Christophe Laporte completes the team as a domestique for the flat stages but also a contender himself for some sprints and breakaways.
The Dutch team has presented its team along with its new kit in a spectacular video in which it reveals, as was known, that it will not race the Tour with its classic yellow color and the dark blue worn by half of the peloton will become dominant.
The jersey, as commented from within Visma, is inspired by the Renaissance in a clear nod to the city of Florence, from where the race starts: "It is inspired by the iconic buildings of Florence and the essence of the Renaissance, we have created something unique loaded with details".
Now the question on everyone's mind is whether Jonas Vingegaard is ready to fight for the Tour de France, which has a very tough first week in which Tadej Pogacar will undoubtedly arrive in better shape after smashing the Giro d'Italia.

- I get the point totally. We live in the snowflake society where some riders forget they are getting paid to ride and get results. When they have a few issues they try to look outside of the real issue instead of themselves. It odd so many of the team are making no complaints and getting on with their job. If you do not like what you do find another job simples. Tough love as my mum would say.paultryan200207-11-2026
- many people advise him to grow slowly and rather do giro and/or vuelta instead of tdf. but i can totally understand that he is not satisfied with taking over once pogi declines, but instead beat him in his prime. so if he goes for tdf again, i‘m all for it. let‘s hope that pogi recovers soon!Ketterechts07-11-2026
- So gracious to offer something no-one would be prepared to pay for. The Giro is not the Tour and doesn’t command the same interest or attract the same “elite” (those willing to pay to be a part of something they consider has ego boosting potential). Roadside viewing will always largely remain free for everyone outside circuits. Introduction of a symbolic entrance to mountain climbs is worthy of exploration. Asking 1-2€ isn’t going to repulse real fans (most will spend 50-100€ on their outing that day all things included) but will prevent a portion of the total knobhead thrillseekers who will join in any large gathering as long as it’s free, just because they’re attracted to crowds, without which it it difficult for them to work up their anti-social behaviour.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- How is radio going to help when someone went over a cliff or bridge or off the roadside into a forest unnoticed and is laying there unconscious?Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Yep, next we’ll be accusing F1 drivers of avoiding Le Mans.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- for a medical chief to throw things like is just bad. There are already radios which were banned for spectacle. allow radios. Gps trackers are not a complete solutionabstractengineer07-11-2026
- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
- I'm very glad he got the big late Quickstep Vuelta win and I hope he has a few left for Euskaltel-Euskadi.flyer07-11-2026
