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.
