"We believed in it and we believed in Jonas Vingegaard" - Matteo Jorgenson pulls monster turn on stage 15 of Tour de France ripping peloton to pieces

Whilst things didn't quite come up Team Visma | Lease a Bike on stage 15 of the 2024 Tour de France, the team were impressive throughout the day, setting a fierce pace on the front of the peloton and putting the pressure onto Jonas Vingegaard's general classification rivals.

On the final climb of the day, that pace setting fell into the hands of Paris-Nice champion Matteo Jorgenson. When the American took to the front, the Maillot Jaune group was absolutely dismantled with rider after rider dropping out the back, unable to keep the pace. It all culminated when, at just over 10km to go, Jorgenson pulled over and Vingegaard launched his attack.

Sadly for Jorgenson, Vingegaard and Team Visma | Lease a Bike, Tadej Pogacar was able to match the Dane's attack and then with just over 5km to go, the Maillot Jaune himself countered and left Vingegaard behind, eventually taking the stage win by over a minute and streching his GC advantage to over three minutes in the process.

“I did what I could. I had to change bikes in the final and unfortunately on the last climb I didn’t have a power meter , so I had no idea what numbers I was doing. I did my best to launch Jonas,” Jorgenson reflected in his post-stage interview afterwards. We did the strategy of the last two years and we believed in it and we believed in Jonas. And I think we still made a huge effort. The whole team did a good job.”
