Visma-Lease a Bike had "no explanation" for why Jonas Vingegaard lost more than a minute to GC rival Tadej Pogačar in the time trial stage 5 of the Tour de France, with the Dane dropping to fourth overall.

Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) lost over a minute on Slovenia's Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), who took the Tour de France's leader's yellow jersey, during the stage five time trial on Wednesday.

Tadej Pogacar took the 100th victory of his stellar career on Tuesday, beating Mathieu van der Poel and Jonas Vingegaard to win stage four of the Tour de France.

Just three days into the race, it’s clear we’re about to be treated to an epic duel between Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard for the yellow jersey.

Jonas Vingegaard's wife Trine was brutally honest in her assessment of the Visma-Lease cycling team, as she blamed them for pushing her husband too far.

Van Aert is an all-around rider who can sprint (won the 2022 green jersey), climb (often a key worker for Vingegaard), time trial (Olympic bronze medalist) and excel in one-day races (second in the road race at the Olympics and worlds). In 2025, van Aert was second at cyclo-cross worlds, fourth at Paris-Roubaix and then helped Yates win the Giro.

Vingegaard blew the doors off his power records Tuesday in a 24kph romp up the cruelest climb of the Tour de France so far.
