The Visma-Lease a Bike riders celebrated another team time trial victory and celebrated Jonas Vingegaard pulling on the Tour de France first leader's yellow, but for the Dane, the moment was far more significant and far more emotional.
It was pointed out to him that it was the first time he had put time in rival Tadej Pogacar since winning the Tour in 2023. It is also the first time he wore the yellow jersey since being crowned the 2023 Tour winner in Paris. For Vingegaard, it was more significant that it was his yellow jersey since his terrible 2024 crash at the Itzulia Basque Country race.
