Rarely has a team dominated the Tour de France as completely as Jonas Vingegaard’s Jumbo-Visma have this year’s race. There is still the chance of one more stage win for Wout van Aert, the cycling everyman, a rider even more complete than his Danish team leader, when the peloton sweeps on to the Champs Élysées early on Sunday evening.
The Tour itself is already won, Vingegaard relaxing enough to smile in disbelief as he crossed the finish line of the penultimate stage, Saturday’s individual time trial, in which he gained further distance on double Tour champion Tadej Pogacar of UAE Team Emirates, albeit only by a handful of seconds.
