Jonas Vingegaard uses 1X groupset for hilly Tour de France opener

Jonas Vingegaard descends on his Cervelo R5, complete with 1x chainring

Despite the relatively hilly parcours on stage 1 of the 2023 Tour de France, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) used a 1X version of SRAM's Red eTap AXS groupset. However, unlike his teammate Primož Roglič at the Giro d'Italia, he opted not to choose the XPLR wide-range gravel cassette. 

Following their switch from Shimano to SRAM this season, Jumbo-Visma have trialled almost all of SRAM's vast gearing configuration options, covering both 1X (which sees the bike fitted with just one chainring at the cranks) and 2X (which has two chainrings, and a front derailleur).
