As the Tour de France approaches, Jonas Vingegaard’s victory and his squad’s near-faultless performance in the Critérium du Dauphiné has logically provided a significant boost of confidence in the Jumbo-Visma camp regarding his chances for a repeat success this July.
Hugely prestigious in its own right, the Dauphiné is also traditionally considered the toughest preparation race for the Tour. And collectively all last week Jumbo-Visma were clearly on top of their game, leading the race for seven stages out of a possible eight and winning half the stages, two with Christophe Laporte - who also took home the points jersey - and two with Vingegaard.
