Visma-Lease a Bike’s Tour de France special-edition jerseys were named Renaissance to honour the race’s Italian Grand Départ, but there was more than a hint of rebirth for Jonas Vingegaard on stage 20, too, as the Dane bounced back from a hard stage 19 to fight Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) all the way to the line.
Vingegaard was dropped by the race leader within sight of the top of the Col de la Couillole, the same ascent where he was defeated by Pogačar in the 2023 edition of Paris-Nice.
