Visma-Lease a Bike overcame some notable setbacks to safely outpower the opposition in the crucial Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes team time trial on stage 3, blasting home nine seconds faster than Netcompany Ineos and 29 seconds on third-placed EF Education-EasyPost.

Despite the loss of TT powerhouses Wout van Aert early on and then Ben Tulett due to a back wheel puncture, the Dutch squad remained calm and consistent on the rolling 28-kilometre course, their victory ensuring team leader and 2024 race runner-up Matteo Jorgenson could leapfrog up the overall standings.
