'We couldn't crack them just yet' – Jorgenson and Kuss try to isolate Tadej Pogačar as Visma flex team's strength over UAE at Tour de France

Visma-Lease a Bike are going to try, try and try again, until they either "crack" Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), or he cracks them on the road to Paris at this year's Tour de France. But after 10 days of racing, they still sit 1:17 in arrears with their leader, Jonas Vingegaard, after another failed attempt to gain back time on Bastille Day.

While the world champion is still ahead of them, it's hard to argue that the men in yellow and black have been anything but the best full outfit at this year's race, often igniting the racing, Stage 10 being the latest example.
