From tears in the hospital a month ago to victory at the Tour de France: Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X Mobility) has achieved the most incredible feat of his career. Today, the Norwegian, just a month after the accident and collarbone fracture at the Tour of Belgium, won the eleventh stage of the Grand Boucle, beating sprint companion Mauro Schmid (Team Jayco AlUla) by a wheel. Abrahamsen also delivered the first Tour de France victory to the Uno-X Mobility team, which had not yet won in the yellow race after two participations.

"I broke my collarbone four weeks ago at the Tour of Belgium. I was crying in the hospital because I thought I wouldn't be able to participate in the Tour de France," Abrahamsen said emotionally. "But the next day I was already with my coach, hoping to participate in the Tour de France." The Norwegian, born in 1995, had narrowly missed victory last year, finishing second in the Cesenatico stage won by Vauquelin, and this year he wanted to return to win, but immediately after the fall, his dream of winning a stage in this year's Tour seemed shattered.

"I did everything possible to return and win a stage at the Tour de France, and it's incredible. It wasn't easy, given that I had to fight against a very strong Mauro Schmid. Today he was strong from the beginning. But I wanted to try, and it was difficult to overtake him. I told myself that I had to win this Tour de France stage, and in the end, I beat him by a wheel."

The entire Uno-X team celebrated Abrahamsen's success because his victory, after everything he had been through, truly had the taste of revenge. "It was a fantastic feeling. Many wonder why I don't join breakaways to get mountain classification points. The team's main objective was to win a stage, but we must be intelligent. Last year, after 10 days with the polka dot jersey, I was a bit tired and couldn't win a stage. My dream was to win a stage at the Tour, and now I've done it."

The Norwegian joined Uno-X Mobility when the team had just formed, and his contract will keep him with this team until 2028. "It's so nice to be part of this team. I've been here since the beginning, in 2017, and I've seen the team grow every year. I've had the opportunity to work with really great people. My coach Lars Holm and Rory, our doctor, helped me a lot to recover after the accident. I managed to come to the Tour de France after the accident, and now I've won a stage: it's simply fantastic."
