With the pink jersey of the Giro on his shoulders and entry into the exclusive club of the Triple Crown, Jonas Vingegaard is aiming for his third Tour de France after those of 2022 and 2023. His Visma-Lease a Bike will reveal the Tour lineup to fans around the world with a special preview show on YouTube tomorrow, Tuesday, at 4 p.m.: enthusiasts of the Dutch team, perhaps the team with the largest following internationally, will be able to get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look. The event, broadcast from the team's High Performance Center in Den Bosch, Netherlands, will feature exclusive interviews with riders and interactive elements to bring fans closer to the team.
The eight Visma-Lease a Bike riders are now decided: without Van Aert, a key piece of the team, Vingegaard will present a very strong climbing team to challenge Pogacar with the trio of Sepp Kuss, Ben Tulett and Davide Piganzoli. Yes, the Valtellina native will make his Tour debut after an excellent Giro d'Italia supporting Jonas (and eighth place in the overall classification, best Italian): he convinced the technical staff with his victory in the Pyrenees at Loudenvielle in the Route d'Occitanie (and the respective final classification).
The strategist will once again be Victor Campenaerts, Matteo Jorgenson will have freedom of action (always in support of Vingegaard) and then there's the group for the flat stages: Edoardo Affini is the second Italian on the team, a fundamental element that gives great confidence to Jonas: the Dane trusts him blindly. The Frenchman Bruno Armirail will pair with the rider from Mantua.
Marc Reef, head of the racing department, will participate in the live broadcast to share the ambitions that will guide Team Visma | Lease a Bike through the three weeks in France. "Announcing our selection for the Tour is always a special moment, not only for the team, but also for our fans around the world - says Jasper Saeijs, Chief Business Officer -. With this live preview on YouTube, we want to bring our fans closer to the team and offer them an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the preparation for the most important race. Together with Lease a Bike, we have created a format that goes beyond the traditional team announcement”.
