Jonas Vingegaard: "I thought I could win"

“I have mixed feelings... Well, actually I'm mainly disappointed. I was in the lead until the last 25 metres, but in the end I was beaten and he deserves his victory. I don't think we should have raced in these conditions, we were all shivering. But after all, everyone suffered in this weather. I felt pretty good and when I was in front I thought I could win, but unfortunately...

Joao Almeida: “We never gave up”

“I’m supper happy, it was quite a hard day with a lot happening in the stage with snow… We never gave up and I think we deserved it. I was feeling quite good but I’m not the best in cold temperatures so I was suffering from that. The climb was not steep enough to reduce the group. Jonas [Vingegaard] attacked at a good moment, I was not in the best position...

Almeida strikes back

La Loge des Gardes still doesn’t smile at Jonas Vingegaard. On the day after a dominant team time-trial from Visma-Lease a Bike, the Danish star attacked on the final ascent of stage 4 of Paris-Nice 2025, just as he did on the same slopes in 2023. He was still leading the way into the last 200 metres… But, as happened a couple of years ago, the climb proved to be...

Change of gear

The truth of the team time trial can quickly be overturned. Visma-Lease a Bike put on an impressive performance on Tuesday, propelling Matteo Jorgenson to the yellow and white jersey with Jonas Vingegaard by his side, in a dominant fashion echoing their victory in the same discipline in 2023, when the organisers of Paris-Nice introduced the new format that sees each rider be...

Florian Lipowitz: “Now I aim for a strong result”

“I think we did a really good job. The whole team was super good today and we can be super happy with the result. It’s always special to have a jersey but tomorrow is a climbing stage so we’ll see how that goes and whether we can defend the white jersey. After last year, now I aim for a strong result in Paris-Nice. I would already be super happy with a top...

Jonas Vingegaard: “It would be nice if we could keep it that way”

“It was a perfect day for us. To take the win and having such a strong team is just incredible. Everyone was super strong and did a great job, the riders but also all the staff and all the members of the team here. I think the shape is pretty good to be honest. I feel stronger and stronger every day. I’m getting into the rhythm. It was the same in Algarve. We are...

Matteo Jorgenson: "I’m excited to actually race with the Maillot Jaune"

“I’m proud of the boys. I think we did the plan as well as we could and I’m happy with the commitment of every one. I don’t take it for granted to have six riders so strong and committed next to me. We wanted to use our two ‘motorbikes’, Per [Strang Hagenes] and Edo [Affini]. They did their turns before the steep climb and the goal was to...

Jorgenson takes his ease

A year after his breakthrough victory in Paris-Nice 2024, Matteo Jorgenson is back at the top of the overall standings thanks to the performance of Visma-Lease a Bike in Tuesday’s team time-trial. After a strong collective start, the American all rounder put the hammer down on the final slopes of the day, and only Jonas Vingegaard accompanied him to set the best time of...

All for one

Tim Merlier may be the first rider to win the first two stages of Paris-Nice since 2019, he is pretty sure he’s gonna lose the leader’s yellow and white jersey on Tuesday, after the team time trial held in Nevers. The Belgian star wants his Soudal Quick-Step partners to power to the fore, with a former 2-time winner such as Max Schachmann, but he’s well...
