Jumbo-Visma paid a price for not adapting their plans to the shifting scenario on Stage 6 of the Tour de France, leaving Jonas Vingegaard as “probably the most disappointed guy going into a yellow jersey in history,” according to Robbie McEwen.
Vingegaard put time into his big general classification rival Tadej Pogacar on Stage 5, as the Slovenian was unable to hold the wheel and said his legs were not good.
Ad Jumbo seemed keen to repeat the trick, but the scenario was different as Pogacar was able to hold the wheel on the Col du Tourmalet.
