From Morzine to Carcassonne: the conquest of the yellow in pictures
Our riders shone in the Tour de France last week. The highlight was the stage victory and the conquest of the yellow jersey by Jonas Vingegaard. Unfortunately, the team also had setbacks due to the DNS of Primoz Roglic and a crash of Steven Kruijswijk. Time to look back!

A tough stage. Vingegaard was put to the test by Pogacar, but he fought back bravely. The yellow jersey was not in danger.

This stage started with a major setback, as Primoz Roglic did not start due to previous injuries. There was also bad luck along the way. Steven Kruijswijk crashed and had to get out. Not much later, Vingegaard and Tiesj Benoot also hit the asphalt. Fortunately they were able to continue their way. Van Aert finished second and is still well ahead in the points classification. Vingegaard managed to keep his lead over Pogacar.
