The first World Tour victory for Laporte is one for the books. An acceleration by Team Jumbo-Visma at the end of the race releases the remaining peloton. Wout van Aert, Primoz Roglic and Laporte cross the line with the three of them, after which the victory is awarded to Laporte.

In his first race for the team, Laporte finished eighth in Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne after an exciting final. The E3 Classic is almost a copy of the stage win in Paris-Nice. Laporte and Van Aert cross the finish line together with a considerable lead over the rest of the peloton. Two days later, the Frenchman finished second again, this time in Gent-Wevelgem. He also shows himself well in front in the Tour of Flanders and achieves a top ten classification.

Laporte played a very important role in Van Aert's green jersey win in the Tour de France. In addition, the Frenchman crowned a great Tour de France with a stage victory. He won the nineteenth stage by breaking away from the peloton in the final kilometer. It was the first victory in a grand tour for the 30-year-old Laporte.

One month after the Tour de France, Team Jumbo-Visma lands in Denmark. The team continues where it ended in Paris, winning races! Olav Kooij wins two bunch sprints after good preparation by Laporte. The leader himself wins the last stage and so the general classification.

World champion Remco Evenepoel has already arrived minutes when the peloton prepares for a bunch sprint for the other podium places. Laporte beats many top sprinters, climbs the podium in Wollongong and takes the silver medal to France. He then closes his great season in Belgium with an excellent solo in Binche-Chimay-Binche.
