Over the course of the season, 62 riders pinned on a number for the yellow-and-black squad. Split across the men’s WorldTour team, the women’s WorldTour team, and the Development team, they covered an impressive 406.462 kilometers in total. That’s ten times around the globe, or the equivalent of riding up the Champs-Élysées 213.927 times.

The Champs-Élysées was also the stage for one of the year’s most memorable moments, as Wout van Aert took an epic solo victory on the famous cobbles after attacking on Montmartre six kilometers from the line to finish off the Tour de France in style. That win was one of 13 Grand Tour stage victories claimed by the men’s and women’s teams across the Giro, Tour, and Vuelta, making it a Grand Tour season to remember. 

On the last day of May, Simon Yates completed his impossible comeback with an attack on the Colle delle Finestre, turning the Giro d’Italia on its head on the penultimate stage. Yates catapulted himself from third to first overall, before finally putting on la maglia rosa in Rome the day after.

A few weeks later, Jonas Vingegaard stood on the second step of the men’s Tour de France podium, before Pauline Ferrand-Prévot made history as the first woman from the team to win the Tour de France Femmes. Her French triumph came with victories on both of the toughest mountain stages after Marianne Vos had already taken the opening stage of the race.

Finally, the team completed the Grand Tour trilogy when Vingegaard brought the red jersey of La Vuelta a España to Madrid for the first time in his career, winning three stages along the way. Across the three Grand Tours, the team spent a remarkable 19 days in a leader’s jersey.

But Team Visma | Lease a Bike didn’t just shine in the Grand Tours. In total, the team secured 65 victories in 2025, starting on February 8th, when Olav Kooij won the opening stage of the Tour of Oman. Kooij ended the season with 11 wins, including two Giro d’Italia stage victories, making his final season in yellow and black the best of his young career.

The year’s final win came on October 19th, when Christophe Laporte wrapped up the Tour of Holland in style, lifting the winner’s trophy to close out the season.

Months before her Tour de France Femmes triumph, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot crowned an impressive classics campaign with a solo victory at Paris–Roubaix Femmes, crossing the line alone on the iconic Roubaix velodrome. It was the first Monument win of her career, and the highlight of a spring where the team came a wingbeat away from victory on several occasions.

The spring also marked the breakthrough of now 20-year-old Matthew Brennan. The young Brit burst onto the WorldTour scene by winning two stages at the Volta a Catalunya in March and went on to finish the year with 12 wins - more than any other rider on the team. Brennan averaged a victory every five race days.

Jonas Vingegaard recorded 31 top-10 finishes in 2025, underlining his consistency across more than 60 race days. His average result for the season was 20th place, exactly one place better than Marianne Vos. 

Sepp Kuss once again showed his big engine, clocking 72 race days, the most of any rider on the team. Marion Bunel and Pietro Mattio, who topped the race-day charts for the women’s and development teams, weren’t far behind with 53 and 59 days respectively.

Together, the riders also set some impressive off-bike stats: the team went through 59.000 bidons this season. That’s enough to fill a sizeable swimming pool, or to weigh as much as five well-fed elephants. They also consumed over 1.100 litres of cherry juice after races to kickstart their recovery process.

All in all, 2025 was a season to remember for Team Visma | Lease a Bike.
