Stage 3: Circuit Nevers Magny-Cours – Nevers
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 his effort to set the best time of the day: 30’26’’ (56km/h). Jayco AlUla achieved the second best performance with Michael Matthews and Ben O’Connor (+15’’), and Red Bull – Bora – Hansgrohe completed the podium of the day with Aleksandr Vlasov and Florian Lipowitz (+25’’). Ineos Grenadiers had to settle for 5th place (+33’’) and UAE Team Emirates XRG lost 42’’. On Wednesday, the road rises towards La Loge des Gardes on a day that will see Jorgenson wear the yellow and white jersey for the first time, after he surged to victory on the very last day of last year’s edition.
