Visma-Lease a Bike 2024 Season Preview—Can the Superteam Continue to Reign Supreme?

The team is full of super stars— Tour de France Winner Jonas Vingegaard, Vuelta a España winner Sepp Kuss, and the incomparable Wout van Aert. But can Visma-Lease a Bike continue to dominate in 2024?

Launched to the finish line with a fabulous lead-out from Belgium’s Wout van Aert, Kooij started his celebration a bit too early perhaps—but the 22-year-old had done enough to secure the first win of the season for himself and his team.

Van Aert added to the team’s early tally five days later, winning Stage 3 of five stages in Volta ao Algarve in Portugal, the only stage race he’ll complete during the first racing phase of his season.

These were victories that will be forgotten after van Aert and the rest of the team’s talented Classics squad head to Belgium for the Classics in mid-February, starting with Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, the opening race of the Belgian calendar and the event considered by most pundits and aficionados to mark the “real” start to the season.

So before the rubber meets the cobbles, it’s a good time to take a look at the Dutch super team’s prospects heading into the 2024 season (on the men’s side at least) and the riders expected to create (or play a hand in creating) most of the headlines for the team this year.

But first, a look back at 2023

The 2023 season was a record-breaking one for Jumbo-Visma’s men’s team. The Dutch squad became the first in the sport’s history to win all three grand tours in a single season with Slovenia's Primož Roglič winning his first Giro d’Italia , Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard defending his title at the Tour de France , and American Sepp Kuss taking a surprise victory at the Vuelta a España, with Vingegaard and Roglič joining him on the final podium. It was the first time one team had swept all three podium spots in a single grand tour. It sounds like a dream season—and in many ways it was.

But there were some hiccups as well. First, van Aert failed to win either the Tour of Flanders or Paris-Roubaix—again—continuing a losing streak in the cobbled Monuments that just adds to the already immense amounts of pressure on the Belgian superstar.

Then, the team’s previous title sponsor, Jumbo, announced in the middle of the season it was pulling out of the sport, leaving one of pro cycling’s biggest (and most expensive) teams looking for a new backer.

Making things even more awkward, after the Tour de France there were talks of possible merger with Belgium’s Soudal-Quick Step, a move that would have left several riders and staff looking for new jobs while creating a super-team unlike any the sport has ever seen. Everyone was concerned about what such a merger would have meant for the sport, but luckily it never came to pass after Visma stepped-up to fill Jumbo’s place and Lease a Bike came in to cover Visma’s. (Cycling sponsorship often works a lot like a big game of financial Tetris. )

Then there was the Vuelta, which on paper looked like a resounding success, but almost didn’t turn out that way after Vingegaard and Roglič (seemingly in conflict with each other) couldn’t get their acts together to help Kuss defend his lead in the Spanish grand tour. A few weeks after the race was over, we learned that Roglič was leaving the team for BORA-hansgrohe. A coincidence? We don’t think so.

And the drama continued well into the off-season. In December Richard Plugge, the team’s managing director, dropped a bombshell by announcing that Belgium’s Cian Uijtdebroeks–considered by many to be a future grand tour contender—was joining the team from BORA-hansgrohe. BORA promptly denied the rumors –which Uijtdebroeks’s agent disputed—and after a few more days of negotiations (which drew the ire of some of the sport’s other team managers) and a lot more money (we assume), the transfer was completed.

What about 2024?

Well, the team’s wish list likely goes something like this:

  • Win a third Tour de France (preferably with Vingegaard)
  • Win the Tour of Flanders and/or Paris-Roubaix (preferably with van Aert)
  • Win as much as possible along the way.

Simple, right?

Well, if you’re Visma–Lease a Bike, the answer is a resounding, “Sorta?” Winning races such as the Tour de France and Paris-Roubaix is never easy, but when you’ve assembled a roster like Visma–Lease a Bike has, it’s easy to see why they fancy their chances in just about any race on the calendar.

Who’s the Man of the Hour?

When you’ve won the last two Tours de France—and both times done so by defeating a legendary talent like Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates)—you’re clearly your team’s marquee rider. That’s the case with Vingegaard, who crushed Pog at the beginning of the third week to win his second consecutive Tour and then almost won the Vuelta a Espana (albeit at the expense of Kuss, his teammate).

Heading into 2024, Visma’s taking the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” approach to the 27-year-old’s program, starting with the Gran Camino at the end of February, which he won last year. Then he’ll race Tirreno-Adriatico in March, the Tour of the Basque Country in April, and the Critérium du Dauphiné in early June. In between he’ll spend lots and lots of time at high-altitude training camps.

And the biggest test of Vingegaard’s career will come at this year’s Tour de France, where he’ll face a familiar foe in Pogačar, a new foe (Tour-wise) in Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel (Soudal–Quick Step), and a formerly-unofficial-but-now-official foe in Roglič, who was essentially forced to leave the team to have any chance of winning a Tour de France of his own. If he’s able to win a third Tour against this level of competition, we might have to call the Dane the best pure grand tour rider of his generation.

Is anyone on the Hot Seat?

Let’s be clear: Wout van Aert is not on the hot seat at Visma-Lease a Bike. He’s without a doubt one of the five most talented riders in the sport and just about every single team in the peloton would be doing backflips to sign him away if they had the money and the chance.

But van Aert has failed to deliver in the races he [[EMDASH]] and Visma [[EMDASH]] covet the most: the Tour of Flanders or Paris-Roubaix. It’s not entirely his fault: in 2022 he was in the form of his life but tested positive for COVID-19 a few days before Flanders. He returned in time for Roubaix, but was clearly a bit undertrained. Yet still finished second.

Last year he was again among the top pre [[no hyphen-]] race favorites heading into Flanders, but he banged his knee in an early crash and just didn’t have the legs to follow attacks in the finale. He was better at Roubaix, but flatted while attacking on the Carrefour de l’Arbe with about 17K left to race. He had a decent gap at the time, and we can’t help but wonder if anyone would have caught him had he not punctured.

But while it’s not entirely his fault, great riders find a way to either overcome bad luck or manufacture good luck of their own. And that’s where van Aert seems to come up short [[EMDASH]] especially against guys like the Netherland’s Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Pogačar.

Van der Poel is without a doubt van Aert’s biggest nemesis: the Dutchman already lives in Belgium to avoid paying Dutch income tax and it appears he lives rent-free in van Aert’s head as well. A win for van Aert in either cobbled Monument would flip the script for the Belgian. But until that happens, he will always face immense pressure from the Belgian press, the Belgian fanbase, and himself.

That’s a lot of star power. Does the team have any unsung heroes?

Like van Aert, Tiesj Benoot knows a thing or two about pressure from the Belgian press. The 29-year-old finished fifth at his first Tour of Flanders in 2015 [[EMDASH]] at just 21 years of age [[EMDASH]] and was immediately anointed as the nation’s next Tom Boonen . (Belgians love crushing the careers of young riders by calling them the “next fill-in-the-blank-with-a-Belgian-legend.”)

Aside from winning Strade Bianche in 2018, wins were few and far between for Benoot, who spent a couple lackluster seasons at Team Sunweb/DSM before being wisely scooped up by Jumbo-Visma [[EMDASH]] who turned him into an elite jack-of-all trades, a “domestique deluxe” who can handle himself on the cobbles, in the Ardennes, and in the Tour de France.

Strong and selfless, the Belgian has finally tapped into a steady stream of the talent that peaked through earlier in his career, and he’s happy to use it for the sake of Vingegaard and van Aert.

Who’s the team’s best new rider heading into 2024?

Always on the look-out for the next big thing (cough–Uijtdebroeks—cough), Visma has already found its next Benoot in American Matteo Jorgenson . Like Benoot, the 24-year-old seems at home on all sorts of terrain, having already excelled on the cobbles and at the Tour de France while riding for Movistar the past four seasons.

Big and strong, he’s the perfect type of rider for a team like Visma, and he should slot in right away alongside van Aert in the cobbled Classics and Vingegaard at the Tour.

And we suspect Visma views him as more than just a future super-domestique. Like most riders do after joining the team, he’ll improve drastically with the support of the team’s coaches and physiologists. So there’s no telling where his ceiling really is.

Who’s the team’s biggest departure?

It must have been hard for the team to say goodbye to Roglič —who won three Vueltas, a Giro d’Italia, and scores of other races for the team since joining it in 2016. The Slovenian was largely responsible for ushering in the team’s transformation from being a really good team to being a true super-team and almost won the squad its first Tour de France in 2020. So it’s easy to understand why the team graciously cooperated in facilitating his departure from the team in exchange for another chance to try and win the Tour de France.

But it was also a selfish move, a true case of addition by subtraction. Just ask Kuss , who almost watched his chance to win last year’s Vuelta go up the road while Roglič refused to accept the fact that his chance of winning a fourth Tour of Spain disappeared when the team sent Kuss up the road in a breakaway during the first week.

So while the team will miss the WorldTour points that Roglič earned each season (sorta), they won’t miss having to reconcile the ambitions of two (or more) riders who can justifiably lay claim to the team’s captaincy in grand tours.

Who’s the team’s best up-and-comer or rookie?

Norway’s Johannes Staune-Mittet is one of the hottest young talents in the sport, a rider who’s already won two of the world’s three most prestigious stage races for Under-23 riders—the Ronde de l'Isard and the Giro Next Gen—and finished second in the third—Tour de l’Avenir, which is like a mini-Tour de France for riders under 23-years-old.

There should be no pressure on Staune-Mittet during his first full season with Visma-Lease a Bike’s WorldTour squad (he raced with their development team from 2021 through 2023). But if all goes as planned, he’ll be ready (alongside guys like Uijtdebroeks and possibly Jorgenson) to lead the team himself in the future. In the meantime, we expect him to win a race or three when given the chance—especially in minor stage races that the team has to send a team to while the squad’s heavy hitters are at training camps.

What about Sepp Kuss?

Well, his Vuelta a España win last fall was certainly no fluke, but it does complicate things for the American and his team. We were hoping he’d get a chance to race the Giro d’Italia, where he could have had the team all to himself. But the team clearly wants him at his best for the Tour de France, where he’ll be a valuable lieutenant (and Plan B) alongside Vingegaard.

But while Kuss has refused to downplay his chances of possibly winning another grand tour—as he shouldn’t—we just don’t see it happening. Last year’s victory—while not a fluke—was indeed a surprise. And we doubt that other teams would have let him gain so much time during the Vuelta’s first week had they known he would still be in contention by the third. In other words, it’s one thing to win a race when no one’s expecting you to, it’s another thing entirely to win one when everyone is.

Jumbo-Visma

Formerly Rabobank, Superconfex and Kwantum, as well as a host of others since starting life in 1984, Team Jumbo-Visma is the second longest running team at the top of the sport, beaten only by Movistar, which began as Reynolds in 1980. Over the past couple of years, the Dutch outfit have emerged as the new successors to Team Sky/Ines and cemented their position as the best team on the men’s WorldTour.

Their meteoric success isn’t just attributed to their superstars Wout van Aert, Jonas Vingegaard, and Primož Roglič, but also their entire team structure - from part-time staffers to full-time managers - and newfound focus on emerging young talent. Last year the team didn’t just achieve their big goal of winning the Tour de France, they smashed it out of the park.

Through the leadership of Vingegaard and Van Aert, but also the efforts of riders like Christophe Laporte, they came home with the yellow, green and polka-dot jerseys, as well as six individual stage victories. They’ve set an even loftier goal for the 2023 season: shepherd Vingegaard to a second Tour title and place Roglič on the top step of the Giro d’Italia’s podium.

On top of that, the team is also on the hunt for a Monument and, with the likes of Van Aert, Christophe Laporte, Tiesj Benootm and new-recruit Dylan van Baarle on their roster, will be able to muster one of the great one-day racing squads the sport has ever seen. Looking ahead to the future, the team has snapped up one of Great Britain’s hottest young prospects in Thomas Gloag.

They’ll be hoping that the London-born lad can hit the ground running in 2023 and, before long, prove to the world that he’s a worthy successor to Vingegaard and Roglič.

Kuss and Jumbo-Visma help Vingegaard win second Tour de France

tour de france jumbo visma

Team Jumbo-Visma and its leader Jonas Vingegaard locked up their second straight Tour de France victory on Sunday. Sepp Kuss of Durango played an integral part in Vingegaard’s general classification win and was often Vingegaard’s last domestique remaining to help him climb the mountains through Spain and France. Kuss was also in the top-10 of the general classification for most of the race. A crash on Saturday, however, required him to get some stitches on his face and cost Kuss about 20 minutes, bumping him to 12th in the GC. It was Kuss’ second crash of the Tour, after a spectator previously bumped into him and caused a mass wreck in the peloton. Kuss’ job, however, was to help to Vingegaard win and he did just that.

“It was really cool,” Kuss said. “It was a nice experience, but also a relief when you get there and know it’s over. I was more mentally exhausted; it was the first moment we had to feel tired.”

Kuss has now rode in Tour de France four times, also helping Vingegaard win in 2022, and said this one was among the toughest.

“It was up there with the tougher ones I’ve done,” Kuss said. “Every year the Tour is the race where the level is the highest. Every rider is in their best condition and the teams have the most to gain on every stage. Even what are considered recovery stages are super hard.”

The route also changes every year, and that meant Jumbo-Visma would finish, not begin, with stages that played to Vingegaard’s strengths.

“The course didn’t suit him as much as last year, which had more climbing and altitude,” Kuss said about Vingegaard. “It was a more explosive race in the first half, which was suited more to (Tadej) Pogacar. We knew with Jonas’ strengths, we had to wait until the third week and its mountain stages … we were playing the long game.”

Jumbo-Visma played the long game perfectly. What started as a razor tight dual between Vingegaard, the defending Tour champ, and two-time winner Pogacar of UAE Team Emirates ended with a celebratory spin into Paris.

Vingegaard first took the yellow jersey from Jai Hindley of Bora-hansgrohe after Stage 6 and held on to it until the Stage 21 climax, but his lead was less than a minute for most of the Tour.

Vingegaard only led Pogacar by 25 seconds after the sixth, seventh and eighth stages and then Pogacar cut the lead to 17 seconds on Stage 9. The margin didn’t change until Stage 13 when Pogacar was able to chip the lead down to nine seconds. Vingegaard gained one second on Stage 15 and went into the individual time trial with a 10-second lead.

Taking risks and riding aggressively on his time trial bike during Stage 17, however, helped Vingegaard create some distance in the overall standings.

Wout Van Aert of Jumbo-Visma was in the hot seat of the time trial after posting the fastest time among the first 154 riders. Pogacar did the 22.4-kilometer course 1:13 faster than Van Aert to take over the lead, but Vingegaard, the last rider to go, rode even faster and won the stage by 1:38.

“It was really impressive,” Kuss said about Vingegaard’s win the time trial, which ended up being Jumbo-Visma’s only stage win. “Before that, no one could tell what the difference would be. That margin gave us a lot of confidence for the next stages.”

The next day, which was a mountain stage ending with a climb up the Col de la Loze, Vingegaard and Jumbo-Visma blew the race wide open, extending his overall lead to 7:35.

The stage had several long mountain climbs early on and then finished with a grueling one.

“The last five kilometers of the last climb is one of the hardest climbs in cycling,” Kuss said. “We were riding our pace, a pace that was good for Jonas, and over the radio we heard Pogacar was starting to struggle. I tried to lift the pace a bit and solidify the gap, then Jonas took off.”

The gap, Kuss said, helped the team ride a little more defensively on the stages after that, while continuing to fight for stage wins and other goals.

Pogacar battled back and won Stage 20, his second stage win of the Tour, but Vingegaard finished right behind him and only conceded six seconds to Pogacar.

After the Stage 20 result, Jumbo-Visma was able to celebrate on its way to Paris where Vingegaard ultimately won the yellow jersey.

“It's a dream to win the Tour de France again this year,” the 26-year-old Vingegaard said. “The Tour is and remains the greatest cycling race in the world. I am very proud of the team. We have achieved this together. It is a victory for all of us. I could not have done it without the support of my wife and little daughter. I consider myself a family man, so being together is very important. I felt this warmth from my family during the last period, but also from my teammates. After three intense weeks, we can celebrate this triumph.”

Kuss ended up finishing 12th in the race’s general classification, out of 176 riders, including six Americans, who started the Tour. Kuss was in the top-10 for much of the race, but a crash on Stage 20 bumped him down to 12th place where he remained. Kuss ended up finishing 37:32 after Vingegaard. Vingegaard rode the Tour’s 3,404 kilometers (2,115 miles) in 82 hours, 5 minutes and 42 seconds.

“The result doesn’t mean much to me, whether I’m sixth or 12th,” Kuss said. “I had no result expectations coming into the race, but it was nice to be there in a lot of key moments.”

The two crashes Kuss was in didn’t help his overall result, but he was able to finish and continue to help Vingegaard.

“Unfortunately a spectator had his arm out, just clipped me and I crashed,” Kuss said about the first incident.

The second crash occurred on Stage 20 when Kuss said the rider in front of him had his wheel blow up.

“I had no where to go,” Kuss said. “Luckily I was able to pick myself up both times … when you have the yellow jersey, there’s no time to think about hurting.”

Another Durango cyclist Quinn Simmons of Lidl-Trek, wasn’t so lucky. Simmons crashed on the fifth stage and was able to continue for a couple days, even helping teammate Mads Pedersen win Stage 8, but ended up withdrawing from the Tour before Stage 9. Simmons also rode in the Tour last year.

Jumbo-Visma, meanwhile, finished the Tour almost at full strength. Van Aert left the Tour to be with wife, who was expecting their second child, but Vingegaard had a huge GC lead at the time and the rest of his team in tact.

“This is another wonderful milestone in our team's history,” Jumbo-Visma CEO Richard Plugge said. “We went into this Tour de France more confidently than last year. We know what it takes to win the Tour, but you never get used to it. Everyone can tell you how beautiful it is, but only when you experience it, you know what it is like. It has been a fascinating Tour at the highest level. We have done a lot as a team to be the best, even in the details. I think that made the difference again this year. We strive for perfection in every detail. The Tour de France is our top goal every year. There is something magical about the fact that, after last year's resounding success, we have done it again this year. It also makes me very proud that in addition to the general classification and a stage, we also won the team classification. That is the symbol of winning together.”

“After winning three Vueltas, a Giro and last year's Tour, we know better and better how to tackle a three-week grand tour,” Plugge continued. “Everyone at Team Jumbo-Visma understands that we all know what it takes to be the best. We keep setting the bar higher and higher. We are always looking for ways to improve. We will continue to do so after this victory.”

Kuss was a part of all six of the team’s Grand Tour victories. “Most importantly, we have two of the best riders for Grand Tours in the world,” Kuss said about the titles. He also credited the whole team, it’s culture and staff.

“In Grand Tours, there are no egos,” Kuss said. “Every one knows their purpose and gives everything for one leader. We have so many talented riders on the team, but at the end of the day everyone has a lot of humility and understanding of what it means to work as a team.”

Jumbo-Visma also won the team title in the Tour, finishing 13:49 ahead of UAE Team Emirates.

“Initially there wasn’t much emphasis on it; it’s bit more complex to go for it,” Kuss said. “In the third week we were in the running for it, so we decided ‘why not?’ It’s also really prestigious.”

With the Tour de France victory, Jumbo-Visma has now won the first two Grand Tours this year. Before the Tour, Kuss helped Primoz Roglic win the Giro d’ Italia’s general classification.

The final grand tour of the year will be the Vuelta a España, and Kuss said both Vingegaard and Roglic will race for the team.

Kuss, however, is unsure if he’ll also race in the Vuelta, which starts in five weeks.

“If I feel good, I would love to do it,” Kuss said. “If I don’t, it’s probably better not to suffer for three weeks.”

From a racing standpoint, he said he liked how the Tour de France was set up, with some tough mountain stages early on to establish a hierarchy in the GC, which he said reduced crashes and made it safer.

Now, however, he has some well-deserved time to recover.

“It was a wild ride,” Kuss said. “It was three weeks of intense focus.”

Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard will remain with Jumbo-Visma until the end of 2027, the Dutch team said on Tuesday.

Vingegaard, who defeated Tadej Pogacar to win cycling’s biggest race last year, joined Jumbo-Visma in 2019. He extended his contract by three years.

“I have had a fantastic journey with the team who has supported me in every way to become the rider I am today,” Vingegaard said. “I appreciate the quality of the team and the people here and feel at home.”

Jumbo-Visma is one of the most potent teams in men’s road cycling, with Primoz Roglic and Wout van Aert also part of its squad. Vingegaard will count on the star-studded team this summer to achieve his main goal of the season: Defending his Tour title.

“The Tour de France is something very special,” he said. “The feeling I had, standing on top of the podium, was fantastic. My goal is to go for many more wins.”

The Tour starts on July 1 from the Spanish city of Bilbao.

Jonas Vingegaard uses 1x gearing for Tour de France opening stages

Jonas Vingegaard uses 1x gearing for Tour de France opening stages

First Published Jul 3, 2023

Jonas Vingegaard and his Jumbo-Visma teammate Wout van Aert have used SRAM 1x (single chainring) setups for the opening stages of this year’s Tour de France, the defending champion having used the same system during  the recent Critérium du Dauphiné, a race that he won.

Jumbo-Visma switched from Shimano to SRAM groupsets at the start of the year, and SRAM says that the decision to run 1x is entirely down to the team and riders rather than commercial considerations.

“We don’t push Jumbo to use 1x gearing and there is no marketing around this, although it helps a lot, of course,” says SRAM’s Marie Didier. “The riders have the tools at their disposal, then they do what they want. They control what they do and we couldn’t impose them to use a product if we wanted to.”

We showed you last week how Jumbo-Visma use Wolf Tooth LoneWolf Aero chainguides on their road and time trial bikes to help keep the chain in place without a front derailleur.

> Running 1x? Wolf Tooth introduces LoneWolf Aero chainguide to avoid a dropped chain 

The World Tour has long threatened to turn to 1x (or single chainring) gearing set-ups... but is 2023 the year that it finally takes hold?

Earlier in the season Victor Campenaerts used a single chainring system from Classified, and a few weeks ago Primoz Roglic used a gravel groupset on the final stage of the Giro. With Jonas Vingegaard and Wout van Aert – two of cycling's biggest names –  now using 1x,  has it (once again) become a choice too popular for us amateur roadies to ignore?

EXTU4016.JPG

Is history repeating itself?

Before we take a look at Vingegaard's bike that we spotted this week at the Critérium du Dauphiné, let's cast our minds back to the last time that the pro teams made a concerted effort to ditch the little ring. Some of you might remember it wasn’t exactly a huge success!

> Should you run a 1x set-up on your road bike? 

It was of course the Aqua Blue team five years ago that hit the limelight, often for all the wrong reasons , whilst riding their 3T Strada bikes that could only run 1x set-ups. 

3T Strada 1x Aqua Blue - 3.jpg

The Strada (which is now available with a front mech), promised aero benefits thanks to the lack of front mech mount. However, the SRAM groupsets with 3T cassettes caused an almighty Twitter storm when Rick Delaney, the team owner no less, posted: "This lab rat thing is costing us results". This was following a shipped chain by one of his riders in the Tour de Suisse breakaway.

The here (and the now)

Victor Campenaert Classified

Fast forward a few years, and our next significant development in 1x setups being used for road stages was the Classified system on the bike of Victor Campenaerts at the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad classic. 

As you might have heard by now, the Classified system ditches the front mech in favour of a special rear hub with a reduction gear inside. It’s tech that thoroughly impressed us, so much so that it won our "Money No Object" component of the year in 2022.

Since then loads of wheel manufacturers clearly also see a future with Classified in it, and the likes of Hunt, Parcours, Enve, DT Swiss, Mavic and Reynolds, to name just a few, are now on board.

Victor Campenaert Classified 2

> Review: Classified Powershift Kit & Wheelset

As good as the Classified system is it does still have its cons, especially in the pro peloton. No, we’re not talking about Campenaerts having to walk up the Muur on his 62-tooth chainring setup, but rather wheel changes. Unless everyone chose to use it, which seems unlikely, then spare wheels won’t have the required tech hiding inside.

Oh, and it’s also questionable how much lighter the system actually is. This then raises the question of if it's actually worth ditching the tried and tested front mech.

1x looking pretty in pink!

> Check out Primož Roglič’s Giro-winning Cervelo S5

Arguably 1x’s biggest success in the pro peloton was just a few weeks ago, when Roglic used his SRAM XPLR-equipped Cervelo R5 to climb his way into pink at the Giro, winning the stage by a whopping 40 seconds. 

However, the supposed benefits of a 1x system, such as the weight saving, potential aero benefit and better chain line, were overshadowed somewhat by a chain drop on the steepest section of the course, resulting in a push by Roglic's ex-ski jumping teammate .

Primož Roglič Giro mechanical (GCN+)

Roglic’s setup used SRAM’s gravel XPLR XG-1271 cassette paired with a Red AXS XPLR rear mech to give him some absolutely tiny gears; the 40T chainring upfront and 10-44t gearing at the back resulted in a sub 1:1 gear ratio which certainly kept the eventual Giro winner spinning even on the multiple sections over 22%.

The end of the road for 1x?

> BMC prototype aero superbike spotted at Dauphine

So after that, did Jumbo–Visma decide that enough was enough? Well, no! In fact, it would appear that the Dutch team has doubled down on single chainrings.

IMG_6945.jpg

Vingegaard used a 1x setup on two stages of the Dauphiné and in both of the first two stages of this year's Tour de France. 

Our shots from the Dauphiné showed Vingegaard using a 50T aero SRAM front chainring paired with a 10-33T SRAM Red cassette.

BGKN6781.JPG

> All the gear? Check out the gearing choices of the pros

Jumbo–Visma clearly reckons the gearing is sufficient for at least some stages of the Tour de France, and the first couple of days have hardly been flat. 

The biggest gear that this 50x10 gear combo gives is equivalent to using a 55x11, which seems like more than enough for a rider that rarely contests the sprints.

At the lower end, the 50x33 combo gives a gear ratio of just 1.51 although reports say that Vingegaard has also used a 10-36T cassette.

The benefits of 1x

2023 Cervelo Dauphine 1x Jonas Vingegaard - 3.jpeg

> Lightweight v aero: which is best?

As we mentioned earlier, a 1x setup does bring plenty of benefits, especially to pro teams looking for every marginal gain. For example, there’s the potential aero benefit of removing the front mech and, in Jumbo-Visma's case, replacing it with a Wolf Tooth Lone Wolf Aero chainguide. For me or you this would probably be negligible, but for the pros who spend most of their races averaging more than 40kph, small changes can result in small savings.

In addition SRAM says you can also achieve a better chain line, which might offer better efficiency than a more traditional 2x setup.

They say every pro has a con and that is most likely the case here as it will mean that when not climbing, more time will also be spent down in that 10T cog. The smaller the sprocket, the greater the drivetrain losses. You win some, you lose some...

> 8 cheap ways to get a lighter bike — save a kilo or more

Of course, the main reason we suspect Vingegaard has opted to use this set-up is weight.

Not only can you get rid of the front mech, which is 170g including the battery, but you also lose the inner chainring which is another 40g or so. A SRAM spokesperson told us that this means Vingegaard can race on an aero bike (Cervelo S5) that weighs similar to his climbing bike (Cervelo R5). 

That ain’t right

WhatsApp Image 2023-06-06 at 12.03.01.jpg

One other feature of Vingegaard's bike caught our attention at the Dauphiné and that’s the shifters.

Whilst the rest of the team rides around on the taller current generation Red AXS hoods, Vingegaard’s bike has shifters that resemble the later Rival or Force AXS with a much lower profile.

Could these be shifters off a new generation of Red groupset ? We wouldn’t mind betting that the new Red groupset will indeed follow this design language, but the larger shifter buttons lead us to believe that these are just modified Force levers with fancy graphics and perhaps a few internal weight savings.

Is 2023 the year that 1x rules the peloton?

Jonas Vingegaard (A.S.O./Aurélien Vialatte)

With Vingegaard and Van Aert using it at the Tour de France, 1x's profile has already been boosted. Like it or not, 1x has become a feature of road racing, and perhaps it's here to stay this time. The dawn of 12-speed groupsets has meant that 1x is inevitable, as gear jumps get smaller whilst still providing pro riders with just about enough range.

That said, don't expect every pro rider to be jumping ship from the double chainset. We expect to see 1x being used more often but certainly not on every stage. Yet...

For me, the best thing about 1x is no front shifts, which feel awkward in comparison to rear shifts

They are especially annoying on a compact when they seem like the equivalent of ~3 rear shifts, so you have to shift up at the front, and down at the back, to get where you want to be. 

Also, the only times I have dropped a chain from shifting it has been during a front shift. That might be user/maintenance related however.

The 1x "test" in racing has my interest peaked.  I don't miss the 3x of the past at all (on some of my older bikes) and am not really all that fond of 2x either.  It seems I always need to do a front shift at the worst time, which is on a hill.  Not only would it be nice to not have a front shifter ever, but fewer components means more reliability. 

While I'm not a racer, I figure if someone can stay competitive or win a major race on a 1x, then perhaps the issue of the "jump in gears" that has kept me from gonig 1x is more of an issue in my head than a real problem.

How desperate IS road.cc to punt over-priced new tech exactly? Desperate enough to ignore the fact that the Classified system is specifically designed to replicate the function and range of a 2x system, albeit in an especially expensive and over-complicated package?

Road bike tech has seriously jumped the shark in recent years, law of diminishing returns in full effect 🙄

Where have they claimed that it's not? It may be designed to replicate a 2x system (and I agree with you that it is ridiculously pricey and probably unnecessary) but it's still a 1x system, however complex the other end of it is.

Yeah, fair enough, I was reading too much into the context and just felt it was a bit of a tenuous example of '1x' given the significant addition of the 2x hub 😂

 "As it happens, his spare bike is set up with a cassette with far larger sprockets, the same 10-33T cassette in fact"

This article would benefit from the attention of an editor. 

There's a lot of hate on 1x, and the bike industry definitely wants to sell us more stuff, but to me personally, 1x on the road solves a real problem.

I live in a rather flat area, is in moderate shape and doesn't ride competitively.

My road bike setup is SRAM Rival AXS with a 40T chainring and a 10-28T cassette, keeping the crucial 16T. That's sufficient range in most situations, while still having close gaps between sprockets. On downhills I have reached 72+ km/h (albeit with high cadence) and around 57+ km/h on the flats, while being able to climb (shorter) hills of 8-10%. Essentially wanting a higher gear to go faster is pure vanity, not a real need, if I analyse my shift data.

I have ditched the SRAM front derailleur since it was quite unreliable with multiple chain drops and was overly sensitive to correct adjustment. (Shimano is probably better in this regard). Also, I really like the simplicity of one button for harder gear, another for easier. Less cognitive overhead, not having to constantly wonder whether you should switch to the other chainring... And there's a little less weight and fewer parts to maintain and potentially fail. I have not yet had a single chaindrop on the 1x setup. Furthermore, with double chainsets, we don't get the perfect middle ground 40T chainring as I have - it's either in the 30's or in the higher 40's or 50's.

So, my point being, for some (myself included) the front derailleur is unnecessary complexity - but it's probably not for everyone, in every situation and terrain.

Happy riding 🤗

It's not hate, people just resent being coerced into using something they don't want.

You might live somewhere flat or you might ride the trans-Pyrenees or whatever 5 times a week. Your choice of drivetrain is perfectly fine - for you, though I'm struggling to understand the 'problem'. Was 1x recommended by a psychiatrist? /s

FWIW i have just ridden the Raid Pyrenees on  Vielo V+1 with a 1x, 42 on the front and a 10-44 on the back. Long hard days for this old man and i wish i had put the 40 on the front but that aside i never once missed the gearing or ratio's on my old Di2 22 speed Scott addict. I would not coerce anyone to ride anything-not my style. Just get what works for you.

I want to ditch the front derailleaur in theory, but reality keeps me on a 2x for the mildly hilly terain I ride daily.   Using an online gear calculator tool, I've found the gaps between gears are just too big on the available 1x11 gearing available for the Ultegra groupset I have.  Perhaps if 1x13 becomes the standard on road bikes, then I'll reconsider a 1x setup when the gaps aren't so big.

I purchased an Orbea Terra H30 1x last summer as my winter bike. I changed wheels to a reasonabley priced carbon set, and added GP5000's in a 32. Slight change to gearing with a 42 front chain ring. It's now my go to bike for training, riding the pot-holes of London, no real negative on gearing just weight being an alumininium frame versus my super light carbon BMC Roadmachine. Without doubt my next road bike will be 1x!

Making "better chain line" an advantage of 1x over 2x is simplistic bollocks. You can claim that for 2x or 3x system as well. As well as the opposite. It all depends on the particular ring/cog combination that is being used.

Amen brother 

Plus can we just acknowledge what an abomination those massive cassettes are?

From an engineering perspective I just feel it's lazy, let's just add MOAR cogs and BIGGER cogs until it works, make our road bikes look like MTBs with £300 derailleurs scraping the tarmac to achieve sufficient chain length for chainring sized sprockets 😂

+1!  For me, with a double chainring, you are more likely to have the right gear more of the time.  My Ultegra front mech rarely ever goes wrong; sometimes when the chain drops off the front, the front mech can bring it back barely slowing down.  Mechanically it is simpler to have one ring and no mech or shifter, but for the user it's just a case of fine tuning with the cassette, bigger changes with the front mech, not complicated in the least.

You've said engineering then proceeded to talk entirely about the looks of the thing.

Form follows function - remember?

1x will typicall hav 10-44 so 34 teeth to compenstae for between extremes

2x will have 11-32 at the rear and 34-50 at the front, so the chain differenmce is 37 teeth to compensate for.

chain length does not impact on rear derailleur 

Hmm... I agree that chain length alone perhaps does not impact rear derailleur length, but big cassettes and 1x setups certainly appear to.

I've set my 1x CX bike up as per Shimano compatibility charts, which required the longest GRX rear mech to accommodate the 11-42 cassette (I say CX bike, it started life as a gravel bike). However the actual chain length difference is less than that of my 2x road bike with a short cage Ultegra. So why would Shimano suggest the longer, flappier and more prone to trail-side shrubbery long cage mech specifically for off-road duties?

Lets be fair, if the pros started riding with a carrot stuck up their arses and claimed it was better, a certain part of the cycling community would copy them and use conformation bias to support their belief.

The groupset producers have a lot of overpriced kit to shift and the pros are travelling billboards.

Personally I left 1x behind in the 70's, but for some it will be new and will want to copy the pros and if that's what floats your boat then go for it, but don't kid youself it is better.

"Lets be fair, if the pros started riding with a carrot stuck up their arses and claimed it was better"

It needs to go in thick end first, otherwise all the aero benefits are lost. 

Quote: Like it or not, 1x is coming to the road, and perhaps for good this time.

And there is everything that's wrong with the bike industry in one sentence 🙄

Don't like discs? Tough, soon you won't be able to buy anything else, and by the way they'll cost you more and they weigh more and aren't compatible with any of your existing kit.

Don't like electric gears? Tough (see above)

Don't like 1x. Tough, it's coming.

Speaking as a man who likes 'nice' kit and is trying to keep a perfectly serviceable rim brake/mechanical geared bike running as parts wear out etc. the industry is definitely 'geared' towards just replacing bikes wholesale with whatever latest expensive new technology manufacturers are trying to punt.

"Arguably 1x’s biggest success in the pro peloton was just a few weeks ago, when Roglic used his SRAM XPLR-equipped Cervelo R5 to climb his way into pink at the Giro, winning the stage by a whopping 40 seconds. "

You cannot possibly know that.  It was the last day of racing in a very tough tour, Primoz and his team had sat behind (a dwindling) Ineos team for almost all the previous 3 weeks, and let Ineos do the bulk of the work.  Better teams tactics won the Giro. 

And as far as I remember, Primoz was the ONLY rider to lose his chain on that climb.

nothing in the quote suggests that the success was due to 1x, only that it was the biggest success by a riding riding 1x

Also, it feels like all the focus was on the fact that he was using a 1x system, when the significant factor in terms of his ride was that he went for an ultra low (lower that 1:1) bottom gear ratio, so he could get up a very steep climb at a high cadence.  That would be equally deliverable with a 2x system.

The concesus of opinion is that he was running a 44t chainring with a 10-44 cassette, giving a 1:1 ratio in bottom gear, exactly the same as can be achieved with a modern 2x system. So I'm not sure what the benefit is. Weight possibly? But the weight of the cassette is significantly greater than a Dura-Ace 11-34 cassette, by 120g. I can't find the weight of the SRAM chainset, but will it be more than 120g lighter than a double?

I can't find the weight of the SRAM chainset, but will it be more than 120g lighter than a double?

lets say the double weighs 300g more than the single so the drivetrain savings are 200g (maybe a little more due to shiter and cables), do we think weight is an issue when we know manufacturers can make bikes lighter than the UCI minimum weight?

I thought I'd seen the lowest gear was even lower, but regardless I think you are just agreeing with my point.  

I thought the opinion was that he was running smaller up front, either a 42 or 40. He also ran without a chain guide. So more aerodynamic. And yes, there is a weight saving. The Dura-Ace cassette is moot as it is not compatible with SRAM AXS. But for starters, he would have saved an additional 156g from removing the front mech (source - Bike Rumour - https://bikerumor.com/sram-red-etap-axs-wireless-road-bike-group-first-r... ). That pretty much offsets cassette weight difference. I am sure he used the non-power meter option so saved more weight over the standard 2x chainset. Whilst it is not much every gram counts going uphill.

Jumbo-Visma to release docuseries on Amazon Prime

Six-part show promises 'unique insight, emotional highs and lows' but is only available in the Benelux region

Jumbo-Visma's Tour de France success will form part of the team's new docuseries

Cycling fans will not be short of documentary streaming content in 2023, with Jumbo-Visma the latest team to announce a docuseries, airing on Amazon Prime Video in the spring. 

The six-part show, covering the team's 2022 season, will be available from March 1 but will be limited to the Benelux region of Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. 

The series, titled 'All-in: Team Jumbo-Visma', covers the Dutch team's 2022 campaign, focusing on the men's squad with no indication that the women's squad will feature.

Jumbo-Visma's defining success of 2022 was their Tour de France victory through Jonas Vingegaard , who is one of the central characters, alongside his co-leader, Primož Roglič , who had a bruising campaign, and the polyvalent Wout Van Aert . There is also room for Tom Dumoulin, who grappled with his future in the sport and decided part-way through 2022 to retire. 

The series claims to delve into the riders' backgrounds and personal lives, as well as covering the race-day action. 

"Viewers get a unique insight into the success formula of the team, including their private lives, fierce discussions and emotional highs and lows," read an announcement from Amazon Prime.  

"It is a story about friendship, team spirit, doubts and emotions."

The show is co-written by the author Frank Heinen and features Tom Boonen among the talking heads giving insights into the team. 

The series, although heavily geo-restricted, continues the rise of documentary television streaming in cycling and in sport more generally. 

The Netflix docuseries on the 2022 Tour de France, whose release date has yet to be confirmed, has generated a great deal of anticipation and is hoped to cut through to a wider audience in the manner of F1's hugely successful 'Drive to Survive'. 

Jumbo-Visma have now become the third major team to launch their own in-house behind-the-scenes docuseries. Movistar's 'The Least Expected Day' is now in its fourth season, while Soudal-QuickStep announced last month the launch of their own 2022-based series on Prime Video. 

If you live outside a broadcast zone or are on holiday outside your country and find that the live streams are geo-restricted, you can get around this by getting access to them by simulating being back in your home country via a 'virtual private network', or VPN, for your laptop, tablet or mobile.

TechRadar tested hundreds of VPNs and recommends the number-one VPN currently available as Express VPN. With  ExpressVPN , you can watch on many devices at once including Smart TVs, Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, iPhone, Android phone, iPads, tablets, etc.

Tour de France

Thrown bikes, slammed doors: terse scenes at jumbo-visma as twin tour de france ambition comes unstuck, van aert loses opportunity, pogačar nabs bonuses in frustrating second stage for dutch dominators..

SAN SÉBASTIÁN, Spain – No rider could have been more tightly wound than Wout van Aert after stage 2 of the Tour de France .

Van Aert threw his bike down in frustration outside his team bus and issued a holler when he stepped away from the public eye after his team’s twin ambition went awry in another wild final at the Tour de France.

“It’s easy to talk in hindsight, but we should have done things differently today,” team director Frans Maassen concluded.

Jumbo-Visma ‘s day derailed in the Basque hills Sunday.

Victor Lafay pounced late to foil Van Aert’s quest for sprint success and Tadej Pogačar scooped a bunch of bonus points when he outsprinted Jonas Vingegaard on the Jaizkabel climb and at the finish line.

The slammed door when Van Aert bundled into the team car said far more than potential comments he declined to give to the waiting press.

“That last attack by Lafay was too much. If Wout went early, Pogačar would have gone over him. Wout knew that. He is disappointed and he should be,” team director Grischa Niermann told reporters.

“We’re here to win stages with him. This was one of his chances, but not the last one. When the disappointment is gone, he’ll be happy with his form.”

‘This isn’t a PlayStation game’

Tadej Pogačar

Jumbo-Visma was clutching at twin ambitions Sunday and didn’t fully grasp either.

Defending champion Vingegaard’s battle royale with archrival Pogačar resumed after Saturday’s stage 1 explosions, and again, it was the Slovenian that won bonus seconds to pad his early GC advantage.

And when Van Aert’s quest for his 10th Tour stage win was undone by Lafay’s daring attack, Jumbo-Visma’s day was truly thrown off the rails.

Team staff seemed keen to pick up the positives while just meters behind, Vingegaard warmed down in silence.

“It’s a good sign that Jonas is up there in the mix and that we had four guys in a select leading group,” Niermann said. “Of course, we’re disappointed we couldn’t keep it together for Wout to finish it off.”

The opening stages of this Tour de France have been the most animated the race has seen in years.

Tough terrain in the hilly Basque Country and a UAE Emirates team committed to attack made things complicated for the Jumbo-Visma domination machine.

“Jonas was focused as much as possible on Pogačar, but in hindsight, he could have done something,” Maassen said of the race for bonuses.

“But you don’t count on that attack from Lafay in the last kilometer. This isn’t a PlayStation game. Wout could also have caught Lafay back, but then he would have been beaten by Pogačar in the sprint, and you definitely don’t want that.”

The Dutch squad showed at last year’s Tour de France that it’s possible to balance Van Aert’s own ambitions with the team’s GC assault.

Jumbo-Visma director Niermann told the press that Sunday’s stage was a rare divot in the squad’s split strategy.

“We don’t play only one card, Wout still gets absolute freedom,” he said. “And it will still work.”

Vingegaard is 17 seconds behind UAE Emirates’ co-captain and race-leader Adam Yates, and 11 seconds back on Pogačar. But Jumbo-Visma knows better than perhaps any other team in the peloton that the race isn’t over until the maillot jaune arrives into Paris.

And Wout? That guy has shown countless times that he can win on almost any stage he chooses. Maybe even the sprinter-centric third stage that heralds the Tour’s arrival into France on Monday.

A fundraising campaign from Jumbo-Visma allows you to support new talent by purchasing a piece of cycling history.

There’s no doubt that Dutch team Jumbo-Visma dominated this year’s Tour de France.  Altogether, the team went home with six stage wins spread among three riders. Jumbo-Visma’s team won the “super combatif” prize, the polka-dot jersey, the green jersey, and the coveted yellow jersey.

Now, the team invites you to buy the bikes it used to chew up the stages.

In an online auction aimed at developing new young talent, Jumbo-Visma is offering a selection of bikes and other memorabilia used by its winning team in the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia.

Items include the bicycles used by yellow jersey winner Jonas Vingegaard, green jersey winners Wout van Aert and Marianne Vos, and Giro d’Italia blue jersey winner Koen Bouwman.

“This bicycle was part of my biggest achievement in cycling to date,” Jonas Vingegaard said in a news release. “I’m very grateful that I started this Tour de France in Denmark and returned to Copenhagen with the yellow jersey. This bike has left a lasting legacy.”

Jumbo-Visma Auction Details

By auctioning off 18 of its bicycles, Jumbo-Visma hopes to raise money to develop cycling talent.

The funds will aid several parts of the team’s infrastructure. That includes the Team Jumbo-Visma Academy, the Jumbo-Visma Development Team, and the national initiative CyclingClassNL.

Highlights of the cycling auction include:

  • The Cervélo R5 of yellow jersey winner Jonas Vingegaard
  • The green-decorated S5 of green jersey winner Wout van Aert
  • The bicycle of Marianne Vos , who took the green jersey home from the Tour de France Femmes
  • Koen Bouwman’s Cervélo R5 , which helped him win the blue jersey of the mountain classification and two stages during the Giro d’Italia 2022

Buying a bike even gets you a unique note from its rider, which Jumbo-Visma said is handwritten and “where the bike’s own legacy will come to life.”

In addition to the bikes, the team is auctioning off hand-signed replicas of the jerseys the team won this year. Those include Vingegaard’s yellow jersey , Vos’ green jersey , and Robert Gesink’s red jersey , among others.

The auction is currently live on Catawiki, which aims to “fulfill people’s passions,” said Genevieve Tearle, the site’s Vice President of Collectables.

“By auctioning off these eighteen unique bikes, cycling enthusiasts can now live the legacy of the bicycles that have written cycling history this year, contributing to the development of new talent that will write this sport’s future,” Tearle said in the news release. “It excites me that these items, with so many stories and great value, will keep living on in the passion of our users.”

The auction began on Dec. 8 and continues until Dec. 19. See the full list of auction items on Catawiki .
