Team Jumbo-Visma (France) - Press Release: Christophe Laporte has added the first stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné to his list of honours. In the final metres, the Frenchman of Team Jumbo-Visma sprinted past breakaway rider Rune Herregodts to win the stage. Laporte's win takes Team Jumbo-Visma's season tally to 31.

Vingegaard is using the Dauphiné in preparation for the Tour de France. "My form is improving, and I have prepared well for this race. Of course, I would like to win the general classification here, but the Tour remains the primary goal. We came to the Dauphiné to get a significant boost. In any case, I like to have a stage race in my legs before the Tour. This week will show if I am on the right track.”
