Tour Auvergne: Jorgenson and Visma win the stage 3 TTT
With less than a month to go before the opening team time trial at the Tour de France, Matteo Jorgenson and Visma-Lease a Bike put down a marker on Tuesday's stage 3 TTT at the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Jorgenson set the fastest time on the day for Visma as he rolled over the line alone in Perreux, taking full advantage of a new format taking individual times for riders instead of using the traditional fourth-rider-over-the-line approach.
Jorgenson and Visma were 12 seconds faster than the time of runner-up Netcompany-Ineos, whose pairing of Oscar Onley and Kévin Vauquelin crossed the line together in another strong showing for their team after they won the TTT in Paris-Nice. EF Education-EasyPost finished a surprising third, allowing race leader Alex Baudin to maintain his grip on the leader's jersey for another day.
