BARCELONA, July 4 (Reuters) – Jonas Vingegaard took an early lead in his quest for a third Tour de France title as the Visma-Lease a Bike rider recorded the fastest time in stage one – a 19.6-km team time trial in Barcelona – with a finish in 21 minutes and 47 seconds on Saturday.
Italian Filippo Ganna (Netcompany-Ineos) finished eight seconds slower, while defending champion Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) was third, coming in 12 seconds behind Denmark’s Vingegaard, who claimed the yellow jersey for the first time since 2023.
