After being caught up in a late crash, Jonas Vingegaard finished stage 5 of the Tour de France on teammate Victor Campenaerts’ bike, avoiding total disaster as his Visma-Lease a Bike chased hard to ensure he finished on the same time as Tadej Poga\u010dar.<\/p>\n

Visma’s lead DS Marc Reef explained the hectic finale at the team bus, noting how what was a moment of mass stress ended up with the result they wanted.<\/p>\n

“We heard that Jonas was also in the crash, or somewhere involved. Then he got immeditaely the bike from Victory [Campenaerts], the boys were with him pulling hard for him, and in the end I think everybody what we see now is on the same time at the finish,” said Reef at the team bus to small group of reporters, including Cyclingnews.<\/p>\n

“We knew that it was a tight corner, also with the sidewalk on the right side, or a small higher line, we knew that corner was coming. The moment how we approached the final was just good, we were together, but in the hectic crash, I think in the end, Jonas got the bike from Victory, we rode hard to the line, and it finished all on the same time.”<\/p>\n
