> Christophe Laporte was a member of the intended eight-man squad that, with team leader Jonas Vingegaard, will make a bid for the overall victory in the 2026 Tour de France this coming summer. The 33-year-old Frenchman suffered a tear in his quadriceps (muscle in the upper leg) in a fall and will consequently miss the Tour de l’Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and the 2026 Tour de France.
