The queen stage of this Tour de France showed no mercy to the brave riders of the peloton.
Team TotalEnergies has achieved its objective for the final week of the race. Barring any incidents on the road to Paris, Jordan is set to finish 10th overall in the Tour de France for the second consecutive year. It would mark the team’s sixth overall Top 10 finish since its creation.
While he had dreamed of claiming a stage victory, this new General Classification performance is a fitting reward for the consistency and determination he has displayed throughout the three weeks of racing.
But this result is also the product of the dedication of his seven teammates, who committed themselves entirely to his ambitions. Day after day, they positioned him perfectly and stayed by his side for as long as possible in the toughest climbs. On Saturday, Jordan once again benefited from the invaluable work of Joris Delbove before Nicolas Breuillard took over.
More than just a sporting achievement, this journey reflects the strength of a united team. This Top 10 belongs to the entire squad, and above all to a group of friends proud to have gone toe-to-toe with the biggest WorldTour teams.
