The 1.90 m Idaho-raised all-rounder has become Visma's Swiss Army knife — back-to-back Paris-Nice titles, a top-10 at the 2024 Tour and second at Tirreno-Adriatico this spring before a broken collarbone at Amstel Gold interrupted his season.

The 1.90 m Idaho-raised all-rounder has become Visma's Swiss Army knife — back-to-back Paris-Nice titles, a top-10 at the 2024 Tour and second at Tirreno-Adriatico this spring before a broken collarbone at Amstel Gold interrupted his season. Rebuilt and race-sharp after leading Visma to TTT victory at the rebranded Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, he is Vingegaard's last man in the high mountains and the team's plan B for the podium. He celebrated his 27th birthday three days before the Grand Départ.

Cut-out factWhen he won Paris-Nice in 2024 he became the first American to do so since Floyd Landis in 2006 — and he sealed the 2025 edition on his adopted home roads in Nice.
