Wout van Aert and Matteo Jorgenson of Visma-Lease a Bike faced significant challenges at the E3 Saxo Classic, ultimately finishing 15th and 9th respectively. High hopes for victory turned to disappointment as a major crash affected their race strategy. Jorgenson acknowledged his early overexertion, contributing to a lackluster result, while the team struggled to keep pace with leading cyclists Mads Pedersen and Mathieu van der Poel. Visma's troubles began before the race, demonstrating how swiftly circumstances can change in cycling competitions.
"My feeling was okay. I think I just invested a lot too early and paid for it in the end pretty clearly," Jorgenson said at the finish, taking little pride in his top-10 finish.
"It definitely wasn't a good situation," Jorgenson explained at the finish. "I think before the cameras came on, I had invested a lot to get back to the first group."
