The USA&#8217;s Sean Quinn (EF Education-EasyPost) was his nearest rival and biggest threat at 5:34 down on Poga\u010dar.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Californian could have become the first American to wear the yellow jersey since Greg LeMond, but Tr\u00e6en rode a smart race, controlled Quinn&#8217;s attacks and took advantage of Lidl-Trek&#8217;s determination to win the stage with Mads Pedersen.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;On the final climb, you just had to have the legs,&#8221; Tr\u00e6en explained.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;With the heat, you never know how your body will react. Once I got to that point, I realised that the possibility of wearing the yellow jersey was real, but I still had to cross the finish line.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Tr\u00e6en now leads Quinn by 28 seconds, with Mathias Vacek (Lidl-Trek), who was also in the break, third overall at 3:53. Previous race leader Poga\u010dar is fourth at a significant 7:53. Poga\u010dar has never been so far down on the yellow jersey.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Tr\u00e6en is expected to be able to defend his lead on Wednesday&#8217;s first sprint stage to Pau and on the mountainous stage 6 that climbs the Col du Tourmalet. He could stay in yellow deep into the second week, until the mountain stages in the Vosges and the high Alps.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Step by step, year by year, we&#8217;re working hard as Norway and Denmark together,&#8221; Hushovd said of the Uno-X Mobility project.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We have a different team compared to others. We&#8217;re a Scandinavian team with riders only from Norway and Denmark. That makes it more complicated because we can&#8217;t hire riders from many different countries. But it makes us very proud when we pull off a major goal like taking the Tour de France yellow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Uno-X Mobility also have Tobias Halland Johannessen, who finished sixth overall in the 20125 Tour and Jonas Abrahamsen, who won a stage in 2025. Tr\u00e6en went on to finish ninth overall at the Vuelta in 2025 during a two-season hiatus at Bahrain Victorious.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Husdhovd made it clear they are not done yet.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;It&#8217;s possible to support Tobias Halland Johannessen because he wants to do even better this year than last year. This jersey can help motivate the whole team. We know we can do much more and we want more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-e82be570-7a50-11f1-acc9-3d6193e1c8c3\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Team Uno-X Mobility celebrate at podium for teammate Torstein Traeen of Norway as the leader of the Tour de France <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr id=\"elk-40b2a90a-7a50-11f1-afad-b9a1489a34f3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<p id=\"elk-40b2a98c-7a50-11f1-921d-f5de85b8be84\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The world\u2019s biggest bike race deserves world-class coverage.

The USA&#8217;s Sean Quinn (EF Education-EasyPost) was his nearest rival and biggest threat at 5:34 down on Poga\u010dar.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Californian could have become the first American to wear the yellow jersey since Greg LeMond, but Tr\u00e6en rode a smart race, controlled Quinn&#8217;s attacks and took advantage of Lidl-Trek&#8217;s determination to win the stage with Mads Pedersen.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;On the final climb, you just had to have the legs,&#8221; Tr\u00e6en explained.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;With the heat, you never know how your body will react. Once I got to that point, I realised that the possibility of wearing the yellow jersey was real, but I still had to cross the finish line.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Tr\u00e6en now leads Quinn by 28 seconds, with Mathias Vacek (Lidl-Trek), who was also in the break, third overall at 3:53. Previous race leader Poga\u010dar is fourth at a significant 7:53. Poga\u010dar has never been so far down on the yellow jersey.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Tr\u00e6en is expected to be able to defend his lead on Wednesday&#8217;s first sprint stage to Pau and on the mountainous stage 6 that climbs the Col du Tourmalet. He could stay in yellow deep into the second week, until the mountain stages in the Vosges and the high Alps.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Step by step, year by year, we&#8217;re working hard as Norway and Denmark together,&#8221; Hushovd said of the Uno-X Mobility project.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We have a different team compared to others. We&#8217;re a Scandinavian team with riders only from Norway and Denmark. That makes it more complicated because we can&#8217;t hire riders from many different countries. But it makes us very proud when we pull off a major goal like taking the Tour de France yellow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Uno-X Mobility also have Tobias Halland Johannessen, who finished sixth overall in the 20125 Tour and Jonas Abrahamsen, who won a stage in 2025. Tr\u00e6en went on to finish ninth overall at the Vuelta in 2025 during a two-season hiatus at Bahrain Victorious.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Husdhovd made it clear they are not done yet.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;It&#8217;s possible to support Tobias Halland Johannessen because he wants to do even better this year than last year. This jersey can help motivate the whole team. We know we can do much more and we want more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-e82be570-7a50-11f1-acc9-3d6193e1c8c3\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Team Uno-X Mobility celebrate at podium for teammate Torstein Traeen of Norway as the leader of the Tour de France <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr id=\"elk-40b2a90a-7a50-11f1-afad-b9a1489a34f3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<p id=\"elk-40b2a98c-7a50-11f1-921d-f5de85b8be84\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The world\u2019s biggest bike race deserves world-class coverage.

The USA&#8217;s Sean Quinn (EF Education-EasyPost) was his nearest rival and biggest threat at 5:34 down on Poga\u010dar.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Californian could have become the first American to wear the yellow jersey since Greg LeMond, but Tr\u00e6en rode a smart race, controlled Quinn&#8217;s attacks and took advantage of Lidl-Trek&#8217;s determination to win the stage with Mads Pedersen.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;On the final climb, you just had to have the legs,&#8221; Tr\u00e6en explained.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;With the heat, you never know how your body will react. Once I got to that point, I realised that the possibility of wearing the yellow jersey was real, but I still had to cross the finish line.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Tr\u00e6en now leads Quinn by 28 seconds, with Mathias Vacek (Lidl-Trek), who was also in the break, third overall at 3:53. Previous race leader Poga\u010dar is fourth at a significant 7:53. Poga\u010dar has never been so far down on the yellow jersey.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Tr\u00e6en is expected to be able to defend his lead on Wednesday&#8217;s first sprint stage to Pau and on the mountainous stage 6 that climbs the Col du Tourmalet. He could stay in yellow deep into the second week, until the mountain stages in the Vosges and the high Alps.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Step by step, year by year, we&#8217;re working hard as Norway and Denmark together,&#8221; Hushovd said of the Uno-X Mobility project.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We have a different team compared to others. We&#8217;re a Scandinavian team with riders only from Norway and Denmark. That makes it more complicated because we can&#8217;t hire riders from many different countries. But it makes us very proud when we pull off a major goal like taking the Tour de France yellow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Uno-X Mobility also have Tobias Halland Johannessen, who finished sixth overall in the 20125 Tour and Jonas Abrahamsen, who won a stage in 2025. Tr\u00e6en went on to finish ninth overall at the Vuelta in 2025 during a two-season hiatus at Bahrain Victorious.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Husdhovd made it clear they are not done yet.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;It&#8217;s possible to support Tobias Halland Johannessen because he wants to do even better this year than last year. This jersey can help motivate the whole team. We know we can do much more and we want more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-e82be570-7a50-11f1-acc9-3d6193e1c8c3\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NnNHDojzJ7JYKqMo89sQXX-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Team Uno-X Mobility celebrate at podium for teammate Torstein Traeen of Norway as the leader of the Tour de France <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr id=\"elk-40b2a90a-7a50-11f1-afad-b9a1489a34f3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<p id=\"elk-40b2a98c-7a50-11f1-921d-f5de85b8be84\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The world\u2019s biggest bike race deserves world-class coverage.
