Mathieu Van Der Poel Vs Wout Van Aert. The titans are back in the mud, but they are returning to a kingdom that has a new ruler.
While Mathieu Van Der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Wout Van Aert (Visma | Lease a Bike) have been resting, the 2025/26 season has been dominated by one man: Thibau Nys. (Also racing Road UCI WorldTour with Lidl-Trek 2026)
The young Belgian, and current UCI World Number 1, has ruthlessly capitalized on their absence, racking up wins and an insurmountable points lead. Now, the “Big Two” return with different agendas. MVDP is hunting a record-breaking Rainbow Jersey in Hulst. Wout is on a short, sharp “hit-and-run” campaign. And Nys? He is fighting to prove he can hold the throne when the true Kings are in town.
With only 5 confirmed showdowns between the trio, every race matters. Here is the complete schedule and the tool you need to stream the battles for free.
Jonas Vingegaard 2025 Cervélo S5 size for the Tour de France 2025 is a prime example of a bike tailored for speed, stiffness, and precision handling. Standing at 1m75, the Danish climber raced the entire three-week Grand Tour on a size 51 Cervélo S5, even through the toughest mountain stages. This reflects a growing trend in the pro peloton of using aero bikes across all terrains.
Racing for Team Visma | Lease a Bike in the 2025 UCI WorldTour, Vingegaard once again proved his Grand Tour prowess. He finished 2nd overall in the Tour de France 2025, just behind Tadej Pogačar, and repeated the same result earlier that year at the Critérium du Dauphiné, confirming his strong return to form after his early-season crash. Vingegaard is also scheduled to race the Vuelta a España 2025 in August, aiming to close the season on a high note.
Vingegaard’s 2025 Tour de France Bike – Cervélo S5 Setup
Jonas Vingegaard 2025 Cervélo S5 size 51

Bike Fit & Performance
Jonas rides a smaller 51 cm Cervélo S5 frame. Noticeably more compact than the 54 cm Cervélo R5 he used in 2023 (Also read: Jonas Vingegaard 2023 Bike size here), as covered in my previous review. While the R5 was favored for its lightweight climbing geometry, the shift to the S5 in 2025 reflects a broader strategy by Visma | Lease a Bike: prioritize aerodynamics over grams, especially since UCI weight limits apply regardless of rider size.
To optimize fit and control, Vingegaard compensates for the smaller frame with a long 120 mm stem and ultra-narrow 360 mm handlebars, achieving a low frontal profile ideal for solo efforts and high-speed descents. The S5’s 74.5 mm bottom bracket drop further lowers the rider’s center of gravity, enhancing stability and aero gains.
Another significant evolution is Jonas’s switch from 172.5 mm crank arms in 2023 to 160 mm in 2025. A bold move that would have been unthinkable just a couple of years ago. Yet it aligns with the team’s pursuit of efficiency and pedaling fluidity in aggressive race positions.
The decision to race the Cervélo S5 throughout the mountains was clearly calculated. With smart wheel swaps like the Reserve Variante setup for climbing days, and a lightweight 1x SRAM Red AXS drivetrain, the team maximized stiffness and drag reduction without compromising on total bike weight.
🏁 Performance Recap
Vingegaard’s second-place finish at the 2025 Tour de France confirms his place at the top of pro cycling. His all-aero approach, minimalist drivetrain, and compact fit show a rider and team obsessing over every detail. The use of the same Cervélo S5 across all terrains is a testament to confidence in the equipment and optimization of setup.
