Client: Team Jumbo-Visma
Location: Brussels, Belgium

The first stage of the 2019 Tour de France saw Dylan Groenewegen, Jumbo Visma’s target man, hit the deck with the finish line nearly in sight. This meant my team’s dream of seizing the yellow jersey evaporated just like that. That is, if it weren’t for Mike Teunissen doing the impossible and surprising even himself. This series picks up with Mike just as he crossed the finish line and was still waiting for the final results to come in.

For another take on this, be sure to view this short video the team made of this extraordinary day.
