Mike Teunissen

Stage races Mike Teunissen (born 25 August 1992) is a Dutch racing cyclist,[7] who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam XDS Astana Team.

He was named to the start list of the 2019 Tour de France, where he was intended to be a leadout man for Dylan Groenewegen.

Late in stage one as the sprint trains were coming together there was a crash, which eliminated Groenewegen's chances and ruined the team's plans of getting the stage win and yellow jersey.

Teunissen seized the moment, knowing he was already in a good position, and went for the stage win anyway.

He just barely edged all-time great Peter Sagan on the line, winning the Yellow Jersey in the process.
