Hushovd screws up Tour de France expectations: Not many have it as a goal

The article discusses the progress and performance of cyclist Tobias Halland Johannessen, focusing on his improved form and training regimen ahead of the 2025 Tour de France. Despite facing injuries in previous seasons, including back and knee issues and a broken fibula, Johannessen has shown significant improvement this year, achieving strong results in races such as Tirreno-Adriatico and Baskerland. His coach, Thor Hushovd, praises his abilities and sets ambitious goals for him, aiming for a top-four finish in the Tour de France. Training data from Uno-X reveals substantial increases in training hours, work intensity, and climbing time, attributed to Johannessen's injury-free season and consistent training. The team has also relocated to high-altitude camps in Sierra Nevada to optimize preparation.

– Jeg har gjort det vanskelig for meg selv

Jonas Abrahamsen, 30-year-old Norwegian cyclist, has become a national cycling star after achieving success in the Tour de France over two years. In 2024, he led climbing and points classifications and had the most kilometers in breakaways, while in 2025, he won Uno-X's first stage victory in the race in five years. His rise has made him a known figure in the peloton, increasing his market value. However, this visibility comes with challenges, as he now faces greater pressure during races. After experiencing burnout due to overcommitment, Abrahamsen adjusted his approach, leading to a stage win and promotion to top level with Uno-X. He feels better prepared for this year's Tour de France, focusing on specific stages where he can contribute while supporting team captain Tobias Halland Johannessen, who the team believes could achieve a historic result. Additionally, Abrahamsen and his sponsor Aunt Mable have launched a collaboration to create cookies for cyclists, with Uno-X as their first client.
