Jordan Jegat targets Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes comeback

Jordan Jegat will test his fitness at the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes starting Sunday. The TotalEnergies climber returns after a winter hampered by knee pain.

TotalEnergies confirmed Jegat’s participation in the revamped stage race. The event replaces the traditional Critérium du Dauphiné. Jegat aims to regain confidence after an interrupted preparation.

The Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes serves as a World Tour preparation for Jegat. He seeks to prove his form before the staff continues its search for a new owner next season.

TotalEnergies’ squad includes Jegat alongside teammates targeting stage victories. The team’s focus remains on building momentum ahead of key races.

Vendée-based TotalEnergies faces uncertainty over its future ownership. The search continues despite Jegat’s return to competition.

Jegat’s first major test comes amid recovery from persistent knee discomfort. His performance will be closely monitored by staff and fans alike.
