Søren Wærenskjold wins the fastest Tour de France stage ever on the Noah Fast

  • News
What a Tour de France it has been for Uno-X! After Torstein Træen spent two days in the yellow jersey, Søren Wærenskjold claimed victory in Stage 11 from Vichy to Nevers on Wednesday. What makes this win even more remarkable is that it came in the fastest Tour de France stage ever. With an average speed of 50.91 km/h, an incredible record was broken. The fact that this historic stage was won aboard a Noah Fast makes it even more special for all of us.

After the dream start of wearing yellow during the opening week, this Tour de France was already a success for Uno-X and Ridley. Yet the Norwegian team showed an unstoppable hunger for more. Søren Wærenskjold had already finished second in a stage, while Tobias Halland Johannessen also came close with a runner-up finish. On Wednesday, the reward finally came. The Norwegian sprinter took advantage of a chaotic final kilometre to open a small gap and hold on all the way to the finish. It's certainly no coincidence that this victory was achieved on a Noah Fast. This bike is built for speed.

In 2025, aerodynamics is everything! Ridley’s product developers started with a blank slate for the third generation of the Noah Fast. The result is a 100% aero bike. At a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, the Noah Fast is 8.5 watts faster than its predecessor. This underscores that aerodynamics are rooted in Ridley’s DNA.

Until the end of the Tour, you can bring a piece of this story into your own home. The Noah Fast in the yellow jersey design has been added to the configurator and can be selected at no additional cost.

Win a Yellow Noah Fast through Vive le Vélo – all proceeds go to Kom op tegen Kanker

Torstein Træen is currently wearing the yellow jersey at the Tour de France, but the Norwegian has already overcome his share of adversity. In 2022, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Fortunately, doctors caught the disease at an early stage, allowing him to make a full recovery. Because so many people are still fighting this devastating illness, we've decided to dedicate a replica of his yellow Noah Fast to a good cause. You can win it through Vive le Vélo. Text "GELE FIETS" to 4342. Please note: the number only works from within Belgium.

From Beringen to the Tour: how the yellow jersey led to a one-of-a-kind Ridley Noah Fast

Some moments in cycling are bigger than a stage victory. When a rider pulls on the yellow jersey at the Tour de France, they make history. Not only for themselves, but also for everyone who helped them along the way. For their team. For their supporters. And sometimes even for the brand they ride. That's exactly what happened when Torstein Træen claimed the yellow jersey after stage four of the 2026 Tour de France. At Ridley, we celebrated the moment like every cycling fan would. But before the champagne had even cooled, a new plan was already taking shape inside our factory in Beringen. Because a yellow jersey deserves a yellow bike.
