Career
Laporte was a member of Cofidis from 2014 to 2021.
He was named in the Team Cofidis start list for the Tour de France for seven consecutive years between 2015 and 2021,[5][6] completing all but one of them.
In 2022 he joined Jumbo-Visma, among the most powerful teams in cycling, and in his first major stage race with the team led the podium sweep with Primož Roglič and Wout Van Aert on stage 1 of Paris–Nice.[7] In the 2022 Tour de France, he was a key teammate of leader Jonas Vingegaard, was instrumental in helping the team win three different jerseys, and also won stage 19 at Cahors.[8] This was a rare win in that he attacked after the sprint trains were already operating at top speed, and actually held off the remaining elite sprinters long enough to win the stage.
