Jacques has confirmed his climbing pedigree throughout his career, consistently climbing well in support of his team at various grand tours.
Jacques was a part of Africa’s first team in the Tour de France, with MTN-Qhubeka in 2015 ‘flying the flag’, competing in the colours of the South African National Champion.
Jacques fell just short of a stage win at the 2017 Vuelta a Espana, a highlight of his career.
