Injured Jonas Vingegaard ends season following Tour de France crash
COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Two-time Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard will not participate in any races this season following a collarbone fracture sustained during the Tour de France, according to his team's statement on Monday. The Danish cyclist, who clinched a career sweep of the three Grand Tours with victories in the Giro d’Italia and Paris-Nice, announced his decision in a statement released by his team, Team Visma-Lease a Bike.
Vingegaard, 29, explained that his delayed training due to the injury has hindered his ability to return to his peak performance in the near future. The only possible goals for the remainder of the season, he noted, would be the world championships road race in Montreal on September 27 and the one-day classic Tour of Lombardy on October 10. Vingegaard emphasized that his primary focus now is on preparing optimally for the 2027 season.
