  "account": "Dane Jonas Vingegaard will not participate in any races this season as he recovers from a fractured collarbone sustained during the Tour de France, according to his Visma-Lease a Bike team. The 29-year-old underwent surgery after crashing during the 15th stage of the Tour last month. The UCI world road championships, scheduled for September 20-27 in Montreal, is one event he will miss. An October Tour of Lombardy may have been another potential target. Vingegaard, who also won the Giro d'Italia and Paris-Nice, as well as the Volta a Catalunya in March, confirmed in a team statement that his recovery period was planned following a grueling racing season. He admitted that his training has been delayed and he cannot return to top form in the near future. Team racing director Marc Reef stated that focusing on the 2027 season goals is the best course of action at this time. Together with Vingegaard, they will devise an appropriate training plan and set objectives for the new year over the coming weeks.",
