Jonas Vingegaard started his season at the Volta ao Algarve and although he looked far from his best regarding climbing form, it was enough for him to win the overall classification. At
Paris-Nice he seemed to have the same level, but a crash left him with a hand injury that forced him to abandon the race. Team Visma | Lease a Bike provide an update on the Dane.
The former Tour de France winner does not have a great relationship with the French race, having been beaten brutally by Tadej Pogacar back in 2023, and now having to abandon after crashing in the yellow jersey. A face injury was visible, but it was the pain in his hand that caused the most problems, specially preventing him from braking properly.
