"I think Jonas is an extra challenge and just as Tadej made the effort last year to be there, we don't know if Vingegaard is going to do the same, it's complicated to analyze him well because we don't know how much he is damaged, how long he has been stopped, if he has been able to at least walk a little bit to maintain himself a little bit," Contador says.
"In terms of weight we see him well, which is what we can analyze and I think he will be at the start of the Tour de France," the Spaniard concludes. "Maybe not with the guarantees of other years, but I think he will be at the start."
