Jonas Vingegaard is back to racing already this Saturday and has confirmed his participation at both Clásica San Sebastián and the Tour de Pologne. It is a change in schedule and the Team Visma | Lease a Bike rider is motivated to have an impact throughout the upcoming days of racing.
"I was very tired after the Tour. For five days, I did absolutely nothing. I recharged my batteries and then started training again. Everything went well. I currently feel fresh and am ready to take on the next two races," Vingegaard said in a press release. "It will be special to return to the Basque Country after everything that happened a few months ago. Fortunately, I also have many good memories of that region, so I am really looking forward to racing there again."
In April, it was on these roads that he crashed and suffered massive injuries. He did however manage to return in time for the Tour de France, where he rode to a second place only behind Tadej Pogacar. He was exhausted by the end of it but after some recovery, he is back to competition now. "The race in San Sebastián and the Tour of Poland are two beautiful races. Moreover, I have a special bond with Poland. It was where I achieved my first victory in the WorldTour,"
Pologne saw him win back in 2019, before he evolved into a climber. It was his first pro win, and he hasn't returned ever since. He will naturally be the headliner of the World Tour race, although it doesn't feature long climbs where he could be ahead of the competition.
"It feels like I still have something to prove there. In 2019, I won the queen stage. I then started [the final stage] in the leader’s jersey, but I couldn’t secure the overall victory. I am determined to win this year, but of course, the competition is not to be underestimated."
"In San Sebastián, the hardest parts are at the end of the race. In Poland, the beginning will also be very tough. There is a very challenging stage at the end of the race too, so we will need to stay focused all week. I hope to compete for the highest possible result in both races," he concluded.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
