Jonas Vingegaard heading to Vuelta a Espana after Tour de France triumph
CyclingMonday, 24 July 2023 at 09:45
Jonas Vingegaard is riding the Vuelta a Espana. Jumbo-Visma have told Wielerflits that after his Tour de France triumph the Dane will be riding his second Grand Tour of the season, where he will team up with Primoz Roglic.
This week a provisional lineup for the Dutch team's Vuelta stint was made public and included nine riders which featured Sepp Kuss who is now completing his second Grand Tour of the season, but no Edoardo Affini and naturally, no Jonas Vingegaard. However after his Tour victory has been virtually sealed this Saturday, and in great form and consistency, the Dane may be now eyeing the Vuelta.
This would not be a debut in fact, as Vingegaard's first Grand Tour - and only outside the Tour de France - was indeed the 2020 Vuelta a Espana, where he helped Primoz Roglic to overall victory and had a breakthrough as a climber. It was a moment of spark in his career, and now he is set to return likely with similar goals.

Primoz Roglic and Jonas Vingegaard have now virtually conquered both Grand Tours this season for Jumbo-Visma and can be considered big favourites to take a third one for the Dutch team, but will face tough competition as reigning champion Remco Evenepoel, Geraint Thomas, Remco Evenepoel and Enric Mas will all be at the start in Barcelona in late August.

- That sucks
ChillingCyclist05-02-2026 - If a bit more of cycling money was available for organisers to invest in security, it wouldn’t be so bad. Counting on volunteers is getting harder every year and it’s understandable. I have no problem sacrificing my time for amateur events where we are all equal but it’s very different making the same decision for pros when I see events depend more and more on ever less people sacrificing and suffering (try dealing with hotheaded car drivers on the road when given zero authority or tools before questioning that) while knowing it’s for an elite bunch earning more and more and who rarely show any appreciation or respect towards volunteers (understandably in the heat of racing but they would do well to think about this a bit in their time off, a tiny gesture would be all that’s needed to motivate volunteers to continue).Mistermaumau05-02-2026
- Statistics are useful but don’t tell the whole story and it would be very tedious to discuss and compare wins which are not all equal. Remco’s wins will be transferred this year but almost all of “PL”’s wins were sprints and have nothing to do with teaching a rider tactics for tours. This season the results may level out a bit. That said, CH is hit and miss (and quite a lot miss) but so tedious to follow I cannot be bothered to read all his contributions and I’ll give this one a miss, and, as I’m no hypocrite, everyone is welcome to do the same with me :-)Mistermaumau05-02-2026
- If he’s doing this EVERY round, what was happening on the parts he couldn’t see?Mistermaumau05-02-2026
- Especially since we now know he’s not a great fan of long indoor trainer sessions. Going to be real hard for him. Might make Tour stages more interesting though if he has to skip most of the spring.Mistermaumau05-02-2026
- No strong man can hold off a coordinated peloton for a long distance. The problem is convincing the peloton to work together. There's no way another team want to burn their matches just so you can jump on them when they have burned their matches closing the gap.

- yeah, love the questioning of tactics. they are the current greatest grand tour team. Tadej is the greatest GT rider. there is a difference. I don’t think anyone should question TVLmij05-02-2026
- Horner is such an idiot and blowhard. and I think basic facts prove him to be very wrong. a quick google search reveals “In 2025, Soudal Quick-Step achieved 54 victories. Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe secured 23 victories in 2025.” Considering PL’s team had over double the wins of Denk’s, I would argue PL knows tactics pretty well. and when it comes to competing against MVDP and Tadej, all the tactics in the world don’t matter when you are simply ridden off the wheel.mij05-02-2026
