Aside from his professional career on the bike, Jonas Vingegaard is a proud and devout family man and recently welcomed a second child with wife Trine Marie Hansen. For the first time, the Danish star has now spoken out on how life as a father of two is going.

"It is of course different to be the father of two than to be the father of one. There is a little more work in it, but it is also fantastic, says Vingegaard to the Danish press, with quotes collected by Ekstra Bladet, from a Bygma sponsor event in Vejle. "We are insanely happy to have two children now. It has really been quiet since the off-season. I continued to train for a bit and then took a little break. For a long time I have been training 10-12 hours a week."

As mentioned, with a young daughter already at home, Vingegaard's family is growing. "Frida thinks it's fun to be a sister most of the time," the Team Visma | Lease a Bike leader says of the budding relationship between siblings. "There are also times when it's not the coolest. That's how it is. Basically, she thinks it's great to be a big sister. She takes good care of him. We are waiting a bit for the name. He has not been baptized yet."

Despite the rigours of being a professional cyclist, Vingegaard is also determined to play his part as a father when at home. "I try to help where I can. I do take some nappies when I'm home. I still think I'm a bit behind in terms of the accounts, if you have to do the maths. I try to be there for Frida but also to change her nappy. I try to play with Frida, but also to be there for both of them," he explains. "He is two and a half months old now. We have had family visiting as well. Everyone has seen him. Everyone thinks he's absolutely fantastic, just like I think he is."

is it normal in Denmark not to have a name for the baby after 2 month of his birth? how is the baby officially registered in the municipality/commune? is it not immediate?

In Italy you have few days, no more than 10 days.

Rules are very different from country to country and evolve with time. At one point I couldn’t even give my son my nationality because being unmarried, you’d have to register at least 3 months before the birth, a time when many people know neither the name or sex, and actually, no-one even knows if the birth will take place. In England there is now a kid with the wrong sex on his birth certificate as mistakes (even if by an administration) can no longer be corrected. I just had a 3rd child, we discovered a bump on his head at 2 weeks that wasn’t there 24h before, we ended up at the police accused of child abuse and about to have him taken from us due to staff incompetence and inexperience. Luckily a pediatric neurosurgeon has now confirmed this is not so uncommon after natural childbirth without instruments but most medical employees aren’t informed of it so automatically accuse parents of negligence/lying whatever. We discovered an association that already helped over 1000 wrongly accused couples (just those who found the association in just one country). I almost got arrested in one country for forgery after trying to convert my driver’s license as they thought I must have tampered the dates to get it aged 17 which isn’t possible for them. I can’t access half official services because the online forms are not set up to accept foreign phone number as data but a number is obligatory. That’s just a quick start, anyone who’s ever had to move internationally will confirm, there’s very little that’s not done differently elsewhere than “at home” The world is full of bureaucratic shit destroying society.

First of all, I hope now all is ok with your baby!. Yeah, about to not accept foreign phone number is a big problem also for me. I have economic interests in 2 countries, I think that all can be ok with my Italian number... but NO! The world is globalized but not for bureaucracies.

Yes, thank you Maria. He has a fractured skull but no pain or sequels and there should be no consequences after the small bump deflates. If anything, he is more likely to get something from the radiation he received when they “investigated” for abuse, CT scan, MRI, a dozen x-rays and he will have to have a follow up scan too. But as said, all due to childbirth, if we hadn’t noticed or worried and not taken him to emergencies, he’d have had no tests at all and instead of one to check the fracture wasn’t serious he got far more :-(
