Jonas Vingegaard overcomes Paris-Nice injuries but will not compete until the Criterium du Dauphine in June: "I'm training again without any problems"

The anticipated showdown between Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel at the Tour de Romandie won’t happen, as only Evenepoel will compete. Vingegaard, absent since abandoning Paris-Nice last month, where teammate Matteo Jorgenson claimed victory, won’t race again until the Critérium du Dauphiné in June.

This week, Vingegaard conducted wind tunnel testing in Aalborg to prepare for the Tour de France. “To prepare for the Tour,” the Dane explains on Team Visma | Lease a Bike's website. “The focus was mainly on my position on the bike. It’s important to work on that, we don’t want to leave anything to chance.”

His recent injuries are fully behind him, “I no longer suffer from my concussion or other ailments. It was a real shame that I couldn't finish Paris-Nice and that I also had to skip the Tour of Catalonia. But now I'm training again without any problems and I'm already looking forward to a first altitude training camp.”

His team shared an update on social media, “I'm training without any problems and will soon head to the altitude camp. I’m really looking forward to racing again.” Vingegaard, the 2023 Dauphiné champion, will face stiff competition at the upcoming race, with both Tadej Pogacar and Evenepoel also competing. The two-time Tour de France winner is determined to reclaim the yellow jersey from Pogacar, who secured his third Tour victory in 2024.
