Jonas Vingegaard spotted training in Mallorca with a new tattoo

As usual for the not often eloquent Jonas Vingegaard, we haven't heard much from the Dane since his terrible crash at Itzulia Basque Country. The two-time Tour de France champion was looking to wrap up his, until that moment successful, spring at the Spanish WT stage race by challenging the likes of Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglic for a prestigious victory.
His team Visma | Lease a Bike kept feeding us with sporadic updates on Vingegaard's road to recovery towards the French grand tour but it's third parties that often manage to dig out some extra information, just like in this case.
From the looks of it, things seem to be going in the right direction for Jonas Vingegaard. The Dane of Visma | Lease a Bike was recently spotted training in Denmark again, but is currently in Mallorca for a training camp.
While climbing the Coll de Sóller, he stopped for a coffee at the Ca'n Topa Cafe and of course it couldn't go without a picture with the fans he encountered there. "Super fit," he is called by the owners.
However what is more striking is what appears to be a tattoo on the ivory white forearm of the silent Vingegaard. Who would have thought that the timid Dane would sport a butterfly on his forearm? Perhaps he plans to sting like a bee and fly like a butterfly at Tour de France? We'll have to wait and see in July.

- What I meant is that he makes humourous comments too often, so it becomes too much, the humour is wasted, and that's why it has been interpreted as arrogant. I'm no Pogačar hater - I do not believe in hate speech towards any rider (well, maybe Mario Cippolini), so let's just agree to disagree on this matter. On a happier note, I would pick Merlier for today's stage, because I think it'll be chaotic, and today is as close as it gets to a one day race
Llywelynglyndwr05-07-2025 - Did the other applicants paperwork 'accidentally' go missing?
santiagobenites05-07-2025 - yeah, so sad...
maria2024202405-07-2025 - Police are better than jihadist with a suicide vest.
Front24205-07-2025 - I find this Pog hating really disturbing. And, ironically, the hating itself often comes across as arrogant. And weird, like when a commentator said, as Pog gave a quick, cheerful smile as a cameraman passed him on a bike, 'There's Pogacar playing up to the cameras'. Then Jonas was filmed really hamming it up for the cameras with a fixed grin and sardonic little wave for at least five seconds, and the commentator said nothing. (Not blaming Jonas, just the biased commentators and reporters)Hill3305-07-2025
- I would take that "not looked at the stages" comment with a pinch of salt. What rider doesn't look at the stage profiles? Plapp knows full well what is ahead of him in the race. This is just a throwaway comment.Cyclingsbestfan05-07-2025
- Roglic gives the best interviews, IMO. He is entertaining and straightforward in a way similar to Peter Sagan. And similar to Vincenzo Nibali, Roglic doesn't boast or make bold predictions. When all factors go right for him, he often delivers the goods. One of my favorite riders in forty years. He and Kuss made a great duo.itsent05-07-2025
- I couldn't agree more, why Soler? He's disobedient, irrational with his absurd "attacks". Only with Pogacar acts as a domestique but disrespects all other team leaders. I don't get why is in the Tour de France or.. even more, why is in the UAE team. A crazy element, a "caballo loco" who doesn't contribute to the teams.maria2024202405-07-2025
- They'll need Soler to assist if Tadej cracks terribly and still want others in the team to keep their podium. That's my guess.
KerisVroom05-07-2025 - bad planning. How do you expect to take advantage if you dont even know the terrain.abstractengineer05-07-2025
If he's not currently training with his team mates in Sierra Nevada right now then I doubt very much he's going to TDF.
Zeeman said very shortly after Jonas' crash that he would not be joining them in Sierra Nevada. They are hoping he can join the altitude camp that is scheduled for the Tour team after the Dauphine. In Tignes, I believe.
He's training in Mallorca right now.
