Two-time Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard has recovered in time to defend his title although there are still doubts about his ability to be competitive. Vingegaard was in a high-speed, multi-rider crash in Spain in April and sustained a broken collarbone and ribs and a collapsed lung.
BRUSSELS — Two-time Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard has recovered in time to defend his title next week although there are still doubts about his ability to be competitive.
His trusted teammate Wout van Aert, who broke his collarbone and several ribs in March in another crash, will also race in support of Vingegaard.“I am excited to start the Tour. The last few months have not always been easy,” Vingegaard said. “We have worked together to get to this moment and, of course, I am very excited to see where I stand. I feel good and very motivated.
“Of course, this was not the plan initially, but after my development in the last weeks, I really wanted it, and the team agreed,” the Van Aert said. “Our main goal is, of course, to ride a top classification with Jonas. I want to contribute to that with an excellent team.”
