Sometimes it feels like more things go wrong than right for Jonas Vingegaard. He's won two Tours de France, yes, but he's lost more than that, and aside from the grave misfortune of racing in the era of Tadej Pogačar, his bids to return to the top step in Paris have often been blighted by bad luck.
In 2024, he was the victim of an awful crash at Itzulia, suffering horrible injuries that he somehow recovered from in time to start, but he wasn't fully himself at that Tour. In 2025, a crash and concussion at Paris-Nice saw him injured again, and his preparation plans were disrupted once more.
