Jonas Vingegaard has responded to Remco Evenepoel’s accusations that he didn’t have ‘the balls to race’ during Sunday’s gravel stage at the Tour de France, saying with a smile that he was focused on ‘riding smart.’
Vingegaard and his Visma-Lease a Bike team rode defensively through the stage over the 14 gravel sectors near Troyes in central France, keen to limit the risk of losing time or going mano-a-mano with his biggest Tour rivals, especially Tadej Pogačar.
