In truth, it seemed like quite an innocuous crash. Jonas Vingegaard tumbled off his bike with 84km to go on stage five of Paris-Nice earlier this month, cutting his upper lip, and appearing to hurt his wrist. At the time, he was leading the race, and not willing to cede much time, the Visma-Lease a Bike rider jumped back on his bike, as riders normally do. There was no immediate cause for concern, although after the stage, the Dane was shown in discomfort, holding his wrist as he was examined by a team doctor.
However, later, his teammate Victor Campenaerts said Vingegaard told him he was experiencing "dizziness" during the stage. "Given the circumstances, it's very impressive that he finished this stage. I didn't get the impression that he was very lucid," Campenaerts told Sporza.
