Jonas Vingegaard in 2023? Fans disappointed after interview with Danish broadcaster

Jonas Vingegaard will enter a period of rest: the two-time Tour champion has no more scheduled competitions for the remainder of 2023. He announced this in a conversation with Danish TV 2 Sport.

Last Sunday, Vingegaard finished second in the Vuelta a España, behind his teammate Sepp Kuss. His wife and daughter were in Madrid to welcome him. “It was incredible. I also saw them in the morning because we had some time. It was incredibly good to see them in the morning. I’m looking forward to the rest period and will make the most of it, spending time with them,” the Slovenian revealed, implying that we won’t see him in action again this year.

Vingegaard had yet another particularly successful season. He won the Tour de France for the second time. Additionally, he claimed victory in the Tour of the Basque Country and the Critérium du Dauphiné. He finished third in Paris-Nice and second in the Vuelta a España. Vingegaard did not participate in any one-day races this year. With 68 race days under his belt, a well-deserved break seems highly plausible.
