Vingegaard Gears Up for Tour de France
Jonas Vingegaard is currently preparing for the Tour de France as he trains in Spain's Sierra Nevada. Despite limited racing participation this season, he remains hopeful about his performance in the prestigious event set to begin on July 5.
Confidence Amidst Limited Racing
With a sparse schedule this year, Vingegaard has faced a series of challenges, including a crash during the Paris-Nice race, which led to injuries and a concussion. This setback kept him off the bike until recently. However, he has demonstrated a gradual increase in confidence during his training sessions.
Recovering from Injury
The recovery process for Vingegaard has not been straightforward. Initially, he experienced severe symptoms that required significant rest, stating that he could only manage a few hours awake before needing to sleep again. This interruption disrupted his regular training schedule.
Incremental Training Progress
After a week of recovery, Vingegaard resumed training, cautiously rebuilding his stamina and strength. Although he had initially intended to participate in various races leading up to the Tour, he has since refined his focus to ensure he is fully prepared for the main event.
Strategic Focus on the Tour
As the Tour de France approaches, Vingegaard’s training in Sierra Nevada emphasizes regaining his form and readiness for the challenges ahead. Despite having fewer competitive days this year, Vingegaard’s optimism reflects his belief in progressing toward peak performance.
