Will Coach Jonas Vingegaard Make It to the Tour de France?
Is he going to make it or not? Jonas Vingegaard is still a doubtful case for the Tour de France (June 29-July 21) after his serious fall in the Tour of the Basque Country. “It’s 50-50 whether Jonas will make it to the Tour,” his coach Tim Heemskerk said in an interview with the Danish BT, giving an update on the situation.
In a previous interview with the newspaper De Limburger, Heemskerk extensively discussed the rehabilitation of the two-time Tour de France winner. In recent weeks, there have been hopeful reports regarding Vingegaard’s participation in the Tour, but his coach still remains cautious. The Danish cyclist is currently undergoing a high-altitude training camp in Tignes with Wout van Aert (also uncertain) and Christophe Laporte.
“His level is good enough to be here (in Tignes, red.) and that is positive,” Heemskerk now tells BT. “The guys from the Critérium du Dauphiné will be joining from Thursday. Jonas had to follow a program in recent weeks if he wanted to keep the hope of being ready for the Tour.”
A crucial week lies ahead for Vingegaard, as his coach emphasizes the importance of how his body will react to the intense training week he has just completed. The upcoming two weeks are crucial towards the Tour de France. According to the coach, Jonas needs to feel the “wow” factor himself, the feeling that things are improving. He still needs a few good weeks of training to make progress.
Stay tuned for updates on whether Jonas Vingegaard will be able to compete in the Tour de France.
