Jonas Vingegaard, this year’s Giro d’Italia winner as well as the Paris-Nice and Volta a Catalunya in March, will not race again this season as he recovers from a fractured collarbone, ruling him out of next month’s UCI world road championships in Montreal from September 20-27. The Dane crashed during the 15th stage of last month’s Tour, requiring surgery. The one-day Tour of Lombardy in October might have been another target. After a long and intense racing period, a recovery period was planned after the Tour de France anyway. Due to the collarbone injury, the start of his training has been delayed, and it is not possible for him to get back to top level in the coming period. The focus is on preparing optimally for the goals of the 2027 season. The team’s head of racing, Marc Reef, said it was best for the rider to focus on next season, outlining a training build-up and goals for the new year over the coming weeks.
