Full profile
Jonas Vingegaard is one of the era’s most consistent Grand Tour contenders, distinguished by durable climbing, controlled pacing and repeated pressure on decisive mountain days. He finished second at his first Tour in 2021 and won in 2022 and 2023. After a major Basque Country crash, he returned for second plus a stage win in 2024. He won the 2025 Vuelta, Denmark’s first, and won his Giro debut in 2026 to complete victories in all three Grand Tours. A collarbone fracture ended his 2026 Tour and shifted the rest of his season to recovery.
