Jonas Vingegaard Eyes Paris-Nice Victory After Strong Start to Season
Jonas Vingegaard, the young Danish cyclist, has started the season on a high note, winning the Volta ao Algarve in Portugal. His coach, Tim Heemskerk, attributes his success to Vingegaard's focus and lack of distraction from media. Vingegaard is now set to start Paris-Nice as the overall favourite, with the goal of securing an outright victory.
Vingegaard's start to the season has been promising, with Heemskerk expecting an improved 'Jonas 2.0' when he begins serious preparations for the Tour de France this summer. Last year, Vingegaard skipped Paris-Nice to ride Tirreno-Adriatico, where he took two stage wins and the overall title. This year, he is fully focused on Paris-Nice, aiming for the overall victory.
Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar, his main rival, have different racing schedules leading up to the Tour de France. However, Vingegaard is not interested in media discussions about their schedules. Instead, he is concentrated on his own performance. In 2024, Vingegaard was involved in a crash at Itzulia Basque Country but recovered remarkably to finish second at the Tour de France and win the Tour de Pologne.
Jonas Vingegaard is poised to make a significant impact at Paris-Nice, with his sights set on the overall victory. His coach's confidence in his focus and ability, coupled with his impressive recovery from past setbacks, positions him as a strong contender in the upcoming race and beyond.
