Paris-Nice 2025, Vingegaard falls and retires: his conditions

Rome, 14 March 2025 - His season started well with a fairly comfortable victory at Volta ao Algarve 2025, but from the next one Paris-Nice 2025 no good news coming for jonas vingegaard, victim of a fall that cost him his retirement and a lot of fear.  

What happened to Vingegaard at Paris-Nice 2025

  It all happened in the stage 5 and to be precise when there were 84 km to go to the finish line: the Dane had barely managed to get his bike to the finish line, even though he had to hand over the symbol of the lead to his teammate Matteo Jorgenson on the feast day of lenny martinez. Immediately after the finish line, the two-time winner of the Tour de France had abandoned his classic rather cold image to make room for tears of pain that did not bode well, as did the strong pain he felt in one hand and his bloody lips. The same Jorgenson, immediately after the stage, had let his fears at home be understood Visma-Lease a Bike on a possible fracture to the limb of their captain, who was also struggling to brake. Instead, the tests the next day did not reveal anything more than a simple contusion, albeit a very strong one and to be evaluated in the continuation of the program vingegaard, which after the Paris-Nice would have foreseen (the conditional is a must at this point) the Tour of Catalonia and Dauphiné Tour: this last race, starting in mid-June and preparatory to the Tour de France, is still very far away to the point of not leaving any shadows in this regard, while on the Spanish appointment, scheduled for the end of the month, new evaluations will be made. The focus will be on the physical conditions of the Dane and his hand, but also on his psychological ones, still affected by the accident last spring at Tour of the Basque Country which, ironically, had been recalled just a few days ago: vingegaard had recalled the consequences, much more serious than what was initially leaked to the public, and had also added a general warning on the dangers of cycling today, to the point of advising his children against this sport in the future. Another twist of fate, curiously now both rivals of the next Tour de France, and all previous ones 4, are stuck in the pits due to some more or less annoying ailments. Said of the standard-bearer of the Visma-Lease a Bike, not even Tadej pogacar he is doing much better after the fall he suffered 2025 Roads, but at least that afternoon of Siena managed to bring home the third success in Piazza del Campo. At the same time, neither has suffered serious long-term consequences that could undermine the progress towards Great Boucle: with a big asterisk for Slovenian, which will be very present in the Classics of spring, unlike its arch rival. And this is nothing new.
