‘Walk first, ride indoors and then on the road’ – Jonas Vingegaard’s road to recovery after Itzulia crash

Jonas Vingegaard and his Visma-Lease a Bike team will better understand if the Dane can recover in time to ride the 2024 Tour de France within the next two weeks, with his recovery and gradual return to training to follow a walking, indoor riding and then outdoor riding process.   

Vingegaard left hospital in the Basque Country on Monday, 12 days after his high-speed crash at the Itzulia Basque Country race. The two-time Tour de France winner suffered a fractured collarbone and several ribs, plus a pulmonary contusion and a pneumothorax, with the lung injuries causing his long stay in hospital.
