Trine Vingegaard Hansen, the wife of Jonas Vingegaard, went up to the niche to attack the Visma team, forcing his boss to react.
The Visma-Lease A Bike struck the Tour de France from the start. Thanks to a magnificent border about ten kilometers from the finish, Jonas Vingegaard and Matteo Jorgenson took time to all their competitors, if not Tadej Pogacar. A great accounting operation for the Danish runner and his American lieutenant.
The screw is determined to harass Tadej Pogacar on this Tour de France. A demanding method that does not fit badly… Trine Vingegaard Hansen, the wife of Jonas Vingegaard.
“Knowing Jonas as I know him, I would say that the team pushes him too far now”She thus entrusted in the columns of Politiken.
“I’m afraid he is burning the candle by both ends. I think people sometimes forget the human being behind the athlete – and how to make the most of it. It could turn against them », She added, regretting too frequent distance from the double winner of the Tour de France.
“Jonas needs to be at home in Denmark”
“Jonas does not recharge himself with another three -week internship at altitude with the team”she continued, adding: “He needs to be at home in Denmark, with us, to feel fully himself. He is deeply attached to his habits. Sometimes he needs to recharge his batteries in the most total, just with his family. It is an important part of his personality and his success. ”
Trine Vingegaard Hansen also pointed out the ways of doing Dutch training after the concussion suffered by her husband on the last Paris-Nice. These heavy accusations forced Grischa Niermann, sports director of Visma-Lease in Bike, to react.
“You must of course ask him, but I think it may be a bit exaggerated, he said. We work very well together with Jonas, but also with Trine. We always check it all together. For example, this winter, we discussed the fact that Jonas would not go to the altitude camp in February and that he would stay with his family. Of course, the sacrifice is necessary, Jonas knows it better than anyone. With the preparation of the tower, he was often far from home, but that is also why he is in this current form. »»
