The comments made by the woman – and agent – by Jonas Vingegaard clearly was not to the taste of Wout Van Aert.
The Visma-Lease A Bike started the Tour de France very well. Consequence of his border then from 1era
stage. If Tadej Pogacar did not let themselves be trapped, all the other podium candidates have lost time on Jonas Vingaard, who is already in third place in the general classification, only a few seconds out of seconds by Mathieu Van der Poel and Tadej Pogacar.
The atmosphere is nonetheless somewhat tense within the Visma. The fault of the remarks made by Trine Vingegaard Hansen, the woman and agent of Jonas Vingegaard. “Knowing Jonas as I know him, I would say that the team pushes him too far now”, he thus entrusted in the columns of
Policy.
“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 continued, adding: “Jonas does not recharge himself with another three -week internship at altitude with the team. 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. ”
“I regret what she says”
And if Grischa Niermann, sports director of Visma-Lease A Bike, reacted shyly, saying only that “It’s exaggerated”, Wout van Aert was more scathing.
“I regret what she says, but we talked about it yesterday and I think everyone in our team knows what to do with me. After all, we have multiple goals and Jonas knows it too. It is thanks to this approach that we have succeeded several times ”, He launched to Nieuwsblad on Monday.
As for the interested party, he preferred to kick in touch.
“I haven’t read the article, he blown. I just heard, so I’m not 100 % sure of what is said. I do not read the media when I drive, so it is difficult for me to answer this question. Of course, there are a lot of training and internship courses at altitude in the year, so it’s necessarily difficult for family life, but I continue to ride and I have not yet done burnout. »»
