As his season comes to a close, Jonas Vingegaard is already planning for the 2026 season. Next year, his goals are once again ambitious. The Dane is hoping to go for dubs at both the Giro d\u2019Italia and the Tour de France.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have my wishes, but we also need to look at it as a team. What our goals will be for next season,\u201d Vingegaard said to Danish TV. He added that the Tour de France will continue to be a major target for him. However, that will depend if he thinks he can win it. The past few years Tadej Poga\u010dar has won the race, with Vingegaard finishing second.<\/p>\n
Vingegaard also looked back on his 2025 season. Although he didn\u2019t win the Tour he was happy to win the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a. He described his year as \u201cnot the best I\u2019ve had, but not the worst either.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Vingegaard competed in his first one-day race in some time, the European Championships. He wasn\u2019t sure how he\u2019d fare as he\u2019d been off the bike for two weeks.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had to take more time off the bike than I had hoped. It took two weeks before I had the ability to train again. Not because I didn\u2019t want to, it was because I couldn\u2019t,\u201d he told TV2<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI think I was already struggling on the first climb. From there, I thought things might get better. They did. But when they attacked, it became too much for me. I had secretly hoped to be able to go with them. But unfortunately, that wasn\u2019t possible,\u201d Vingegaard said. He also added he was happy that he was able to compete for the national team again.<\/p>\n \u201cNo, I don\u2019t regret it. I\u2019m quite glad I got to ride in the Danish colours. I\u2019m really proud of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
