Jonas Vingegaard is no stranger to attention, but during this year\u2019s Tour de France it wasn\u2019t his performance that led the news cycle. It was an interview his wife, Trine Hansen<\/a>, gave to Politiken<\/a>. In it, she suggested that her husband might not always receive the kind of support that helps him perform at his best. She even said that constant isolation at mountain training camps isn\u2019t always what he needs. Time at home with family, she said, can recharge him just as effectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really difficult life because there\u2019s so much travel back and forth. It starts in February and then it\u2019s back and forth every or every other week. The children and I are home for ten days, then we\u2019re away for ten days to be close to Jonas, then we\u2019re home for a week, then away for 14 days and so on. It goes on until the season ends,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Jonas Vingegaard is now a Hansen and I for one, very much approve<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Her remarks triggered an immediate media frenzy. Reporters flocked to Vingegaard for a reaction. This happened just as he was fighting to keep pace with Tadej Poga\u010dar. The extra scrutiny could have been disruptive for any rider.<\/p>\n

But speaking to Ekstra Bladet<\/a>, Vingegaard said he never let the controversy distract him. He acknowledged that the timing \u201cwasn\u2019t perfect. But explained that once he is racing, he\u2019s good at setting outside noise aside. As long as he felt the matter didn\u2019t affect team dynamics, he said, it simply wasn\u2019t a problem. He also confirmed that his wife has his best interest in mind, and she was simply being frank and her comments were taken out of context.<\/p>\n

Despite this, speculation grew. Some wondered whether the interview had been a strategic move. Either to nudge the team toward offering better conditions or to hint at openness to a future transfer. The theories persisted even though Vingegaard is contracted with Visma\u2013Lease a Bike through 2028, and even though recent years have seen high-profile riders like Remco Evenepoel<\/a>, Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d and Juan Ayuso leave contracts early.<\/p>\n

Vingegaard dismissed all talk of a team switch. He told Ekstra Bladet he cannot picture himself riding for another squad after so many years with Visma\u2013Lease a Bike. Social media suggested he may want to go to Norwegian squad Uno-X\u2013which is home to many fellow Danes. For now, he\u2019s looking ahead to upcoming training camps and a new season\u2014leaving the Tour\u2019s off-bike drama in the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jonas Vingegaard is no stranger to attention, but during this year\u2019s Tour de France it wasn\u2019t his performance…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":321511,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[445],"tags":[49,48,635,5900,82,142639,10761],"class_list":{"0":"post-321510","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-cycling","11":"tag-jonas-vingegaard","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-trine-hansen","14":"tag-visma-lease-a-bike"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321510"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321510\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=321510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=321510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
