Visma-Lease a Bike\u2019s Jonas Vingegaard won a brutal Stage 4 of Paris-Nice in style, you might say. (Or maybe not.)<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe I\u2019m a trendsetter with these long pants,\u201d Vingegaard joked to TNT<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cThere just wasn\u2019t time to take them off.\u201d<\/p>\n Double layers FTW<\/p>\n Before the race, the Dane had a pair of bib tights ready\u2013he cut out the additional chamois so as not to screw up his saddle height. The plan was eventually that a teammate would come along and help him take them off and give back to the team car. But, alas\u2026the best laid plans and all that.<\/p>\n \u201cIt went so fast,\u201d he said to Sporza<\/a>. \u201cYou didn\u2019t even have time to take off your clothes. I think a lot of guys were very cold. I personally wasn\u2019t, because I was wearing a lot of clothes.\u201d<\/p>\n Le flow de Jonas Vingegaard je suis mort pic.twitter.com\/nF5ozefRmt<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Cycling Legend (@CyclingLegend_) March 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n The 195-km stage was a helluva race. Average speeds exceeded 45 km\/h despite multiple climbs, and crashes peppered the descents, including a bad one with race leader Juan Ayuso of Lidl-Trek<\/a>. The Spaniard was forced to quit. Ultimately. Vingegaard got away in a move with four Red Bull \u2013 BORA \u2013 hansgrohe riders. Ultimately, that was only two.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe you can call me a trendsetter\u201d \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n Jonas Vingegaard says a frantic day at Paris\u2013Nice was the cause of his unusual fashion choice of bib tights over his jersey \ud83d\ude02 pic.twitter.com\/pk7NbE2mUe<\/a><\/p>\n
