"I tried to force things, and there was a huge bill to pay afterwards. My best advice is to take the time it takes to build up the body and the mind again, because it takes some time. It will come, but it takes some time," the Dane adds, pointing out that his crash is very similar to his compatriot's. Jonas Vingegaard's urge not to rush the process has also made an impression on Mikkel Honoré, who rides for EF Education-EasyPost. "He is 100 percent right about that. But when you are in the middle of it, that is what is difficult. You have the biggest pressure from yourself in terms of coming back as quickly as possible, and there is also a bit of pressure from the outside. But when I am in it, I can really see how as a rider you can easily end up forcing things." "It makes an impression. It really does. Especially hearing it from Jonas," Honoré adds. It has also crossed the Danish EF rider's mind that he could somehow learn from Jonas Vingegaard's crash in the Tour of the Basque Country. Mikkel Honoré even thought of Jonas Vingegaard after he crashed in the one-day race Eistse Pijl and was admitted to the intensive care unit. "I lay in the hospital in Belgium and thought of Jonas and everything he went through in the Basque Country, as our injuries were very similar." "With everything he went through, I thought: 'Holy shit, it was crazy that he fought his way back to the Tour so hard.'" Honoré points out, however, that he knows it has had a price for Jonas Vingegaard. "It will definitely help me respect my body and the time horizon to come back, as Jonas points out. It is good to hear it from someone like him."

Jonas: "The way it went on the Tourmalet stage, it wasn't exactly what I had hoped for. But it is what it is, and we believe that I can get better and better throughout this race as well. So I am actually confident for the rest of the race too." There might be many sitting at home thinking: 'Is the Tour de France decided now?' What is your answer? Jonas: "It may well be that there are many who think so, but I don't think so. I have been behind in the Tour de France before, and then won it anyway. And yes, I still believe it can be done, and I at least intend to fight all the way to Paris for it." You are going fiercely for it, with whatever risks that entails? Jonas: "Yes, I mean, I am not here for a second place, and I am not here for a third place either. Whether I finish number two or four, that is basically irrelevant. So, I am here to try to win, and that is what I am going to try to do."

The motivation was gone, and he let the management at Visma | Lease a Bike know. He shares this in the TV 2 program AftenTour. "I said last year that if this is how it has to be, then I can't be in it anymore. That is also why we have changed some things. I also think the team realized that this was how it was, and they could also feel from me that I wasn't happy in it last year. They accepted that we had to change something, and so we did," says Vingegaard. He readily admits that life as a professional cyclist is hard. Very hard, even. Besides the many race days, a season typically also includes several long training camps. This is one of the things Jonas Vingegaard has wanted to change. "As a cyclist, you feel like you are constantly on a diet. You always have to think about your weight, and you are always out training. A lot is demanded of you. It takes a toll on the body and the mind." "We have taken a step in the right direction, but it is clear that it is only a step," says Vingegaard.
