Jonas Vingegaard, the two-time Tour de France winner, revealed he suffered a concussion due to a crash during stage 4 of Paris-Nice, forcing him to withdraw. The crash led to accompanying symptoms like dizziness, nausea, and fatigue, impacting his training schedule. He expressed disappointment over missing the Volta a Catalunya, feeling confident in maintaining his lead had he not fallen. Vingegaard's next race is now the Critérium du Dauphiné, as he recovers from his injuries and begins to plan for the Tour de France.
I'm happy to be back on the bike, even though it took a little longer than hoped due to my concussion, which required a lot of rest.
The fact that it also means that I have to miss Catalunya is even more disappointing, as I had been looking forward to the race.
I'm incredibly disappointed to be out because I actually felt like I could have kept the leader's jersey all the way to Nice.
With no Catalunya on the schedule, Vingegaard's next planned race is now nearly three months away, at the Critérium du Dauphiné.
