Jonas Vingegaard, the two-time Tour de France champion, will not participate in stage 6 of Paris-Nice following a crash that caused a hand injury. The team, Visma-Lease a Bike, prioritized his recovery after initial assessment revealed a contusion. Vingegaard was previously leading the race but had to relinquish his position to teammate Matteo Jorgenson after the incident. Although he attempted to compete following the crash, medical staff concluded that he needed to rest and recover for future competitions, highlighting the team's commitment to his health and upcoming goals.
"Unfortunately, Jonas Vingegaard will not start in today's stage of Paris-Nice. Our medical staff has decided that it is best for him to recover from yesterday's crash at home and focus on his next goals for the season."
"It's not nice that Jonas crashed. When he returned to the peloton he told me to race for myself today. That's what I did then. As a team we tried to make the best of it."
