Biography
Jonas Vingegaard Hansen (Danish: [ˈjoːnæs ˈʋe̝ŋəˌkɒːˀ ˈhænˀsn̩]; né Rasmussen; born 10 December 1996) is a Danish professional road racing cyclist who rides for UCI WorldTeam Visma–Lease a Bike. Described as one of the best climbers of his generation, his rivalry with Tadej Pogačar is considered one of the greatest of all time. He is best known for winning the 2022 and 2023 editions of the Tour de France.
Vingegaard, whose youth career initially saw little success, made his Grand Tour debut at the 2020 Vuelta a España. Then, in 2021, he participated in his first Tour de France and secured a second-place finish overall.
In early 2022, he was appointed Team Jumbo–Visma's co-team captain alongside Primož Roglič ahead of the 2022 Tour de France. During the race itself, he not only clinched the overall classification but also claimed the polka dot jersey. This made him the second Danish cyclist ever to win the Tour de France. He also set a record for the highest average speed throughout the entire race. In 2023, Vingegaard achieved his second successive Tour de France general classification.
