12 September 2023 at 10:06 Vingegaard reveals: Utopian cycling triple lurks in the back of his mind The Tour de France looms highest, but cycling star Jonas Vingegaards also has another wet dream: To ride for overall victory in several Grand Tours in the same season. Danish Vingegaard has won the Tour de France two years in a row and would like to add more victories in the world’s biggest cycling race. At the same time, he has several thoughts and dreams in his head. Winning several Grand Tour races in one year, as well as chasing gold in the WC and Olympics, he does not see as unthinkable. – In one way or another, I guess I also have a dream that you could race for a good overall position in all three (Grand Tours) in one and the same year, says Vingegaard to Danish TV 2 Sport. At the same time, he acknowledges that the project may be a bit utopian. – At the same time, it seems difficult, because with the Tour de France you have to be 100 per cent to race for overall victory, and if you have ridden the Giro and are not 100 per cent in the Tour, it can be difficult, says Vingegaard. The big challenge in relation to trying all three is the order of them. – The Tour de France is the big tour that demands the most. It requires the most mentally and physically. If it had been the other way around, that the Tour was first and the other two afterwards, you might as well have given it a chance, says Vingegaard. – It’s a bit of a shame. But I might try it once, he adds. (NTB)
