Jonas Vingegaard

Profile Overview

Jonas Vingegaard Hansen (Danish: [ˈjoːnæs ˈve̝ŋəˌkɒːˀ ˈhænˀsn̩]; né Rasmussen; born 10 December 1996) is a Danish professional road racing cyclist. He rides for UCI WorldTeam Visma–Lease a Bike. Described as one of the best climbers of all time, he is equally celebrated for his rivalry with Tadej Pogačar that ranks among the sport's greatest. Vingegaard is one of only eight riders in history to have won all three Grand Tours, having won the 2022 and 2023 editions of the Tour de France, the 2025 Vuelta a España and the 2026 Giro d'Italia.
Vingegaard, whose youth career initially saw limited 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. In 2022, he returned to the Tour as one of the pre-race favourites, winning the overall classification alongside two stage victories and the polka dot jersey. This made him the second Danish cyclist ever to win the Tour de France; this achievement, coinciding with increased public interest following the 2022 Tour's Grand Départ in Copenhagen, made Vingegaard a national hero in Denmark.
In 2023, Vingegaard achieved his second successive Tour de France victory, before finishing second overall to his teammate Sepp Kuss at the Vuelta a España. For his achievements, Vingegaard was awarded the 2023 Vélo d'Or for the best cyclist of the season. In 2024, he missed several months of racing following a crash which punctured his lung. Despite this, Vingegaard returned for the Tour de France, winning a stage and finishing second overall behind Tadej Pogačar. In 2025, Vingegaard finished second in the Tour again, and first in the Vuelta a España, winning three stages.
