Jonas Vingegaard showcased his resilience in the Critérium du Dauphiné, finishing strong despite not winning the time trial. He lost only 20 seconds to world champion Remco Evenepoel while gaining 28 seconds on rival Tadej Pogačar. This performance builds his confidence significantly after returning from a concussion. Catching fellow competitor Anders Foldager also added to his morale. Vingegaard acknowledged that finishing ahead of Pogačar was crucial, setting up a promising outlook for the upcoming Tour de France, also known as a dress rehearsal for the multi-stage race.
In what was the first key GC test of his first race back since his abandon in Paris-Nice with concussion, nearly three months ago, Vingegaard was more than up to the challenge.
Catching his minute man, fellow Dane Anders Foldager (Jayco AlUla), on the one short but viciously steep ascent of the race, was obviously a morale boost for Vingegaard.
