Hansen Speaks Out on Vingegaard’s Grueling Training Schedule,Sparking Debate.
trine Hansen, wife of two-time Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard, has publicly voiced concerns regarding her husband’s demanding training regimen and travel schedule.Hansen recently shared with a Danish newspaper that Vingegaard’s constant travel for training camps, which she described as “squeezing the lemon too much,” is detrimental to his recovery. She stated,”It starts in February and it’s back and forth every other week… It’s a really tough life. Jonas doesn’t recharge when he’s on another three-week altitude training camp with the team. He really needs to be with us at home in Denmark to do that.”
Hansen’s candid remarks have reportedly ignited a notable discussion within the professional cycling community. Vingegaard’s team, Visma-Lease a Bike, has maintained that the athlete’s schedule is not problematic.however, the intensity required to achieve multiple Tour de France victories, including the extensive travel and physical demands, raises questions about the sustainability of such a lifestyle. Hansen’s willingness to speak out on the matter,despite potential unpopularity,highlights the personal toll of elite athletic careers on athletes and their families.
