Encyclopedic overview
Jonas Vingegaard Hansen ( Danish: [ˈjoːnæs ˈʋe̝ŋəˌkɒːˀ 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 a 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.
