Jonas Vingegaard, exhausted after the Tour de France, will not participate in the Vuelta a Espana this year due to his need for rest following serious injuries earlier in the season. Despite his desire to win again, he acknowledges the necessity of prioritizing recovery. Vingegaard faced significant challenges after a crash in the Tour of the Basque Country, where he sustained severe injuries, including broken bones and punctured lungs. His absence opens opportunities for teammates like Sepp Kuss to compete in upcoming events like the Vuelta. Vingegaard's decision also affects his participation in the Olympic Games, with other cyclists chosen to represent Denmark.
