The designated Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard has largely rejected any doping speculation for himself and his team Jumbo-Visma.
“We are all absolutely clean. I can say that for each of us. I’ll tell you directly and without hesitation,” said the Dane on Saturday when asked about the dominance of the Dutch cycling team in the Tour of France.
Vingegaard, who is about to win his first tour, explained the success with the professional preparation. “We do training camps at high altitude, we eat well, we do everything as best we can. That’s why we won,” said the 25-year-old.
With Vingegaard (yellow and dots) and the Belgian Wout van Aert (green), the three most important jerseys go to the dominating racing team this year. In the previous 20 stages, the winner came six times from Jumbo-Visma.
