TOUR DE FRANCE. Aged 25, Dane Jonas Vingegaard won his very first Tour de France at the end of the 21st and final stage this Sunday, July 24.
He was overwhelmed with emotion during the presentation of the Tour de France 2022 at his home in Denmark. Three weeks later, Dane Jonas Vingegaard won the greatest victory of his career by winning the 109th edition of the Tour de France. In the shadow of Tadej Pogacar during the first week, the Jumbo rider took advantage of the Slovenian’s failure before asserting his superiority in the last two. “Nothing can happen anymore, I really won the Tour. It’s just amazing. No one can take that away from me. I always felt like I could fight for the win. And when it became clearer, I also always said to myself that something could happen that prevents me from getting there. This time, it’s done” launched Jonas Vingegaard after the 21st stage won in the sprint by Jasper Philipsen.
For his part, Tadej Pogacar has already made an appointment with the Dane next year. Double winner of the Tour, the UAE Emirates rider wants to recover his property quickly. “It’s been a very exciting Tour de France for me. It’s still incredible to be here, even if I’m not at the top of the podium. If I hadn’t already won before, it would be the best day of my life. It doesn’t make a big difference, it just means I’ll be even more motivated next year. But I’m enjoying the spirit of the sport, as I always have, and I think we have a great year ahead of us for duels with Jonas (Vingegaard)”.
After 21 stages and many battles for breakaways, stage victories and the general classification, here is the final general classification of this Tour de France 2022 with the great victory of Jonas Vingegaard in front Tadej Pogacar and Geraint Thomas. Fourth, David Gaudu is the best Frenchman of this Tour and signs the best result of his career.
