Jonas Vingegaard's career began at the Thy Cykle Ring club in 2007 and has taken him to victory in all three Grand Tours. He turned professional at WorldTour level with Jumbo-Visma in 2019, won the Tour de France in 2022 and 2023, the Vuelta a España in 2025 and the Giro d'Italia in 2026. Here are his teams and seasons year by year from 2016 to today – the big wins, the crashes and the turning points.
The clubs and teams of Jonas Vingegaard's career
His interest in cycling began on 1 August 2007, when he and his father watched the start of the Post Danmark Rundt in Thisted. The same year he joined Thy Cykle Ring, where he raced until 2012. A year at Aalborg Cykle-Ring followed, then two and a half years at Odder CK, where Christian Moberg became his coach in 2015. On 23 May 2016 he moved to the Danish Continental team ColoQuick, and since 2019 he has ridden for the Dutch WorldTour team now called Visma | Lease a Bike. His contract runs until the end of 2028.
| Period | Team | Level |
|---|---|---|
| 2007–2012 | Thy Cykle Ring | Club |
| 2013 | Aalborg Cykle-Ring | Club |
| 2014–22.05.2016 | Odder CK (Odder Cykel Klub) | Club |
| 23.05.2016–2018 | ColoQuick CULT / Team ColoQuick | UCI Continental team |
| 2019–2028 (contract) | Team Jumbo-Visma → Jumbo-Visma → Team Visma | Lease a Bike | UCI WorldTeam |
The ColoQuick years, 2016–2018
At ColoQuick he achieved his first major international result: in 2016, aged 19, he finished second overall at the Tour of China I. Team manager Christian "Gummi" Andersen also found him a job at the Chrisfish fish factory in Hanstholm, where he skinned fish from 6am to noon and trained in the afternoon. The job was meant to give his days structure.
In 2017 he finished fourth overall and best young rider at the Tour du Loir-et-Cher in France, but on 27 May he broke his femur in a crash at the Tour des Fjords in Norway, and most of the season was lost. ProCyclingStats records only 13 race days for him that year.
2018 was the year the big teams noticed him. In March he set the record on the Coll de Rates test climb in Spain – 13:02 for 6.5 km – and in the summer a test at Team Danmark produced striking results. He won the prologue of the Giro della Valle d'Aosta and the team time trial at the Tour de l'Avenir with the Danish national team. On 1 August 2018 his move to Jumbo-Visma was announced.
Jumbo-Visma 2019–2020: the domestique from Thy
In his first WorldTour season he won stage 6 of the Tour de Pologne on 8 August 2019 – his first win at the highest level. He also finished second at the Tour of Denmark, 11 seconds behind Niklas Larsen, and won a stage and the overall classification at Hammer Stavanger.
The 2020 season was shaped by the coronavirus pandemic and a rearranged calendar. Jonas Vingegaard in 2020 was above all a helper: he finished eighth at the Tour de Pologne, rode Flèche Wallonne and Liège–Bastogne–Liège in the autumn and made his Grand Tour debut at the Vuelta a España, where he helped Primož Roglič to overall victory and finished 46th himself. That September his daughter Frida was born.
The 2021 breakthrough
In 2021 he started winning. He took stage 5 of the UAE Tour, won two stages and the overall at the Coppi e Bartali and finished second at the Itzulia Basque Country behind team-mate Roglič. In the spring he also rode Liège–Bastogne–Liège, finishing 28th.
At his first Tour de France he was supposed to support Roglič. But Roglič crashed on stage 3 and withdrew after stage 8, leaving Vingegaard as the team's only leader. On stage 11 over Mont Ventoux he became the first rider to drop Tadej Pogačar on a climb, and in Paris he finished second overall, 5:20 behind Pogačar. That year he was named Denmark's male cyclist of the year.
The breakthrough changed his role in the team. From 2022 he was one of its leaders at the Tour, and his contract extension had already been signed in July 2021. Read about his earnings on the Jonas Vingegaard salary page.
Tour de France winner in 2022 and 2023
In 2022 he finished second at Tirreno–Adriatico and the Critérium du Dauphiné, where he won the queen stage. At the Tour de France he struck on the Col du Granon on stage 11, took the yellow jersey and also won stage 18 to Hautacam. He won the Tour by 2:43 over Pogačar and took the polka-dot jersey too, becoming the second Danish Tour winner after Bjarne Riis in 1996.
2023 was his most successful season. He won O Gran Camiño, the Itzulia Basque Country and the Critérium du Dauphiné, and at the Tour de France he wore bib number 1 for Jumbo-Visma as defending champion. The decisive moment was the stage 16 time trial to Combloux, which he won by 1:38 over Pogačar. He won the Tour by 7:29. At the Vuelta a España he won two stages and finished second, 17 seconds behind team-mate Sepp Kuss, with Roglič third. The season earned him the Vélo d'Or. All the details are on the Jonas Vingegaard at the Tour de France page.
Crash and comeback in 2024 and 2025
2024 started strongly with wins at O Gran Camiño and Tirreno–Adriatico. On 4 April he crashed at the Itzulia Basque Country, breaking his collarbone and several ribs and suffering a collapsed lung. He did not race again until the Tour de France, where he won stage 11 and finished second behind Pogačar. In August he won the Tour de Pologne.
In 2025 he won the Volta ao Algarve, but a concussion from a crash at Paris–Nice cost him the spring. He finished second at both the Critérium du Dauphiné and the Tour de France, before winning stages 2, 9 and 20 and the overall title at the Vuelta a España, 1:16 ahead of João Almeida. Read about that win on the Jonas Vingegaard at the Vuelta page.
2026: the Giro win and all three Grand Tours
After a training crash and illness he skipped the UAE Tour, then won Paris–Nice and the Volta a Catalunya. On his Giro d'Italia debut he won five stages, took the pink jersey on stage 14 and won by 5:22 over Felix Gall. That made him the eighth rider ever, and the first Dane, to win all three Grand Tours.
At the Tour de France the team won the opening team time trial, but on 19 July he crashed on stage 15 and broke his collarbone while lying second. On 17 August the team announced he would not race again in 2026. The team calls the 2027 Tour de France the main goal for next season, but the programme is not official (as of 25 October 2026).
