Vingegaard will race Paris-Nice

After cancelling his plan to go to the UAE Tour following a training crash and a subsequent illness, Jonas Vingegaard is adding a race to his early-season calendar: Paris-Nice. The Visma-Lease a Bike star will thus make his 2026 season debut when the eight-day stage race rolls out from Achères on March 8. "After crashing and falling ill, I took the necessary time to recover," Vingegaard said. "Now I feel ready to start racing again and am looking forward to it after a long winter of training."
