Klaus Vinggaard, Jonas's father, gave an interview to the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet, in which he expressed his concern and concern about his son's situation. “It's really hell for us,” says Klaus.

“A week after his fall, my wife and I still haven't heard from Jonas. We haven't had the chance yet. Not only with Jonas, but also with his wife and with Visma-Lease a Bike. I don't know how this is possible, but it must be This way, right?”

Information only through the press

The lack of communication about Jonas' health condition was a source of great stress for the family. Klaus revealed that they only knew about Jonas' situation through the media.

“We only really know what we read in the media. It doesn't mean we don't want to visit you in Spain, but at the moment I don't think we should do that. At the moment, we only receive small updates,” explains the worried father.

Medical procedures and hospitalization

Jonas Vingegaard underwent surgery to correct his collapsed lung on Monday, four days after the accident, Spanish newspaper Marca reported. Furthermore, Visma-Lease a Bike reported that the cyclist also underwent collarbone surgery.

The two-time Tour de France champion was still under intensive care in the intensive care unit of the Txagorritxu Hospital in Vitoria-Gasteiz in the Basque Country until recently. His wife Trine Hansen, who immediately traveled to the Basque Country after the accident, stayed by his side. There is no clear information about whether Jonas was transferred to the regular hospital ward.
