Jonas Vingegaard Withdraws from Tour de France After Stage 15 Crash

Jonas Vingegaard entered the 2026 Tour de France as one of the pre‑race favorites, having won the event twice before. During the demanding descent of stage 15 in the Alps, he lost control, fell heavily and suffered a serious injury to his right arm.

Medical staff escorted him to a team car, fitted an arm sling and later a cast, and on the advice of doctors he decided to withdraw from the race. His exit reshapes the competition and raises questions about his recovery schedule for the upcoming season.
