Copenhagen: Denmark´s two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard revealed Monday that he suffered from a lengthy concussion after crashing during the Paris-Nice on March 13, leaving him feeling tired and nauseous for days afterwards.

Vingegaard will target a third Tour de France win this summer after his 2022 and 2023 wins on a route which favours his climbing skills.

But the concussion has scuppered his original build-up programme and he was replaced by teammate Simon Yates as Visma team leader for the Tour of Catalunya, which started Monday.
