El ganador de las últimas dos realizaciones del Tour de France, Jonas Vingegaard, abocado a la parte final de la rehabilitación de su fractura de clavícula izquierda y múltiples costillas, quedó marginado del equipo olímpico danés y no competirá en París 2024.
La federación del país escandinavo anunció el sábado una plantilla integrada por Mikkel Norsgard Bjerg, Mads Pedersen, Mattias Skjelmose y Mochael Morkov, los representantes en la capital francesa entre el 27 de julio y el 4 de agosto.
Vingegaard, de 27 años, había recibido el alta médica el 16 de abril luego de pasar 12 días hospitalizado tras una fatídica caída en la Vuelta al País Vasco y ya se encuentra preparándose con el propósito de estar en condiciones físicas de defender el bicampeonato en el Tour de France, a celebrarse entre el 29 de junio y el 21 de julio.
En noviembre del año pasado, el mejor atleta del 2022 en Dinamarca había expresado su voluntad de formar parte del contingente nacional en los Juegos Olímpicos por primera vez, aunque había anticipado que “no creo que la ruta me convenga especialmente” y que el seleccionador Anders Lund no le había garantizado su presencia conforme a las características del circuito en París.
