The Danish Jonas Vingegaard, double winner of the Tour de France, will focus his main objective of the season on the Tour de France, but will include the Vuelta a España in his calendar as a second challenge.
Vingegaard (Hillerslev, 28 years old) will return to the Tour de France to challenge the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar, triple winner, for the throne, a pending account that will be the great incentive of the 2025 season.
