Jonas Vingegaard continues to capitalize on his Tour de France hopes as he heads to an altitude training camp in tignes, France, to continue his recovery from injuries sustained in the crash at Itzulia Basque Country on 4 May.

According to a report by Danish outlet BT, the Tour de France winner has made enough improvements to start regular training.

"He was away with his family in Mallorca and now he's starting to do altitude training in Tignes," his coach Tim Hemskerk told BT "It's a new step for him and now it's starting to look like normal training. He arrived at altitude yesterday and at first did not have much training. He just has to adapt to a high degree.

"My hope is that he will be able to train with the rest of the team when they come to Tignes after the [Criterium du] Dauphine for training camp before the tour and become a full member of the team," Heemskerk added, but Vingegaard will not be available for the tour. He said that it has not yet been determined whether it will fit enough for the French capital Le France. "The most important thing right now is today and tomorrow.

Vingegaard broke his collarbone and several ribs and suffered injuries to his lungs in a 4-4 crash at Stage 4 at Itzulia Basque Country. The crash also defeated Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quickstep), who fractured his collarbone, and Primošroglić (Bora-Hansgrohe), who suffered a knee injury - 2 of his main rivals in the Tour de France.

Evenepoel and Roglić made a relatively quick recovery, but Vingegaard spent 12 days in hospital before returning to Denmark for recovery, and his training still includes rehabilitation exercises.

"We are trying to increase fitness on our bikes, but through exercise we are trying to strengthen our shoulders and bring them closer to their optimal weight," Heemskerk said, adding that he was surprised by how much Vingegaard has improved since returning to the bike in early May.

"He prepared in the best possible way by climbing a little bit in Mallorca and practicing downhill. "I was in a good climate and I enjoyed training with my family," he says. In Tignes, it is more about the performance of normal training, massage, etc.

"I think it was good for him to be there with his family, they had some good times, it was good for him to take a break where the weather was good so he could charge his batteries and he got to be trained."

Vingegaard was originally scheduled to race the Critérium du Dauphiné, which starts on Sunday, but the team will be working to see if it is ready for the Tour de France, which starts in Florence, Italy, on the 29th and ends in Nice, not Paris, which is ready to host the Olympics." I decided to increase the time to train to the next level.
