87 days after last pinning on a race number, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) returns to action at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Critérium du Dauphiné, ahead of his key season target, the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France.

Despite not turning his pedals in anger for almost three months, the Danౠe arrives at the pre-Tour warm-up race in a relaxed m﷽ood, without strict expectations on his performance.

"It's a long time since I was at my last race, about three months, so of course I'm happy to be back. It will be nice to see where I'm standing this week," he told reporters, including Cyclingnews, at the start of stage 1 in Domérat.

However, while the two-time Tour winner is happy to be back testing himself against 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:a stacked GC field, including Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Remco Evenepoel (QuickStep-Soudal), he's leaving room for improvement even after the race's mountainous final stages later next week. 

"I still think that being in top shape at this moment would probably be a bit too early. Hopefully, I can even afterwards [ahead of the Tour de France] put another half or꧒✅ more on my level."

Vingegaard spoke last week about 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:"feeling ꦰlike a completely different pඣerson" in comparison to this time last year, when a nasty crash at the Itzulia Basque Country left him with a race against time to be ready for the Tour, where he ultimately came up short against Pogačar.

His Slovenian rival was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:open💮ly positive about his training data during a press conference yesterday, perhaps thro💫wing down the gauntlet ahead of the final three stages of the Dauphiné and beyond. 

Vingegaard appeared to offer a broader take on the topic when he added: "One thing is how it's going in training, and another thing is how it is in racing. Of course, it's a good way of seeing where you stand. I can see that I'm doing pretty well in t🦹raining."

The pair may have differ𒆙ing opinions about what shows good form, but one thing that can't be ignored is the fewer raced💝ays on the Visma-Lease a Bike rider's legs. 

Will 🍰it leave the Dane playing catch-up? He doesn't think so. 

"I think that's more talking than anything. I mean, I still remember in 2020 with the COVID [-impacted] year, nobody was racing for half a year, and when 🌱everybody was racing again, the level was completely different, a lot higher," he added.

"I wouldn't say that no racing is a 🐟bad thing, of course, I would have liked to race more, but it's not necessarily a bad thing."
