I don't think Visma will jeopardize his career. They know better than us what they are doing, especially when Visma is the best team. They know better the current situation of Vingegaard.

It has nothing to do with Pog
Probably he is already more advanced in the recovery than what they are telling, because like you said they were very optmistic and they normally downplay the chances of their riders when they come back from injury.
And keep an eye on Roglic in the mean time which has to be part of their planning. How would that look to send Jonas with rushed preparation to get beaten by one of the guys that could have helped him win or take the title for JV if he wasn't ready? Increasingly they are finding themselves in Patrick's shoes for GT strategy.
Not if he can't attend the altitude camp or the Dauphine. If he can't attend a small stage race containing some Tour territory 3 weeks prior to le Grand Depart, how is he ready to do the hardest race this year?
Please translate. Can't speak danish
Probably he will do altitude camp during June. It's not me, it’s Zeerman who says he can do it. He knows better the situation than all of us at the moment.

Jonas Vingegaard to miss Critérium du Dauphiné, team still has Tour de France hopes for defending champion
Dane to miss team's altitude camp this week as he recovers from crash injuries
According to Zeeman no altitude camp which starts now and no Dauphine but Tour still possible. No info about training, still only about recovery. Do they want him to ride the Tour with so much time without training? (1 month already and counting) or is he already on stationary bike?
Nope. Jonas', Remco's, Wout's personal physicians know best and don't talk. Teams are about sports and sponsor promotion.
Don't you think the physicians have informed the team management?
No. Why would a personal physician of a private contractor for a Pro team provide information unless required to do so or authorized by the Athlete? Most pro sports teams have their own medical appraisers (I call them that because they project time and availability of the livestock the team has under contract). Unless the team medical/training staff have the first and last look of a situation and are involved in specific training they only know what they're told. That's why lower tier riders have to fend for themselves or rely on medical information provided by a team/LLC/SportingGroup. That's also the information distance the teams prefer and profess when a rider is luminescently doped so they can feign ignorance.
The Rog case is quite different. The team itself missed a diagnosis probably because if Rog still goes as hard as he did probably it cant be that bad.
