Calm down. Vingegaard's injuries are not severe, in 2/3 days he is training again and probably will be able to participate in Catalunya without any limitation. On the other hand, Remco seems very affected by his crash, not only physically but also psychologically. I saw a picture of him a couple days ago and he looks very heavy. There are also his interviews where we can see how depressive he looks.

Of course as this are still human beings and not machines. As for your optimistic prognosis, on how Jonas will be at 100% at Catalunya. IMHO and based on what i seen that is not all that possible.

Why is that? He can train indoors until his hand feels better. Nothing is broken and his legs and lungs, heart and head are all fine.

I think CyclistAbi means 100% as-in at his TDF level. While Peyrote means 100% as-in not injured.

Concussions are not always detectable immidiately or even for days/weeks. Let's hope for the best!

If we assume that it is only the hand injury that keeps him from racing, and that he misses Volta Cat as a result, do people think we will see him before Dauphine?
I think most riders/teams would race in Romandie or something like that, but that's not the typical approach of Visma-LAB. Would suck not to see him race for 3 months

With his latest comments on safety in mind and this crash on top of it, I think Vingegaard is also quite hit psychologically at the moment. He might be able to get over that before the Tour, but possibly not in time for Catalunya.
I would suspect that he is, if not showing concussion symptoms, maybe suffering from a lot of pain in his head. In addition to his hand, there's no point in risking your megastar at this point in the season.
I'm sort of surprised, although I shouldn't have been, to hear that he continued riding yesterday feeling a bit dizzy. When will these teams and riders learn that undergoing a concussion protocol mid race is not the end of the world? Worst case, he's cleared and can continue to ride, maybe loses GC but hey, PN is not his main objective.
Best case, he stops immediately and avoids more-serious consequences.
The other issue of him not looking good on Wednesday when Almeida motored past him is completely separate, I think.

The doctor's car stopped next to Vingegaard when he was off his bike, so I think he was checked out.

Why? He wants to do TDF - Vuelta double. It's why he currently isn't in great form.

At this point I'd probably skip Catalunya and ride in Euskadi instead. If you need a bit more racing after not finishing Paris-Nice you can always add Romandie or something like Asturias (are they riding that one?) afterwards.

He should do the coppi e bartali stage race instead of catalunya, get another win under his belt against some teenagers. 5 days low stress race .

"Jonas you feel in the mud? We found a farming simulator 2.1 race in northern spain for you?"

Realistically if there's no concussion and the hand is only a contusion it's plausible enough he could race Catalunya.

I beg to differ: Cippi and Bartali are not teenagers anymore.

Yes itzulia 2022 he dropped an uphill crashing masterclass, as well as vlasov he also crashed izaguirre on a climb. Only g thomas could rival such a performance in my opinion
