Let's have some precaution about those statements.

There wouldn't be the first time, something wasn't true or taked out of context.

About the altitude training camps....he only did 2 altitude training camps this year, exactly the same altitude training camps the rivals did. It's not that much time out of home.

That's not true. He had at least 3 (more his team training camp in December). Sierra Nevada in January and May, Tignes in June.

Grischa needs to explain his decisions to Vingo's wife and be very polite & careful at the same time. Otherwise, some day he will wake up finding out that his golden fish suddenly disappeared. He knows Vingo's career longevity depends a lot on his wife.

Apparently Mrs. Vingegaard Hansen wanted Jonas to do carpentry work in the kitchen and do (in her words) some of the "hard and tedious" things - which the team wasn't happy about because they reckoned he was doing too much at home.

I'm not joking either. It's in the interview. Better drama than the Netflix show.

Vinge skipped the first altitude camp, first one was in May.

Another change this year is his altitude camp. “We’ve done things a little differently. I haven’t been on an altitude camp yet—that will come in May,” he said. “It has nothing to do with the birth of our second child. That does have an impact on you, but I simply wanted to change things up for the first half of the season.”

Not building up too much upper body muscle is important, it‘s why Roglič doesn‘t raise his arms when he wins.

This video was filmed in December in Costa del Sol. It is not from Sierra Nevada and was uploaded on January 2nd, too early to be from a January training camp.

At 4 minutes in the video they pass the fdj women's team and you can see vollering still wearing SD worx kit because it's 2024. The December 2024 fdj women's team camp was in Costa del Sol, there is numerous evidences for this.

Jonas didn't go to altitude before May this year

The riders who were at altitude in end of January/February from Visma this year were at Teide. Jorgensen, campanaerts, zingel, tulett, Yates, VALTER and some others. Visma didnt do any training camps at Sierra Nevada until May

Carpenters never show up on time anymore, not even if you've married to them. I can understand why she's grumpy.

When JV shows up next year looking like this, you'll know Mrs. Vinge won the argument with the team and got him to put in those hard carpentry miles.

Jonas Vingegaard's wife sensationally slams Visma: "The team is pushing him too far... The countdown to the end of his career began when we had our first child"

I am not sure what the goal is of giving such an interview at the start of the Tour, which is Jonas’ most important goal of the season. Seems somehow narcissistic even (and I am quite aware that this is a very outside view that I have, without even having read the original interview. But the headlines and attention it gets is already not optimal).

Isn't his wife his manager as well?

It could be just another stereotypical Jerry Maguire "show me the money" sort of pressure applied to the team by insinuating her client isn't happy.

It's during the TdF when offers come rolling in from other teams as well, creating leverage for negotiations.

Just some food for thought.
