Jonas Vingegaard will miss his season debut at the UAE Tour through illness and injury. Vingegaard suffered the injury following a training crash involving an incident with an amateur rider. The Dane now has just one race scheduled before his Giro d'Italia debut as he attempts the Giro-Tour de France double.

And a new physical coach on top of that? A weird start to the season. Hopefully there isn't more to it than a row of coincidences.

Measures in terms of training in a team, with a team car or when training solo to at least have some escort, for example a staff member on a electric scoter.
