Kruijswijk seems to have suffered the opposite of a fractured collar-bone on numerous occasions.

What is known is that Trine was in fact rather hesistant about the whole thing in the beginning.
As for the EB story; feels like their usual sensationalist selves. Making a headline like that, then putting the article behind a pay-wall in order to trick people into signing up.
Unless he is really in coma, Jonas could just pick up the phone and write a text. So it seems the connection is not the best and then it really is family drama and something they have to figure out, not public.
Looks like his family is upset and is taking it public. Otherwise we wouldn’t know about it
Exactly. We don't have to receive details. But both his wife and the team could communicate (better). I'm still waiting at a reaction of the father that he did not declare that he and the family didn't have contact with Vingegaard (not being in coma). Until I see that response, I believe it is the truth that there is no contact after even a week
I just went and looked her up. She’s a lot older than he is that dirty devil. We call her a cougar in our part of the world
The thing is, we don't know anything. All we got is the headline of an EB article...
Isn't that term usually referring to women who go after much younger guys?
Lots of guesswork here, probably delicious gossip material while we're waiting for Godot.
However, I'm not surprised.
On beforehand we already knew Jonas' being as a person and, hence, his need for privacy in order for him to function optimally mentally and physically (supported by his wife or not)
If anybody left in doubt, his situation right now requires even more peace and foreclosure.
Could also include parts of family, but I don't want to join the guessing game here.
Just simply deal with the facts - which may come at a pace that suits Jonas.
No one else is entitled to that.
Period.

I did forget about this Scandinavian specific I admit, but still - it appears that at least Claus also finds it is unacceptable...
Evidently it's the collapsed lung, otherwise Visma is building up a story for the ages, when, against all odds, Vingegaard returns to win a third Tour.
The lung shouldn’t be a problem if he already had a collarbone surgery
I think I read he was in ICU last week (not sure about that), so I wondered if he's still in ICU?
Surely we can assume he's still in hospital (ICU or other). Teams usually do report when riders go home to begin their rehabilitation. It's 'good news', especially for fans but also sponsors (be it the team's sponsors or race sponsors, i.e. everyone wants the big stars of the sport to be fit).
Agree but you not in a hospital 4 days after a simple collarbone surgery. And you don’t do a surgery if his lung is bad.
All I’m saying in something isn’t right.. and that story with his family not knowing what’s going on just makes it even more weird.
I don't want to alarm anyone here & I'm not about to gossip monger about this sort of stuff, I'll simply express what I think, i.e. I don't think the personal wishes of the Vingegaard clan (be it Jonas & his wife, or his parents) have anything to do with anything. I don't think the 'silence' is because he's a private person.
Here's what I think: I think the accident was terrible because we saw him a road sign at high speed & he suffered a very hard blow, particularly to his chest area. If he's still in hospital 8 days later, then that says it all IMO. The collarbone operation is a sideshow. The real problem is evidently elsewhere & we can assume they'll communicate once they have good news.
That's how it usually works anyway.
If it's worse than what Visma is letting on, i'm sure there is a reason. I can only hope his family isn't kept in the dark.

It's a weird story, but it's also a tabloid, and we've read some awkward stuff about those parents before. I wouldn't read too much into that.
I think the chances of Vingegaard making the Tour are slim to zero, but not because of this clickbait article. If he's still in the hospital at this point, unable to breathe properly, of course he's not going to be fit for the Tour.
According to spanish 'Diario AS', Vingegaard is still at the hospital. He had a surgery last monday and then was transferred to the UCI, to do a better follow up of his pneumothorax. Because of that, he wasn't able to be moved out of the hospital and they are evaluting the possibility of a transfer to Denmark by medical flight

Vingegaard: opción de traslado en avión medicalizado
Según pudo saber AS, el danés sigue en el Hospital de Txagorritxu (Vitoria) y existe la opción de marcharse de España. Pesimismo de cara al Tour.
Transferred to the UCI? Are they trying to kill him?According to spanish 'Diario AS', Vingegaard is still at the hospital.

He wouldn't be the first guy they've given special treatment.
Can we have the old thread title back?
Or
Vingo is the next Froome
Or
Vingo is an apple living in a world full of oranges and if he doesn't do his turns of love, he'll go bananas
