IMO, it’s not worth it. Probably better for him to recover for the more important goals ahead. Or let’s see. Maybe Jonas himself wants to continue.
Why not worth it? If it doesn't hinder him and "just" hurt a bit, it's still a top placing in an important stage race at stake.
Most riders would probably try it out, and even though Vingegaard is somewhat mentally tough, he is still also mentally soft, and I'm afraid he's not lining up today. It doesn't "depend on the medical staff" at all, I don't buy that at all. It's about Jonas' head, it's always been that way. And his head wasn't right yesterday (of course likely partly due to a small concussion)

Again, I just said he was fine after Visma released his "injury". He was good enough to continue yesterday and today he would be able to, but he didn't want. I respect his opinion but don't tell me his injury is hurting him so much he can't ride his bike. This was a cautious decision by Visma and I agree (even if it is bad for the race).
 
What a shame, I guess his steering/braking would still be impaired. Jorgenson will be much more exposed on the last stage.
When they say bruising i am assuming they are meaning that he has more internal bruising/ swelling which is really painful since there are so many joints in the hand. There is also a risk of there being a small fracture that appears when the swelling subsides.

You have no clue how his injuries evolved during the night.
