“Hats off to this fighter, Jonas Vingegaard! Sometimes the figures and the victories do not say everything. Sometimes, it is the journey that counts, the moments when nobody looks at, the days spent far from home, far from all that is familiar to us, alone with his bike and his will. Today, September 14, 2025, this is one of these days. Jonas Vingegaard wins the Vuelta in España, his third big round after two victories on the Tour de France, proving once again that he is a champion in everything he undertakes.
It has been 529 days since Jonas underwent a heavy fall in the Basque Country. Recovery, training, effort and recovery days. Twice, he fought like a lion on the Tour de France, giving everything he had, falling and getting up each time. But today, we see the real result of this silent and relentless struggle: a return rider on the highest step of the podium, more determined than ever.

This Vuelta is more than a victory. It is the story of resilience, of a desire to never give up, of an ability to continue to believe in yourself even in difficult times. For three weeks, he demonstrated what a leader means to be, for himself and for his team. A memorable Vuelta in many ways, but that no one can never take away from Jonas.
Winning is never easy. Each victory deserves. And this one, Jonas, is magnificent. Thanks to your talent, your team, but especially thanks to you: your perseverance, your concentration and your heart.
Today, we celebrate more than a jersey or a podium. We celebrate a champion who has shown what it means fighting, growing and triumphing, even on difficult paths. Congratulations, Jonas. You are the more than deserved winner of the Vuelta of Spain 2025. “
