SERIES (3/3). A woman at the heart of his success, a family life placed above all else, a nervousness that he has learned to tame...

Our series on Jonas Vingegaard, the new boss of the Tour de France

We imagined a hat-trick from Pogacar, or the revenge of Primoz Roglic.

But few suspected that it would be him, the new king of France.

At 25, the Dane of the Jumbo-Visma, Jonas Vingegaard, will win his first Tour de France this Sunday.

Without really knowing him.

Here are three stories to better understand the new yellow jersey.

  • Caravan, grills and climbs... summers in the Alps of little Jonas

  • How he almost escaped his fate and the radars of the Jumbo

  • Papa poule, fake quiet but real discreet... the story of an anti-star

  • There is an air of a modern-day bandit in this young leader with carnivorous features.

    A torrid and fresh wind, that of a new western, blew over the Tour de France and, the impenetrable man who will land this Sunday on his rocking chair at the top of the Champs-Élysées, the still burning Remington , is not there for nothing.
