Jonas Vingegaard Hansen (Danish: [ˈjoːnæs ˈʋe̝ŋəˌkɒːˀ ˈhænˀsn̩]; né Rasmussen;[9] born 10 December 1996) is a Danish professional road racing cyclist who rides for UCI WorldTeam Visma–Lease a Bike.[10] Described as one of the best climbers of his generation,[11][12][13] his rivalry with Tadej Pogačar is considered one of the greatest of all time.[14][15] He is best known for winning the 2022 and 2023 editions of the Tour de France.

Vingegaard, whose youth career initially saw little success, made his Grand Tour debut at the 2020 Vuelta a España. Then, in 2021, he participated in his first Tour de France and secured a second-place finish overall. In 2022, he returned to the Tour as one of the pre-race favorites, winning the overall classification alongside two stage victories and the polka dot jersey. This made him the second Danish cyclist ever to win the Tour de France; this achievement, coinciding with increased public interest following the 2022 Tour's Grand Départ in Copenhagen, made Vingegaard a national hero in Denmark.[16][17][18]

In 2023, Vingegaard achieved his second successive Tour de France victory, before finishing second overall to his teammate Sepp Kuss at the Vuelta a España. For his achievements, Vingegaard was awarded the 2023 Vélo d'Or for the best cyclist of the season. In 2024, he missed several months of racing following a crash which punctured his lung. Despite this, Vingegaard returned for the 2024 Tour de France, winning a stage and finishing second overall behind Tadej Pogačar.
