Vingegaard’s Calm Demeanor Shapes Teammate Tulett’s Professional Growth
Ben Tulett has identified Jonas Vingegaard’s composed approach to professional cycling as a defining influence on his own development within Visma | Lease a Bike. Tulett, who has served as a teammate to the two-time Tour de France champion for several years, credits Vingegaard’s perspective and temperament rather than technical expertise as the most valuable lessons he has absorbed.
According to wielerflits.nl, Tulett emphasizes that Vingegaard does not treat every aspect of cycling with excessive seriousness and instead embraces circumstances as they unfold. This relaxed mindset has provided Tulett with a contrasting model to the team’s widely recognized reputation for meticulous attention to training protocols, nutrition, equipment, and technological innovation. Tulett suggests that external perceptions of Visma | Lease a Bike often emphasize the calculated and scientific elements of the organization, yet the internal culture operates with considerably more flexibility and human-centered values than outsiders typically recognize.
The British rider notes that this combination of rigorous analytical detail with a more relaxed team environment has suited his own progression. Tulett achieved notable results this season, finishing third in the Walloon Arrow, Eschborn-Frankfurt, and Clásica San Sebastián. He expresses satisfaction with his development trajectory but remains circumspect about his future positioning within the team hierarchy, preferring to allow external observers and team leadership to assess his progression rather than predicting his role moving forward into 2027.

Vingegaard Dismisses Early Return Rumors, Commits to Continued Racing
Visma-Lease a Bike has firmly rejected speculation that Jonas Vingegaard could resume competition before the end of 2026, according to reporting from Escape Collective. The team’s statement came in response to Italian media rumors suggesting the Danish rider’s recovery from his July Tour de France crash was progressing so well that he might compete at the European Championships or Il Lombardia in October. Visma distanced itself sharply from these claims, reaffirming its earlier announcement that Vingegaard would not race again this calendar year.
Vingegaard sustained a broken collarbone after crashing on stage 15 of the Tour de France and was forced to abandon the race. The incident prompted concerns among supporters about his future in the sport, particularly given previous retirement speculation tied to his contract expiration at the end of 2028.
The rider has moved to reassure his fanbase about his long-term commitment. During a visit to the Tour of Denmark in late July, Vingegaard indicated he has made no definitive retirement decision, stating that his choice at the end of 2028 would depend on how he feels at that time. He emphasized that numerous race victories remain on his agenda, suggesting continued motivation to compete.
Vingegaard’s commitment to racing was further reinforced through a public gesture captured by France Television. After a young French fan expressed distress about the rider’s crash and fears for his career continuation, Vingegaard recorded a video message assuring the supporter that he would not retire. The rider presented the fan with a signed team jersey and invited him to visit Visma-Lease a Bike during the 2027 Tour de France, offering tickets to bring a guest.
Before his Tour de France crash, Vingegaard had already claimed three significant victories in 2026, winning the Giro d’Italia, Volta a Catalunya, and Paris-Nice—achievements that marked his first victories in each of those races.
