The question remains unchanged: Will Vingegaard race the world championship? And the definitive answer is not yet clear, although everything suggests the balance is tilting towards yes.

The certain answer was not even pronounced by the Danish national team coach, former professional Michael Morkov, who spoke about the world championship in an interview with the newspaper Feltet: "Obviously, I will build the team around the country's best climbers. Jonas? For over a year, I've been saying that thecourse suits him. He has already proven in the past to be very good when cycling at altitude, thanks to his physical constitution, and in Rwandathe entire race takes place between 1,400 and 1,765 meters. There will be a lot of climbing, which makes the race challenging. I think it's a good course for Jonas: the climbs are short, but the final elevation will be very high, and 267 kilometers require endurance that he has".

Morkov did not want to make any reference to the conversations he has had in recent weeks with Vingegaard, but something transpires and it is understood that the two have also discussed the approach to the world championship: "If the Vuelta is raced, there really isn't time to train at altitude before facing the world championship (the Spanish race ends on September 14, in Rwanda it is raced on the 28th, ed). But I believe the Vuelta can be good preparation for the World Championships, and riders like Jonas can adapt quickly to high-altitude races".

If Vingegaard ultimately says yes, it will be his debut in a professional World Championship, a rare opportunity to test himself in a one-day race, far from his usual focus on Grand Tours.Regarding high-level road races, Vingegaard's curriculum is rather sparse and reports his best results as a 14th and 16th place at Il Lombardia. But the world championship in Rwanda can represent a great opportunity to change course.
