Uno-X Mobility manager confirms contact with Jonas Vingegaard
Thor Hushovd, the general manager of the Uno-X Mobility cycling team, has confirmed that the team has been in contact with two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard. Speaking to the Danish broadcaster TV2, Hushovd acknowledged the discussions but noted significant obstacles to a potential transfer.
The primary challenge cited is Vingegaard’s high salary. While reports vary on the exact scale of the financial requirement, Hushovd indicated that the team would likely need to secure major external support or a partnership with a Danish company to make such a move feasible. One report suggests Vingegaard's current earnings at Visma | Lease a Bike are approximately five million euros per year.
Vingegaard is currently under contract with Visma | Lease a Bike until 2028. Despite the financial hurdles, Hushovd expressed that signing the Danish rider would be a dream for the Scandinavian team, noting that Uno-X Mobility is viewed as an attractive and exciting project.
