Jonas Vingegaard has revealed that he has a missed anti-doping test on his record, saying that it's "definitely something I think about afterwards to make sure it doesn't happen again."

The double Tour de France winner spoke extensively about cycling's history, anti-doping, and testing in an interview with Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet. He said that "it's a shame" that the sport is suffering from the numerous doping scandals of the past, while also acknowledging Jumbo-Visma teammate Michel Hessmann's ongoing case.
