Which Danish cyclist won the Tour de France in both 2022 and 2023?

The story behind the answer

Jonas Vingegaard won the Tour de France in both 2022 and 2023.

The Danish rider first took the yellow jersey in 2022 after finishing second overall in 2021. Riding for Jumbo–Visma, he defeated defending champion Tadej Pogačar and secured his first Grand Tour victory.

Vingegaard successfully defended the title in 2023, again finishing ahead of Pogačar. Their rivalry became the central story of both Tours, particularly in the mountain stages and individual time trials.

The common mix-up is with Bjarne Riis, the previous Danish Tour winner, who won in 1996. Jakob Fuglsang and Michael Rasmussen were also prominent Danish professionals, but neither won the Tour de France overall.
