This update is crucial as Affini’s participation is vital for Visma’s strategy in the competition. Affini faced a serious crash during the National Championships time trial last week, colliding with a guardrail at high speed. Initial concerns about his injuries lingered, but Visma-Lease a Bike confirmed he has no fractures, though reports suggested he suffered lacerations. Speculation surrounded his availability, with other riders on standby in case he couldn’t compete. However, on Tuesday morning, Visma announced that Affini is ready to travel to Barcelona and will participate in the 2026 Tour de France as scheduled. The race kicks off on Saturday with a team time trial, where Affini will play a key role in helping Visma secure a strong start. His presence is particularly significant following the loss of teammates Christophe Laporte and Wout van Aert, putting extra pressure on the remaining support for Vingegaard. Alongside Affini, Vingegaard will be backed by Matteo Jorgenson, Sepp Kuss, Davide Piganzoli, Bruno Armirail, Victor Campenaerts, and Per Strand Hagenes. #TourDeFrance #EdoardoAffini #JonasVingegaard #NationalChampionships #CyclingNews #Cycling #UFC #MMA #sports #podcast 🏆 More Cyclisme podcasts: https://sports-podcasts.com/en/sport/cyclisme/ 🎧 Listen to the full playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoWFEoIqbbFvypZ5JaUPiUcQ7dMN-OW5P
