Tour of Spain 2023 : the real numbers of dopingJumbo-Visma ridicules Remco Evenepoel |
Jonas Vingegaard, crowned with his recent victory, his second, in the Tour de France, comes to challenge the outgoing winner Remco Evenepoel. He is supported by Primoz Roglic, winner of the 2023 Tour of Italy and already three-time winner of the Tour of Spain, and by Sepp Kuss who is completing his fifth grand tour in a row. The Jumbo-Visma team is therefore in a good position to win the three grand tours in one year.
They achieved this unique feat in the history of cycling after having crushed the race and ridiculed adversity by placing their three leaders on the final podium (Kuss, Vingegaard and Roglic), another feat never achieved since 1966 (Kas-Kascol on the Vuelta with only nine teams entered). “This hat-trick [in the three races], we already had it in mind last November. It had to be done step by step,” reveals Richard Plugge, team manager, on the eve of the arrival in Madrid. Insatiable, the team also achieved the hat-trick on the main stages of Tourmalet and Angliru.
On the starting line in Barcelona, six riders were pinned in our doping directory. That's as many as in 2022 and one more than at the Tour de France 2023. Unsurprisingly, the Astana team is hosting two of them: Luis Leon Sanchez and Andrey Zeitz. The Kazakh team is second to last in our Trust Index (ICCD) for a reason!
This Tour did not disappoint, if we dare not say. Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar have effectively "destroyed" their opponents. After which Vingegaard also smashed his Slovenian opponent.
"Who can I trust?". This is the question that everyone asks themselves every year at the start of a grand Tour. To provide some answers, since 2021 we have been publishing our ICCD : Cyclisme-Dopage.com Confidence Index.
We use this ICCD to attach colored symbols to the names of teams and riders in the lists below.

The table below establishes, team by team, the count of the riders who have been or will be subsequently "pinned" in doping cases.
