Despite preventive measures such as collecting passports, obtaining affidavits, assigning cabin crew over the age of 50 on Canada flights, the airline has failed to foil such incidents. The main potential factors behind the disappearances of its crew members are thought to be low salaries and concerns about the airline’s expected privatisation, as well as Canada’s relatively liberal asylum policies.

While the 2020 and 2021 Tour winner’s lightning attack on the ascent of San Luca left fellow favourites Primoz Roglic and Remco Evenepoel seemingly glued to the road, Vingegaard had no trouble keeping up despite entering the race having not competed since he sustained a collapsed lung in a crash almost three months ago. “Jonas was on my wheel, we can…
