    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    I understand. But still I was surprised to see how much his level has dropped in just three weeks. I could have understood if he arrived at the 10th or 12th place. But it was shocking to see that he was dropped at a point where there were still at least 80 riders left in the peloton. Honestly I...

    Nice to see that at the end of the Tour he showed signs of being a human, despite claims of him being alien. This in my opinion only gives more credit to him, because his visible fatigue in the last week points towards that he is probably clean and seeing him being just a bit human only makes...

    Tour de France Rate the 2025 Tour de France

    6 it was ok, but no particulary great tour. No real contention for the win and to much time gaps between the riders from spot 1 to 3. Also disappointing that Evenepoel was not at his best and that Vingegaard didn´t even win one single stage. At least we had riders like Healy, Arensman...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    I agree. He tried all? Really? If he had tried all he could have attacked 3-5 km. from the finish line on the big mountain stage thursday and then he would maybe have catched up O´Connor. And yesterday - don´t tell me that he could not have attacked 300 meters earlier, what would have been...

    Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 19: Albertville-La Plagne (93.1k) ‚Historic day, magnificent racing‘ ~ Rob Hatch, probably

    Vingegaard yesterday was one of the most stupid things I have ever seen in cycling. He started his attack when Arensman had already won and when he was unreachable, just because he was afraid of losing to Pogi if he started ten-fiften seconds earlier. That is so *** dammed stupid that I...

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Today it was clear that he didn´t want Vingegaard to win so to get a little revenge on him he didn´t want to catch up Arensman and Vingegaard was naive enough to believe that Pogi would catch up Arensman and go for the stage win (what Pogi in reality didn´t really care about). I think Pogi was...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    To be honest he did go all in for five minutes on the madeleine. For the rest of the stage he sat behind his teammates that did the work for him at at pretty moderate pace sat by Yates. So I don´t agree with you if you think he could not have tried a little bit more. He attacked ONE time for...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    I don´t know if generally he is boring, but I agree that he should have been more coragious in this Tour. He was too passive on various ocasions where he had the chance to either win the stage or to test Pogi. Of course it is NO SHAME to lose to Pogi who is better than Vingegaard. But it is a...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    Sure, I did watch the entire stage... And yes, he did attack on the Madeleine, but I am still disappointed that he was so passive on the last climb. Of course you could be right about that he didn´t have the legs, but the fact is that he had told that he would go ALL IN for the victory and...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    It is possible, yes. Probably his tank was simply empty and that´s fair enough if he gave everything and couldn´t do more, of course. But the thing that annoys me is that no journalist asked him after the race WHY he waited so long to attack, so we never really got any answer to our question...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    I guess you are right. Jonas was bluffing and knew all the time that he couldn´t get four minutes on Pogi, so his big words before the stage were just to please the fans and sponsors. The reality is that he didn´t have the legs to follow his plan and to attack Pogi on the last climb, so...

    I enjoyed listening to him today as a guest commentator for TV2. I think he has a great future as a commentator if that is a road he wants to follow...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    I am a bit disappointed. Jonas had kind of promised that he would go all in for the victory but instead he just sat on Pogi´s wheel and only attacked about 1 km. from the finish line. That didn´t exactly look like a guy who seriously believed that he could win the Tour de France. In my opinion...

    Tour de France Tour de France 2025, Stage 18: Vif - Courchevel Col de La Loze(171.5k)

    I am a bit disappointed about this stage. Vingegaard had promised that he would go all out for the victory, but instead he was totally passive on the last climb and only attacked about 1 km. from the finish line. Too late to make any difference. I have the feeling that he didn´t really believe...
