I really don't have anything to add, as it has pretty much all been said ... but I wanted to get into the thread on such a monumental day for posterity's sake.
Ahh thank you John Larsen, thank you for reminding me that cycling is now clean.

OK, so we know he isn‘t full of ***. Case dismissed!Dutch tv now has Stef Clement explain that Vinegaard eats less fibre, which means he has 500g less *** in his gut, which makes him lighter, and also helps keep his tummy flat, which makes him more aero.
WUT

WUT you can't make this *** up. Good thing that Dumoulin is on the Belgian tv.
Focus on the parts you can explain, not on the stuff that can'tI love how some people make it all about aerodynamics and aggressive descending, when Vingegaard did one of the craziest climbing performances ever.
Thanks for giving me more evidence that this guy is neurodiverse!Also, it seems like people are actually believing Jonas cut fish for a living out of necessity. It wasn't though, here from his former DS;
"- It was about us giving Jonas some structure in his everyday life. If he had nothing else to do, it could well be 12-13 before he came out to train. By getting him a job, we were able to put the training and time into a different perspective, and that was important for Jonas's maturation as a person, says Christian Andersen."
It was just to get him off the couch ;-). Valgren had the same job before Vingo.
Never thought I'd see anything like this again .. what is he on ? Are there any new substances doing the rounds ?
Idk, doping fueled dominance tends to be sticky. Indurain - 5 years, Armstrong - 7 years, Sky - 7 years.Don't worry people, he went too far today, and next year someone else will get full clearence to the juice by doping authorities, not him. I bet in one of the spanish or british youngsters too crush Vingo in 2024. Most important now is: don't crush the business that reached new highs.
Without Brexit it would have been a bit saferSick of these Danes already tbh, we've no Duke of Sussex anymore and the Duke of York is a nonce, we are completely vulnerable on our eastern coastline and they will start getting ideas if this carries on.
Onley and Poole need to get on that gene doping/cherry juice sh*t and putting out some big numbers otherwise we are about to see Longships looming over on the horizon.
Speaking of… Alcalá provided no comment to his postBugno was also good and looked really smooth on the TT bike.
The closest to a TT specialist who was built like a climber was probably Berzin with his really low TT position and flat back.
Everybody wants to see Superman beat Batman or vice versa.Long time no see Clinic.
I wasn't following as closely the Tour in the last handful of years and honestly I've grown a little numb over the tragedy of doping in general.
This year I didn't get to watch stages but I was interested, Vingo and Pog being so close at least made for an exciting story.
I suppose I don't have much to add or say than the same incredulity as everyone. Pog's lead is already... spectacular but Vingo burying him by the same gap is... what ?
I'm not gonna get mad and throw speculation about what exactly is happening here without evidence (that we have a good chance of never really getting) but I wanted to write about it and leave a trace, no matter how trite.
That was what I thought was going to happen with Pogacar, but after 2021 Tour mythical stage (where he went too far) they changed their mind and gave JV some benefits.Idk, doping fueled dominance tends to be sticky. Indurain - 5 years, Armstrong - 7 years, Sky - 7 years.

Dumoulin said it was the best TT he’s ever seen. But then he came up with the downhill technique and lighter bike. When Pogi won he couldn’t believe that it was possible, but now with his Jumbo mates doing something even a level above it’s normal.Dutch tv now has Stef Clement explain that Vinegaard eats less fibre, which means he has 500g less *** in his gut, which makes him lighter, and also helps keep his tummy flat, which makes him more aero.

[edit]
Wait, I can't even explain it because it gets censored. We are talking about poo, dung, feces, excrement.
I've seen talk that French riders do perform pretty well on UCI points overall (though possibly slowly declining) but it's been a long struggle to get a multi-stage contender -as everyone know-.Everybody wants to see Superman beat Batman or vice versa.
That is why this is all allowed.. if it was to chaotic and even, then people would lose interest.. Nothing fun in seeing shifting riders drop each day.
That being said, I am sure the French are mad about them not having a Batman.
Two things can be simultaneously true. I believe he was and is a talent. And that he's doped to his teeth.Ahh thank you John Larsen, thank you for reminding me that cycling is now clean.

Come on it’s taking risks, faster corneringAre the pundits defending dopers actually delusional enough to believe they’re clean or are they being paid off? A performance like this is so obviously glowing it’s embarrassing to admit you’re that naive.
