Jonas Vingegaard: Something is Rotten

[briteco]

long time lurker, seen some crazy ***. this one required me to make an account.

hope he gets caught, disgusting to see this.

 

[zlev11]

i havent laughed at the tv screen this much since ventoux 2013

 

[ashhutch1997]

congrats to jumbo lab,we have a new armstrong

I watched Lance, this make Lance look natty

 

[hrotha]

Congratulations Jonas Vingegaard, on your first ever time trial win!

He actually won the ITT at O Gran Camiño earlier this year

That said, loooool

 

[Netserk]

Someone with a photo of the UAE crew watching this?

 

[fbjim]

I want to see full blood bags on Col de la Loze. Get me Pogi flying past the camera moto like Ricardo Riico on the Aspin

 

[perico]

I wonder how Jonás spent his rest day…

 

[ontheroad]

I mean

Pog can't even do the basic homework to not do a bikechange.

That's what you took out of this TT? Not even an e-bike would have sufficed at that point.

 

[ppanther92]

Has it ever happened that the winner was ahead of the number 3 by 3 minutes in a < 25 km timetrial?

Not exactly answering your question but that is stunning already:

Time gap as a % of winning time today - 5.01%
Time gap as a % of winning time when Indurain won by 3 minutes - 3.77%
Time gap as a % of winning time when Ullrich won by 3 minutes - 4.01%

Forget what I said earlier, this is the most insane TT performance in history, and possibly more insane than any non-TT performance too.

Lol Froome literally breaking on a 10% corner up Ventoux, legendary stuff

 

[wheresmybrakes]

The climb is ridiculous but I'll look the other way for now. However, how can one plausibly explain a rider of his weight going so fast on the flats? It defies physics.

It wasn't a rider?

 

[Aimar16]

WVA 'that was an unbelievable performance'

He looked much more in disbelief now during the interview than he did in the 2020 meme picture

 

[Blanco]

could it be motor today?

It must be... I doubt "regular" doping could do this.

 

[Almeisan]

I didn't post here for years. Sure, there may be dopers. But how the *** can a skeleton go 2.5 minutes faster on a short TT with a cat 2 climb?

HOW!?

This isn't even about drugs. Did WvA go that slow?

I remember that Dumolin, who is commentating right now on this TT on NOS tv, say after losing to Pogi on a flat TT by over a minute, that he never would go that fast.
As a result of that, Dumolin retired. I am looking at Dumonlin's arms, they are huge. He is a muscular guy. Pogi took a minute out of Dumolin, who has been a TT expert all his cycling career. Dumonlin was just trying to win that TT. But Pogi was trying to win the general classification.

And now Pogi is just as fast. But Vingegaard goes 2 minutes faster than that? WTF

How can all the blood bags and EPO even do this?

Marginal gains? This is so extreme, it must be an electric motor of some sorts. Or something completely ground breaking in terms of areo.

Dumolin retired because of Pogi's TT back when he had his shock victory over Roglic.
Dumolin said this was the best TT in cycling history, ever.

 

[JonnyBoy]

He is going to dominate the Tour for years.

nah, get Remco to Ineos and he will put 1 minute on peleton on flat stages

 

[DrSahl]

But it's that age old question: isn't everyone doing it? Pogacar was nuclear, too, compared to the field.

Well obviously and people react differently on it. Some have more impact than others and new methods are being developed all the time.. It is like motorsport, the ones that evolve the most, gets the best times.

 

[solo80k]

this was probably the most disturbing stage I have ever seen. How many blood bags did he take yesterday?

Kentones and marginal gains.

 

[Danskebjerge]

I'm sure there's doping involved - but perhaps only doping according to my conception of it. It could be that the riders get medication that is legal according to the rules, or that the teams have made deals with the organizations so that there is no risk of being sanctioned.

 

[SorelyBoy]

Still, Gianetti’s face was a picture.

 

[ashhutch1997]

nah, get Remco to Ineos and he will put 1 minute on peleton on flat stages

Remco isn't on the same stratosphere as these guys lmao

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I wonder how Jonás spent his rest day…

In the bacta tank.

 

[StryderHells]

Remco isn't on the same stratosphere as these guys lmao

Not on his current team

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Are we sure they found Vingegaard in a fish factory and not a laboratory? That was a superhuman performance, as in I cannot believe a human can pull that off even if doped to the gills.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I'm sure there's doping involved - but perhaps only doping according to my conception of it. It could be that the riders get medication that is legal according to the rules, or that the teams have made deals with the organizations so that there is no risk of being sanctioned.

The lengths to which people will go to find alternative explanations for the obvious is really something.

A 60kg rider winning a hilly itt, weird

Dude he put 3 minutes on Van Aert in 22 km. Yes it is frickin' weird

Like you don't even need to believe he's dirty but pretending it wasn't an absolutely bonkers performance is just absurd
