Jonas Vingegaard: Something is Rotten

[Mayomaniac]

That fissh doesn't only smell rotten, it's probably even radioactive.
How many fans who were on the road today wil be reecovered with radiation poisoning symptoms, any bets?

I wonder if he changed his mind about a cleaner sport today...

He doesn't have a good memory. Didn't Big Mig absolutely obliterate people in his first TDF win?

Not by 4.5 s/km, which is the metric he is referencing.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

15 clinic pages in the last 4 hours, not bad!

 

[Salvarani]

Assuming we're right talking about them in the clinic (I'm still on the fence), he's trolling everybody else. Pog clearly is on the same juice in that case.

Pog did a better ITT, than in 2020. Putting over a minute into Van Aert today. He has his own thread.

Maybe UAE just didnt think JV and Vinge would/could do this. Had the balls to do it, so blatantly. A miscalculation on their side.

If we're talking the 1991 Tour he won the two ITTs by 8" and 27".
Both were considerably longer than today's ITT.

You are getting at what the problem is, because the answer apparently is no, not even *** Indurain did something like this. Also: Indurain was a huge rouleur type of rider, not a Skeletor.

One of the best TT-riders in the world but wont race worlds

 

[Tim Cahill]

Taking the corners at 100%

They'd already relayed the course in December and decided Jonas was just going to do a quick 7.6 for 13 on this section and take it easy at 6.3 on the others

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I've heard his mother was actually pregnant with quintuplets, but Jonas absorbed the powers of the other four fetuses before he was born.

A lot to do with the 'no information about the other times' and the I thought my meter was broken. (by giving 20W)
I'm starting to believe more and more he just went balls deep because he didn't really know where he was and when he saw UAE cars he thought Pog must have a bad day... instead of i'm completely flying. I would have loved to hear what was being said over that channel...

was it :" you are doing great, keep going" or 'not so fast, not so fast..."

Its not the first time, after seeing bonkers performances, we get the answer: ''i didn't hear anything'. Guessing these riders go faster without earpieces. (thats a marginal negative gain over the 90ies)

Does Jonas still have both of his testicles?

More probably.

Indurain crushed the field on 50 or even 60 km TTs. Absolute gaps were bigger (up to 2-3 minutes) but not relative (per km or percentage).

 

[BullsFan22]

What is this? These are elite riders. Of course their numbers are off the chart. But please do learn how to use 'orders of magnitude' corretly.

When Pogacar did his 2020 performance, people said that Pogacar was special in how he would recover from lactic acid and how that was his unique unusual physical trait that would 'explain' his performance.

Come *** on!

And wasn't it for a long time that people said that VO2Max wasn't as important and useful because several people were dominating with lower VO2max values than others?

Pogačar’s high vo2 and the ability to flush out lactate faster than most is a plus. Of course he’s juicing, but he’s not less talented than Vingo.

*Never won a world Tour ITT 🤣

 

[hender-retour]

I wasn’t around back then, how good were the 2nd ITT riders to Indurain? Like really good and he was just insanity or was he really good on top of them being Pantani spec

Rominger, Olano, Zulle and Ugromov were good as well. And none of them built like Pantani/Vinge in size.

 

[ashhutch1997]

I've just gone out for a 2 hour ride to try and clear my head and make sense of what a watched today.
I didn't work

It is probably well known now that Vinge is not the smartest guy. If the ear-piece didnt work or he couldnt hear... he by default, just kept going.

A smarter guy might have realized, looking at his meter. "I am going too fast right now" and eased up just a little bit. He just admitted he couldnt believe his numbers. It just shouldnt be possible.

Did anyone see Van Aert in the hot-seat by the way, when the camera panned to him after Vinge passed the line? He was absolutely creasing/laughing. Putting his hat down to cover his face, when he realized he was being filmed, and then just smiled putting it back on as he stood up.

 

[hender-retour]

Yeah, back then small thin climbers were losing to tall muscular guys in TTs. That stopped with Froome.
No one was ever able to explain why GC contenders were beating TT specialists in the third week of the TdF. And now they aren't just beating them, they are crushing them by many minutes.

Imagine Pantani beating Ullrich by minutes on a flat TT!

Or imagine a 65kg female boxer beat Tyson Fury. If the laws of physics no longer seem to be valid, no PED can explain that.

Yeah but most of the time trials back then were pancake flat and 50 km. Big guys could lose minutes to the likes of Escartin and Virenque (even Pantani many years) in the mountains but with few exemptions it didn't matter overall.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Rominger, Olano, Zulle and Ugromov were good as well. And none of them built like Pantani/Vinge in size.

Bugno 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.

Correct. With todays performance how could I forget Berzin haha. That team was so fun in (dont remember the year).

I noticed that exact same thing and was laughing about it; the look on his face seemed partly "Wow, did I just get my a** kicked" but also partly "Even if he IS my teammate, that is f***ing ridiculous".
