Vingegaard, despite dominating 2024 so far, must be shaking his pants. The charlatan that is San Millan is finally gone. Gonna have to up his level further to stand a chance in July.

Vinge rode away from Bernal, Carapaz. Gaudu, Martinez... on much lesser climbs in Camiño every time he sneezed,
You don't have to have a cold in order to sneeze. A sneeze is not a cough. And you can even cough without having a cold.Just moving this over from the Evenepoel thread...
So... it seems he had a cold during Gran Camiño...

Jonas Vingegaard continue d'impressionner en ce début de saison. Après le O Gran Camino (voir article pécédent), il remporte cette fois une course par étape « world Tour » Tirreno-Adriatico.

Some calculations by frederic portoleau about TA.
" Kämna at the head of the peloton develops the equivalent of 470 standard watts for 9min43sec (3.43 km at 8.86%) . The leaders still remain sheltered in the peloton. Then Jay Hindley attacks, only Juan Ayuso and Jonas Vingegaard can accompany him. 1min30sec later, 6.2 km from the finish, Vingegaard countered and left alone in front. Since Hindley's attack, Vingegaard has just developed the equivalent of 464 standard watts (6.8 w/kg if 60 kg) for 7min38sec (2.95 km at 7.8%) . The Dane continues his effort and continues to widen the gap. After 8.1 km of climbing, he is 35 seconds ahead of Ayuso and Hindley and 54 seconds ahead of a group led most often by Tom Pidcock . He has just completed a block of 12min15sec at 459 standard watts (6.74 w/kg if 60 kg) . The Dane is assured of winning the general classification and the stage then relaxes its effort in the last two kilometers. It is located at 412 standard watts (6.05 w/kg if 60 kg) on this final for 5min20sec."
"Jonas Vingegaard of course achieves the best time of the climb in 27min17sec for the 10.035km at 8.06%. Its average speed is 22.15 km/h. Its estimated power is 6.65 w/kg (if 60 kg) or 448 standard watts."
For sure it will be 58 kg on Tour de France, but in the calculations, normally they use a standard weight, to compare the performances of each rider.Wonder if he is 58kg already.
Hmm, I'm not sure how early he eased up. It certainly wasn't as clear as on Croix de Fer.Vingegaard impérial sur Tirreno Adriatico, par Frédéric Portoleau

I also think he was on the limit in the last 2 km, just like on tourmalet.Hmm, I'm not sure how early he eased up. It certainly wasn't as clear as on Croix de Fer.
I know it's normalized. I was just thinking that with these numbers from "Pogileaks" coming from this Mou character, the weigh is probably very close to correct. Same when Remco postes his adventures. While with Jonas we only really get these normalized value's. I don't put too much stock in this stuff, but just a thought.For sure it will be 58 kg on Tour de France, but in the calculations, normally they use a standard weight, to compare the performances of each rider.
Those "pogileaks" are funny because it would mean that Pogacar stagnated in the last couple years. Probably he can do even better than the numbers he talked about in those specific conditions.I know it's normalized.

Kuss was in red. Rogla rode for the win as they had agreed to. That was the deal in the team, bring all the captains and let them race.Respect for Landa, didn't know most of the peloton was backing Kuss. Roglic didn't have to prove anything at that point. Everyone knew why Kuss was in yellow but Roglic just had to make it about himself. Of course, his fate at Visma was sealed the day Vingegaard was announced for the Vuela, because Jonas doesn't race not to win...
Bejes is where the team managment *** it up completely, so I doubt it'll be in.It basically confirms what we knew back then. The original agreement in the team was to race for the title. Vingegaard preferred the team to ride for Kuss, while Rogla wanted freedom to go for it as had been the plan. Then after Angliru, management turned around and decided to end the race for the title.
I hope the documentary will show more about Bejes and the reactions afterwards.
Another very objective and neutral piece. Thanks a lot.Article about the Vuelta, and Vingegaard, Kuss, Roglic drama and why Roglic had to go.

Exactly, but it was sadistic to agree to that on the part of Visma management. At some point Vingegaard had second thoughts, but Roglic didn't.Kuss was in red. Rogla rode for the win as they had agreed to. That was the deal in the team, bring all the captains and let them race.
It was nasty to follow previously established plans to race for it?Exactly, but it was sadistic to agree to that on the part of Visma management. At some point Vingegaard had second thoughts, but Roglic didn't.
The whole situation was effed, and to attack Kuss on the Angliru was just nasty. There was absolutely no need to do that. The fact that Landa saved Kuss says a lot about Visma's agreement...
Anyway, I'm looking forward to watching the series...i might have a different view after that although we'll never know the whole story.
Welcome back.Another very objective and neutral piece. Thanks a lot.
