Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Mountain Sprinter

[Froome]

I thought it meant him growing like a butterfly from his injuries to stun everyone by July.

Trust me, we all need that to happen in July. It will be a blessing for cycling!

P.s- i got scared when i read your post and misunderstood "stun" with "stomp". We don’t want stomps, that's terrible cycling!

This sounds like a holy war crusade you’re on. Should pogi get extra security?

 

[Netserk]

86 days before the Tour: Crash, broken ribs and punctured lung, hospitalisation in ICU.
74 days before the Tour: Leaves hospital.
61 days before the Tour: First day on a home-trainer.
53 days before the Tour: First day training outside in Denmark.
41 days before the Tour: First day training in Mallorca.

Normally, I guess the post-Dauphiné altitude camp begins 19 days before the Tour.

 

[Valv.Piti]

More optimistic about him lining up now, but he won't be 100%. Might not need that either to win.

I doubt he started so later in the home trainer.

 

[Netserk]

I doubt he started so later in the home trainer.

Then he would also have trained outside sooner.

 

[Lequack]

So while Pog is tiring himself out, he is gaining energy.

Are we destined for another I'm gone I'm dead moment?

I would think R&R would have cried those words since long.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

What do you mean by R & R? Roglic and Remco? I'm not convinced that Vingo will be in good enough form to fight for the Tour but it could be Rogla who wins the Tour at the expense of weakening Teddy.

No, Jonas won't be able to think of such one liners.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Of all the possible cringe, cheesy, lame tattoos, Jonas picked the #1.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

No, Jonas won't be able to think of such one liners.

Jonas 2.0 will have all the one liners. Instead of I‘m gone I‘m dead, he‘ll say I‘ll be back because it‘s much cooler.

Does he have the Austrian accent though?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

That will be Jonas 3.0

 

[Netserk]

Good point. No matter the combination of words, nothing sounds cool in Valby English.

 

[Extinction]

He should say he's still in a wheelchair as long as possible and then show up at the Tour to crush it.

Yeah, like Rafa before Roland Garros:

 

[Gigs_98]

Say he starts the Tour. Would the lack of preparation mean that he can ride himself into shape or the opposite because he did not have sufficient preparation for a three week race. If it's the former, he struggles in week 1 but gets close to his best in week 3, we could be in for a very spectacular Tour. But while that seems kind of intuitive I have no idea if sport science backs it up.

Vingegaard on La Bonette.

GT is not a controllable training. It's hard to ride oneself into form with attacks from all directions: Teddy, Rogla and Remco won't just wait until Vingo gets better, actually the opposite will be true.

Roglic in in the last 300 meters of every mountain top finish, trying to finish once and for all Vingegaard, until he get's better.(just a joke)

 

[Elos Anjos]

ahah so funny.

Pogi does not get that weak never (enough) anymore during rest career of Roglic. Sad but true (barring any accident, sickness et al)

 

[Nick2413]

The missing out on a month of being on a bike would already be a big deal in the absence of injuries, but coupled with those injuries its really hard to imagine riding into form.
