Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Mountain Sprinter

[Krzysztof_O]

He's riding around very public roads in Mallorca on the softest climbs getting photographed by everyone... at a time when Visma announced a new Danish sponsor will be on their jersey in the TdF as well.

I mean I don't want to sound cynical here because certainly the rider will be doing everything he can to get into shape (& that deserves total respect, obviously) but IMO there's quite a bit of public relations fluff going on with the Vingegaard situation.

It's just over 5 weeks until the TdF. The clock is ticking.

The goal is to get back into reasonable shape first. Then they will make precise plans. The Tour looks more like a PR stunt to me. Vuelta is more realistic. They probably won't announce his next goal until mid June.

He was spotted again on top of Col soller.

Is that really Jonas, though? Or are they just messing with us and this specific cafe has a cardboard photo of him?

This looks like some old photo of Jonas (probably AI generated) or simply a new model activated!

This is just a double of Jonas. The real Jonas is on area 51, updating is software to beat everyone in the Tour including doing a stomp on Roglic!

Much more likely, as i don't know on why would Jonas now all of the sudden become a party animal.

The double of original Jonas or the new updated one? As for that last remark, there we really started to go in sci-fi territory.

This thread is great, people making up the same dumb jokes and scenarios every day, a bit like the Remco thread.

No way that is Jonas.

New Jonas photo just dropped!!!

 

[Lequack]

I see Jonas is going for the bad boy image now with the rolled up sleeves.

Let me guess, you took your own photo and had put Jonas head on it? Otherwise i don't get it. Just today i have seen a similar attempt on where Remco has put Pogi head on his body.

Why not?

 

[CyclistAbi]

Why not?

This person has a tattoo of a butterfly on his left arm.

The tatoo....i thought the tatoo wasn't a real tatoo, but since he has a tatoo some time ago, i guess is real.

People can get new tatoos.

But I hope it's not him, it's horrible.

It's Kate Middleton's famous photoshopped mother's day pic.

BTW back on topic, Wout van Aert says the Olympics are a more realistic goal for himself than the Tour:

Wout van Aert voorzichtig na zware revalidatie: "Olympische Spelen zijn realistischer dan de Tour"

Wout van Aert maakt donderdag zijn rentree in het peloton na zijn zware val in Dwars door Vlaanderen. Na lange tijd revalideren keert de kopman van Visma | Lease a Bike terug in competitie in de Ronde van Noorwegen. “Het is een leuk gevoel om weer renner te zijn”, vertelt Van Aert in gesprek met...

www.wielerflits.nl

He says things only came around for him a couple of weeks ago & notes the difference between riding a bike & actually training.

It makes me think Vingegaard's presence at the TdF (certainly in competitive form) is a bit utopian at this point, irrespective of all the photos & videos of him riding in Mallorca.

 

[Tim Cahill]

It's one of those peel on ones you get with a bloody 5p bubblegum from the newsagents, his kid probably gave it him as a gift.

I had one of a skull and crossbones once I thought looked pretty sharp, but my mum made me scrub it off because it bore a striking resemblance to the SS Totenkopf.

He is getting in the best shape of his life. He just forgot to start with "all in all" and end with "we'll see". That would be almost GOAT territory.

There was also a comma in the post which should have been replaced by a full stop, but I guess he was writing in Z1.5.

I have seen more photos of Jonas the last two days than in my 30 years previously.

Something FISHY is going on.

This thread is a tough read.

Just like Avril Lavigne, Jonas Vingegaard died and was replaced by a body double.

The Beatles did it first
