Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

[SHAD0W93]

Actually he needs someone who can replace Nathan!

If Vingegaard isn’t at 100% WVA becomes more valuable due to being able to help and support and long range move. Visma aren’t going to go crazy for fear of Vingegaard losing time or getting harder to get to top shape.

The WVA version who's racing in Norway needs an upgrade.

WVA probably doesn’t want to be selected and made to work for Vinge again. Maybe a Roglic reunion is coming soon.

Yes, Red Bull should gather all their helmets in the peloton to their team.

I was trying to say that Visma needs someone to replace Nathan, because he was very good protecting the leader in the flat stages. There's nobody like him, Wout is not his replacement.

Nor does he want to be.

New photo of Jonas

Plugge and Zeeman look rather stressed but Jonas looks OK.

Like I said, they should only be posting photos of him in a wheelchair until Florence.

Tomorrow will be more!

'We need to be sure he can be at 100%' – No deadline for decision on Jonas Vingegaard's Tour de France participation

Richard Plugge says Tadej Pogačar’s 'real level' can't be judged until he faces Big Four in July

www.cyclingnews.com

There is a strong possibilty that Wout can also go to the Tour.

 

[SHAD0W93]

More likely neither or 1 starts the Tour then both.

Vingegaard also still hasn’t started training normally by the sounds of it. Him being close enough to his top shape was always a pipe dream but that doesn’t mean he can’t win a stage or a miracle happens and something occurs to the other 3. I think his best bet is still the Vuelta and not rushing anything that can cause issues down the road.

 

[Elos Anjos]

I'm wondering if so many pictures and the time and pauses they entail speak about Vingegaard not training that hard and hence that he is not in line for going to the Tour at 100%.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Number of Vingo pics is very suspicious, it's not his normal behaviour. I'm really starting to think that it's not him: Area 51 is his current location as @Froome pointed out but Visma LAB somehow has to show him to fans (overdoing it actually).

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Just because he's said that the Tour will be won by a Dane once again, it doesn't mean it has to be by him, so Michael Mørkøv FTW!

Yes, I know. My point was “nor does he want to be” the replacement for Nathan protecting the leader on flat stages.”

Well, if he doesn't start the Tour, we'll know his injuries were as bad as reported. Otherwise they should only be posting fotos of him in a wheelchair!

Not to be pedantic, but I totally am:
There is a deadline! Pretty sure 29/6 is the deadline. Maybe even earlier.

I think they already know if Vingegaard can or not be in the Tour and in what kind of shape, since he is in Mallorca, but in terms of communication, they want to play "safely".

He is already training normally. At least since the end of last week.

Tim Heemskerk said last week, he would just leave Denmark if he could do normal training.

Tim Heemskerk said last week, he would just leave Denmark if he could do normal training.

And Tim Hermskerk said at this time he hasn’t resumed normal training but they hope by the end of the week he will be able to.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Normal training 5-6 weeks before the Tour and after 6-7 weeks of healing/recovery or very light training. I don't think that this is enough. They will make the decision on this later: the goal is to get back to being competitive as quickly as possible regardless of his next race (be it Tour or Vuelta or something between).
