Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Butterfly Effect

[Froome]

Nor does he want to be.

'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

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

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.

Not according to the article you shared.

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

 

[SHAD0W93]

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).

 

[Froome]

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.

That interview is from the beggining of last week, it makes sense.

With all the pictures he has to stop for, he'll need 25 hours a day to reach 6 hours of training.

At least they can't say he is unfriendly.

I can be pretty unpleasant while getting a picture taken. However people rarely mistake me for a celebrity, so I don't get to be as much as I would like, unfortunately.

Skeletor must be really weak in wattage department so those amateurs simply catch him and ask for photos.

Probably he is at at 3.4 w/kg at the moment, but he will improve 0.05 w/kg per day, during the next 36 days, reaching the 7 w/kg on 29th june.

Forget about marginal gains, linear gains are what it’s all about in the 2020s.

You are talking with froome, how can i forget the marginal gains?! Never!

This way he will be at only 5.2 w/kg at the Tour start. He needs marginal gains of 0.1 w/kg per day, haha!

What sun cream is he using?
