Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Wizard of Visma

[Netserk]

On Puy de Dôme, he will turn the clocks back 27 years. It will be a blast.

Consider it a preview of Oppenheimer's Trinity scene.

Can you save me the trouble and tell me if you have a hot take on Vingegaard lying around here?

He's clearly peaking too early!

Nobody saw Paris Nice?

Vingegaard literally only trained for 8-12 minute climbs this entire season. TT was >30 minutes and he lost to Mikkel frigging Bjerg.

 

[bNator]

Pogacar did exactly the same to Vingegaard in Paris-Nice... strangely, there it wasn't seen as boring. Now how could that be...

Pogacar makes faces while dropping other guys😁

 

[Extinction]

This is all just a preamble to what is yet to come. He dropped a subpar Carapez just cruising. Still he's playing with children.

Anyone able to compare to this shorter effort by Roglic, G, and TGH?

[RedheadDane]

Silly fact:
Both times he has held yellow in a ASO race, he has taken it from a UAE rider.

5 vs 9 minute effort is a substantial difference (the second is 80% longer). The first is basically VO2max effort, the latter a few percent lower (how much lower it's individual). I would say very comparable, maybe Primoz's looks a bit more impressive but let's remember that he's a monster on a few minute long climbs.

In the Dauphine TT last year, he lost to Ethan Hayter, Mattia Cattaneo and Luke Durbridge, but still managed to find a decent level in time for the Tour.

GC riders doing surprisingly well in GT ITTs, especially the final one, is a tale as old as time.

If anyone is wondering why Vingegaard was emotional yesterday:

Danish newspaper B.T. writes today, that his wife and child is in Annecy currently (they stay there often), and the playground that got attacked is one they frequent almost daily, they just randomly decided not to go yesterday

And in happier news, the fact that she's his wife is news - at least to the public - too.

But a bit weird he doesn't wanna say when they got married. I don't assume that was the "family situation" he had to attend to ahead of Paris-Nice.

 

[jmdirt]

OK, if Jonas shows us too much this weekend he's a head of schedule, but if he doesn't show us enough he's behind...tough situation.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Very good performance. However for some reason, I have a feeling that everything is going too perfect and this is when a mishap happens. Hope to be wrong...
After this, what he is going to do? An alttitude camp or just recon some stages?

 

[KZD]

10th win of the season for Vingegård today. If he continues like this, he might very well reach Pogačar's 16 wins of 2022. A different beast when compared to last year.

Jumbo also looking strong as a team.

 

[Netserk]

I'm 90 % confident that this is what ideal prep looks like, but I also have 10 % doubt. This is Jumbo, being too good too soon is a real possibility.

The Tour isn't a monument though.

I really don't think so. Besides jumbo being the best team in terms of training, Vingegaard already showed this type of performance on last year's dauphine. He is not yeat on peak shape, and clearly he wasn't full gas on croix fer, even if he won the stage.

Been thinking the same. This is the best and most impressive Jonas Vingegaard I ever have seen.
But then again he also have to win with good time difference to Yates here if he want to beat Pogacar in the Tour.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

and clearly he wasn't full gas on croix fer

BS, why would the team launch him if he‘s not even going to go full gas, he‘s got to test himself before the Tour.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Because he wanted to win the stage and seal up race, but without going full gas if possible. He has his training numbers to look at. That said, I don't think he was soft pedalling.

So by how much would he have won if he had gone full gas? He gained over 40 seconds on second place in 15 minutes.

Besides what @Samu Cuenca said, when he goes full gas like in hautacam and granon, he makes that "suffering face".

 

[Lequack]

In this form he will win the TDF by 10+ minutes.
