Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

[DNP-Old]

MvdP has had a couple of those what you would call low hanging fruits this season and no one seems to mind that much. To the contrary, I’ve heard people proclaiming him top racer of his generation.

If Rogla wins, he will have beaten Pog, Remco and a bunch of other worthy opponents at the tender age of almost 35. He will have been the second oldest TdF winner ever and the oldest in the last 100 years. Low hanging fruit indeed 🤣

I was actually referring to johnnymax level of instigating, but cool to see this got to you.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Most definitely a worse prep than Pog in 2023 if he decides to race. Prolly not even comparable.

Looks grim I must admit, but bike riders are insane, so why rule anything out. Hope he makes it. Dont really care about the race in Spain, thats an afterthought atm

Keeping the closed poll, not changing the title of the thread, but instead making the thumbnail his hospital picture ...

You certainly had me fooled… well done!

This will end up being a more captivating storyline than the entire Giro

 

[Froome]

Sounds intriguing 🤨 not to encourage you to get banned, of course…

I mean I know he has a tendency to disappear for weeks if there’s nothing going on on the Rog front. So @Froome I wouldn’t worry too much, you’ll get your arch-nemesis back sooner or later…

My arch-nemesis but always friendly and very polite. He never loses composure.

It wouldn't me surprise that Visma does some bluff with Vingegaard until the Tour, if things work well for him.

I can. Do you want me to?

Send Kuss to the Tour as main GC guy and have Vingegaard focus fully on the Vuelta. A specifically prepared Vingegaard that isnt handcuffed by Kuss at the Vuelta would be great to see and ats some variety to his palmares.

I also think that getting the Vuelta out of the way this year would be good. How about mega peak for WC, we haven't really seen what the confident "new Jonas" can do in one days races. Would be funny if he won it, not sure all the blowhard skeleton shouting type guys could handle him having that jersey.

Hes not strong enough for that. Its as likely he wins WC as its for Bernal to win Wc if were beeing honest.

He s at best good enough to even get on the team as a helper but im not really sure of that either.

I think so too, but not much lost if he is only able to do the late season.

That's tongue in cheek, right?

 

[Froome]

I'm seriously about CyclistAbi.

I'm a fan but it's not like he's not a known quantity. He's not going to surprise anyone now that Jonas is out of the Tour picture and 3 weeks of the TdF is a new level of competition for him. Getting close to the podium is a reasonable target unless there is more chaos and other team leaders are out of the mix all together.
He will be a good rider but it's reasonable to give him another year or two.

Maybe Roglic winning the Tour 2020, is the only way of having the return of @CyclistAbi 😕

I thought they had said after TotBC that they were taking a break from the forum until the Tour?

 

[Netserk]

I give Jorgenson epsilon chance to top-5 the Tour.

CA's promised similar things before without keeping them, so who knows?

I know this is rather off-topicy, but... erm...

Spoiler: SECRET!

Roglic didn't win the 2020 Tour. Pogacar did.
Big-huge upset on the final ITT.

It's not too late. Froome won the 2011 Vuelta in 2019.

I don't think we should go there.
At least not here...
