Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Wizard of Visma

[noob]

Noob first thought is it's all about giving sponsors hope for a miracle.

 

[Froome]

Jonas Vingegaard to miss Critérium du Dauphiné, team still has Tour de France hopes for defending champion

Dane to miss team's altitude camp this week as he recovers from crash injuries

www.cyclingnews.com

According to Zeeman no altitude camp which starts now and no Dauphine but Tour still possible. No info about training, still only about recovery. Do they want him to ride the Tour with so much time without training? (1 month already and counting) or is he already on stationary bike?

Certainly he is already on the stationary bike. No way he would have a chance of going to the Tour with 1 month out of the bike.

They plan to do at least 6 weeks of a good block of training.

I guess he will spend at least almost a month in Tignes.

 

[Peyroteo94]

I'm glad that I don't like him as much as some fans. Dude is so shy and mysterious that it must be frustrating for his die hard fans.
We don't have a single information about his recovery.

They certainly activated a newer model. That's why all this talk about big talent and quick recovery. TdF will be scary for his rivals

That could be my main reason to be a fan

"Finally, Sander Kleikers is asked where the Dane is at the moment.

But this is where the communications manager intervenes.

- There are stories that he is in either Switzerland, France, Italy or Denmark, but it is not something we talk about because it is private, and Jonas wants it to be private, which we naturally respect."

They are updating the software in a unknow location!

I don't really need to know anything about his recovery.
I'm just watching him race, when he's race.
Same goes for every rider.

The teams also normally do some "bluff" when the riders come from injury. Contador before the Vuelta 2014 for example.

Are you expecting me to remember what was said about Contador 10 years ago?

We don't even expect you to remember things from 10 days ago.

That I do. If it's important.

Well what you think is important sometimes differs from other people's opinions.

That says it all. He'll let us know when he's ready and it may be longer, not shorter.

 

[Oldermanish]

The Rog case is quite different. The team itself missed a diagnosis probably because if Rog still goes as hard as he did probably it cant be that bad.

Now they have all the medical facts, amd the worst that can happen is Vingegaard starting the Tour in poor condition and getting worse as the race goes on

Who has all the medical facts? Roglic's convenient diagnosis is the example Jonas should consider before he commits to anything.
This speculative cycle hasn't provided any information.

He's training outside again

Looks like he will be at the Tour and in pretty good shape too!

When can he start his altitude camp?

 

[AmRacer]

Great news, and I'd expect Teddy to hold his horses now. It'll be nice calm Giro from now on.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He should have been wearing one of his yellow jerseys as a tease.

 

[how yes no?]

For comparison, for those pessimists that said there is no comparison betwen the injuries Jonas sustained and the time off bike with regards to Pogačar in 2023.
Pogačar first time outside on the bike was 19. May and he couldn't stand on the pedals till June (we don't know if Jonas can stand on pedals yet, but I imagine that a wrist injury is more complicated with regards to this).
Now I imagine Jonas might have missed more aerobic training because of lung and ribs injury, but with a solid base already there, that can hopefully be regained with little consequences.

So things are again looking up for one of the most competitive Tour starts in a long time.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Finally, we have news about him. Time is ticking until the Tour. This is the "time trial" of his career, hope to see him doing well! Go go fisherman!

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Skeletor back on the road again. We dont know how injuries will affect his form but judging by his comments I wouldnt rule out him appearing in decent shape at the start of the Tour. Will Visma LAB allow sub 100% level? Time will tell. Teddy had better save some of his Giro efforts for later as his kryptonite might be back in July!

How many days were Pogi lying in (hospital) bed?

Zero.

The biggest question is how the lung condition affected his engine. It could've pretty badly. Even though he's on his road bike again only Visma knows his fitness (or are yet to find out, its probably too early for tests). He seemed to take some heavy breaths when talking. Maybe my previous comment was too optimistic.

They say he's riding outdoors, now. That's a pretty baseline start for recovery and we should wish him luck. As for the Tour; only when it's a confirmed start should anyone assume it's real. It'd be great if it happens.

Wasn't he in/out of the ICU for a week?
