Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

[Oldman]

I felt it was a completely spontaneous attack by Visma and Jorgenson just confirmed it. Almeida said he was surprised by the attack. Congrats on a stage victory.

And to those that hate on Matteo they should know he could've done more if it had been necessary today. The whole JV team was on point. Give Trek some credit for trying it was Jonas' day.

There's only one who can follow when Jonas attacks. The rest has to do what they can all by themselves.

Great performance today, showed who is the best in this race, it is also the perfect response to Almeida’s complaints from the other day.

Regarding the discussions about whether he should ride Worlds or not, I think it is the right choice to skip it, since he is riding the Vuelta, and also because of the logistics.
However, had he not been riding the Vuelta, I think he should have gone to Worlds, because as others point out, with perfect prep he is probably the only one who can match Pogacar on these punchy climbs, as he has shown in the early days of the Tour the past three years.
Okay, so this is a longer race - doesn’t matter, Pogacar doesn’t wait to the final lap to attack anyway, then he risks Evenepoel and MvdP still being too strong. Can Vingegaard shut down 2 Pogacar attacks with 30-40 km to go, Skjelmose’s chance of winning increases exponentially.

Will Mathieu ride the worlds?

Will Mathieu ride the worlds?

I had heard he was not

Will Mathieu ride the worlds?

Sorry, was just assuming he would, seems it isn’t the case. My larger point still stands.
