Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

[Lorzenz08]

They have respect or even slight fear of Remco. One still cannot know for certain, but there is a possibility that Remco is even stronger than Vingegaard. So Remco would be strongest current GT GC rider, Vinge second, Pog and Rog third.

If Remco was feeling anywhere close to Vingo or Pogi level he would have done the TdF.

It's the third day. Jumbo don't give a sh*t about these stages.

They'll be 'dormant' of sorts until they active those mega watts & blow the field away. I'm getting old & I've seen this way too often now. Vingegaard will be amazing, just perhaps not in the first week.

I think Jumbo cannot be too happy about the GC after three (!) days: Vinge and Rog both are already more than 30 seconds behind Remco. And Remco probably will be at his best in week three.

But, what a race: we have Remco vs Vinge/Rog/Kuss/Kelderman, and it‘s close. Plus, all these other incredibly strong guys, like Ayuso.

Jumbo now really should start to gain time on Remco. But, good to see, Jumbo‘s whole team at this Vuelta is in great shape, again. There are strong like US Postal in this Vuelta, and also have been at Giro and Tour. This team - unbelievableably - really is currently better than UAE, and better than USPS ever was. And Jumbo here let a big budget team like Bahrain look like amateurs!…

Everything is as it should be. 18 stages is a long time, and what we learned about tjv this year is that they are a patient bunch. The only open question is 'win by how much'

That’s a pretty big assumption

I love Remco but he is nowhere near the level of peak Vingegaard.

You are kidding right?

 

[Andy schleck]

So now they fear Remco? Come on. I think it's Grischa's fault, he forgot his "show the world who's the strongest" password to activate Skeletor's 7 w/kg.

You are all to anxious with the skeletor. He doesn't fear anybody. The password "show the world who's the strongest" to activate the 7 w/kg will be done on tourmalet and angliru. Calm down guys, you need to be patient 😂

I won’t lie, I like Roglic more as a rider but wouldn’t mind at all if Vinge dominated the competition just to see the chaos.

I just noticed the beautiful title of this thread has been changed. I must protest!

I actually think the opposite - if Vingo went off the front with another GC rider in the tour do you think they’d be closing the gap for Pogacar? I think they were pretty obviously trying to get Roglic a stage win, believing they can deal with Remco later.

We had the thriller in Manilla, the rumble in the jungle and now ... El Pistolero versus Ma Vingegaard! Preparation? Biff! Pow! Ouch!
https://cyclinguptodate.com/cycling...d-with-more-guarantees-if-he-had-prepared-100
"However, for the rider from Pinta, having raced the Tour de France means that he has not been able to prepare as well for the Vuelta a España, something that could work against him in terms of preparation:

"If he had prepared exclusively for the Vuelta, would he have arrived with more guarantees? Sure, because he would have seen even the curves of the sprint stages," 'El Pistolero' continued. "He could have dedicated himself to watching the climbs, the time trials. But, this way, he will have seen some key points, but you don't prepare it with the same care as if you come exclusively for the Vuelta a España".

I await the full rebuttal from the Vingegaard family.

 

[Andy schleck]

Clearly, he is not in tour de france shape, but he is in good shape, and can win the vuelta. I hope he can get even better in the next weeks.
@Krzysztof_O, let's hope he builds until next week, to gricha not forgot to say the password 😂

 

[meat puppet]

I think he was about as "lagom" / casual about the stage in the post stage interview as possible, which made it quite ominous. Basically said the start was not easy and he is beginning to ride into form.

Reaching another peak or even quasi peak so quickly would defy all conventional expectations about doing GTs. So he probably pulls it off🙄

Same! @Samu Cuenca, you've gotten boring!

New thread name to be “The Cyclist Formally Known as Jonas Vingegaard”.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Yes, we need a long title like:“ Jonas Vingegaard Rasmussen is not the new Rasmussen because he didn‘t win in Cauterets“

Vuelta a España 2003 Stage 7 results

Michael Rasmussen is the winner of Vuelta a España 2003 Stage 7, before Félix Rafael Cárdenas and Manuel Beltrán. Isidro Nozal was leader in GC.

Jonas is good in this Vuelta. I think he doesn’t even have to win this Vuelta. All he needs is to go as hard as he can - he has to leave everything on the road.

He now has reached an age, and a training age (years as an athlete), where he‘ll benefit of riding two GTs in one season - he‘ll benefit from that in next year’s Tour. He cannot simulate that completely by solo training. After season break, he‘ll start his preparations for 2024 on a whole other level.

title need to stress he's from Hillerslev and likes courses with hills

170 cm and 80 kg is not what German Wikipedia would describe as being the perfect body for a climber.

Why is he fishing Geraint Thomas?

Why is he fishing Geraint Thomas?

Because he can.

 

[Netserk]

He doesn't fish, he chops them up. Thomas today, Evenepoel yesterday.

here's a super cool suggestion, yes that's a marvin gaye reference
