Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

[Peyroteo94]

OMG, I will just wait for June 29th and see his true level. Can't stand these fake news.

 

[Oldermanish]

Too many conflicting messages in this thread now. Should I be listening to Air Supply's All Out of Love, or Higher Love by Steve Winwood? Or Mr. Roboto? Or Land of Confusion? (I haven't listened to any new music since the mid 1980's, and I wasn't even alive then)

how about "Time has come Today" by Chambers Bros.?

That one's not from the 80's though. I did consider Jackie Wilson's (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher, which is also from 1967, but I went with Higher Love instead.

Jonas might probably be with Paul McCartney and someone is doing a great job at hiding it.

Stevie Winwood liked riding a bike, too. There's that...

But that record is not from the 1980's either.

I'll have to swap Gaye's tracks with Frida from ABBA's/Phil Collins' I Know There's Something Going On, sadly Modern Talking's Brother Louie is the only song that contains the word brother I can think of at the moment, Eye in the Sky by The Alan Parsons Project, We Are the World by all the stars, and then I hope I can get away with removing a letter from Whitney Houston's You Give Good Love for the last one.

Don’t worry, we’ve been told repeatedly he’ll be there and only has to be in 70% shape to win as it’s just the final week that’s important.

Honestly, i didn't saw anyone saying something like that.

Directly no, indirectly yes. A couple people have said Vingegaard was about 70-80% at the start of the Vuelta. You’ve been saying all he needs is to be in the Vuelta shape and he most likely wins.

I said he started the Vuelta 2023 at 95% of his best shape, and i said if he starts the Tour 2024 on that shape and he is able to improve in the first w weeks and peak in the last week where the Tour will be decided since it's backloaded, then he has a chance to win the Tour.

We already saw in the past a lot of GC riders who started grand tours a bit cooked and then peaked in the last week.


He can't start the Tour at 70%. Probably it would not even be enough to fight for stages. If he is not fit enough for the Tour, he should not be there, and instead focus on the Vuelta 2024.

Vinge must be more than 90 % to beat Poggi.

I never said you’re the one that had him at 70-80% even though the 95% is pretty generous. Maybe 95% at the final week. But to even enter the Tour at almost 100% is a tough ask unless they do some crazy things. Best bet is fighting for stages n whatever shape that is since he’s still better than most he’d fight in a breakaway.

I guess is the same news from the beginning of the week right?

He is doing one hour rides? Nah, he is not doing the Tour. At least I hope so, Remco lost a season because of the infamous 2021 Giro.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Vingegaard started the Vuelta after spending a month opening supermarkets and hugging babies in Denmark and by the end his climbing level on Angliru was better than anyone in the last 15 years at the very least. Would think he can win starting at 90% as long as they're optimistic he can improve throughout the race, the worry would be his lack of training base.

 

[Unchained]

I personally have worked hard to disregard much of what I know and learned about training, racing and race preparation. In my old data set I would think that injured racers would absolutely need race days to be ready for TDF or other important races. I believe that Vingegaard will be ready training outside the framework of regular stuff like the Giro.

Vingegaard is in Mallorca. He's back!
