Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

[RobertCrawley]

He's hard to actively dislike; although easy to be neutral about, I think. He seems to genuinely enjoy being around his family. That's something I can't always say! Of course, I have two teenagers.

That aside, I think he might be wise to play things close to the vest in the first week if he's feeling a good. A perfect situation would see Pog in yellow after Galibier (or even after Stage 1), so UAE has to control and use some energy. I think for sure Wout and maybe Laporte will have to ride themselves into shape.

It won't be easy for Jonas to play things close to the vest. This is a cracking start to the Tour. Like last year, the GC battle starts early.

Who's the leader of Ineos? They're bringing Bernal, G, and Pidders.

Vingegaard afslører voldsomme detaljer om sit styrt

Jonas Vingegaard understreger, at det er en sejr for ham at stille til start i Tour de France.

Like I said, if it’s bad he’ll get a chest tube to drain the fluid/air/both. Those things are a B***h and hurts more the better your lung gets and expands.

Jesus! Who is the baby?!

No no, it's "Jesus is the baby!".
Supernatural assistance is the solution.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

So will he, at some point.

Ah yes didn't see that one - but ofcourse, a Jonas era stretching that far ahead can easily be motivated by teenage issues

 

[SHAD0W93]

Got through the stage, survived the heat, came back from a mechanical, and Jorgenson put in work for WVA. Looking alright so far.

 

[Peyroteo94]

One thing I found interesting was seeing Matteo working for WVA. This probsbly means they are all in for Jonas

So Jorgenson isn't as protected as one would expect. Jonas is their main GC leader and Wout non-GC leader.

 

[Gigs_98]

Yeah he's gonna be good...

 

[Froome]

Still alive.

 

[Valv.Piti]

This was all I need to see. He's gonna be a problem for Pog, especially if these wannabee domestiques ride for a top-5 themselves

Big dogs were not in problem today. Tomorrow stage will be important to see his true race sharpness.

What did you expect? They he would not stay in a 30-50 riders group? Come on. The first test will be how he responds to the attacks of his main rivals: Pog, Rogla, Remco etc. So most likely tomorrow on the final steep and explosive climb. After stage 4 on Galibier we will have a much better picture though.

Honestly... the fact, that jorgenson is working on the flat is quiet telling.
i think he will be fine, even if he´ll loose some seconds tomorrow.
the only thread for pog bar incident and accident.

You are right regarding Jorgenson working - also JV taking Vingo to the Tour was telling IMO (they wouldn't do it if he was sh*tty). But we still have to wait and see how he fares when main rivals attack. Tomorrow this explosive climb is short and won't produce substantial gaps but if i.e. Pog/Rog/Remco get some gap over him they can increase it to the finish line. Galibier will be a better test though.

Yeah, pretty crazy that Jorgenson is more of a pure helper than Ayuso is.

 

[slim charles]

He looked the way you'd expect. Seemed to me at one point as though he was a bit uncomfortable but probably not tbh.

I still think he will feel the lack of preparation deeper in the race, I did not expect him to lose time today, nor do I think he'll lose a lot, if anything, tomorrow.

Edit: typo

 

[Peyroteo94]

Tomorrow I think he will lose time, something like 20 seconds more bonus seconds

 

[Froome]

Today they also thought/wanted him losing minutes.

Better than what happened to Gaudu.

No, they didn't. They know Sivakov can't drop even a 80% Jonas. If Jonas was dropped today, he should pack his bag and go back to Danmark.

 

[Valv.Piti]

So much for Rackham living in his dream world where Matteo Jorgenson was the captain. Turns out the injured Visma riders looks better than most expected.
