Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

Page 256 - Get up to date with the latest news, scores & standings from the Cycling News Community.
Pogacar is the best cyclist of all time (not greatest chill) he just is even if you support Vingegaard he is. Merckx wouldnt beat vingegaard or Wva, Pedersen or Mvdp in flandern you all know that.

But when saying Pogacar is that you cannot not say Vingegaard is also one of the best GT riders of all time the level is so high. Nothing but respect whoever you support be that Vingegaard or Pogacar heated discussions which im sure is going on (giro fatigue, injury of vingegaard etc im to busy with sunmmer haha) or whatever betwen fans which isnt relevant at all. At the end of the day when you see those two cross the line and shake hands thats whats its about and nothing but respect thats just what it is....and the reality of it is both are two legends we are incredible lucky to see for the levle is insane, make no mistake about it!

Its impossible not to respect Vingegaard he is big part of the equation why Pogacar is the best and Vingegaard himself when its all said and done very well can be the best GT rider of all time nothing is out of question there yet either theres still alot of story still to be written for him in that department (talking about levels not greatness just as with Pogacar in case people think im on something, its a huge difference betwen the two).

Anyway nothing but respect its impossible to not respect him and this brilliant ride, hats off!! Way to go Danish warrior

Or he missed a gel like it's been claimed. Because of that, I think it's too early to claim Vingegaard's the number one favourite when he's also still behind in GC and 10 stages remain. Vingegaard might suffer more from these efforts after his (assumed) less than optimal prep

OMG, give me a break with that excuses. I thought i was going to hear excuses like that, Pogacar thread, not here. Now, it was "the gel" and "mechanical" problems.

He still have 1 min and 14 s, no need to make excuses yet.
 
Congrats JV!

I was one of the people who didn't think that he would have enough time to recover from his injuries and get the form needed to battle at the front in the TdF. I'm glad that I was wrong! Maybe the laser focus required to get well and get fit helped?

For me is a similar situation than Contador when won that Vuelta after knee problems...Vingegaard had more serious injuries, he was long time on the hopsital, so it is more amazing, but they just started a little bit short of shape, but improving

I don't know about his argument, but I'm curious to hear it too

Foe what it's worth, the scientific community tends to think the opposite , ie that lung capacity in and for itself rarely is the key limiter of endurance performance. Cardiac output is the primary one and tissue capacity to utilise the delivered oxygen is a notable second. If this seems counterintuitive, just remember that blood returning from the working muscles to the heart will have some oxygen in it, even during max efforts.
