He did. He was cooked after pog sitting on the whole climb7 seconds was a big gap to suddenly open up in the finish. We know Pog has a good sprint but did Jonas sit up?

In his post-race itv, Jonas said he wouldn't have been able to contest the sprint because he was going all out.I don't think he even had time to sit up, Pogacars acceleration was just huge, made that gap in 5 seconds. Vingegaard also doesn't look like he's slowing down and they are really close to the finish.
I expect Jonas to go for the Giro/Vuelta double in 2025. He would like to win all three GT's and now is the time to try it.
Crack? I havent seen him crack.Very proud of him. He is cracking during the third week but what a hell of performance he delivered despite his injuries. He is tough man!! I think Pogacar had a fuel problem in stage 11 but Vingegaard is so resilient and mental strong that he can comeback from death. Such a beast!
He didn't crack. He simply could not achieve a better peak and improve more from 2023 to 2024 like others top riders because of the injuries, especially the one who harmed the respiratory sistem.Very proud of him.

Nevertheless, i really doubt some rider in this world, could achieve the shape he achieved 2 months after leaving the hospital, after 2 weeks in intensive care, pneumotorax, broken ribs and collarbone.
It's a shame, but it is what it is. The good news is this gap of 5 minutes can be easily closed with a good preparation next year, a better and healthy team without bad luck, simon yates, jorgenson, Kuss, van baarle, and with a better route for him if Colle delle Finestre and Granon return to the Tour.
2022 route was much better for him than this year.This was probably the best route for him ever. This years route looked tailored for him.

Meh, I think 2022 was better for Jonas and certainly a better route in general. But route rarely matters unless its something alá 2012 - the strongest rider will prevailDisagree. This years route was almost criminal so much it looked like it was designed for him.

There wasn't that much mountain stages as there was in previous years.Disagree. This years route was almost criminal so much it looked like it was designed for him.
There wasn't that much mountain stages as there was in previous years.
Besides that, mountain finishes like isola 2000 and Couillolle with average gradients of 7% doesn't suit him that much as more steep gradients like Granon, alpe d'huez, ventoux.
Nevertheless, with his current shape and the improvement of Pogacar this year, he wouldn't win this year with any type of route.
I would be shocked if Vingegaard skips the Tour next year.
Dude, why are you like this?gotte be the most delusional thing ive read todayThe coping mechanisms is activated i see.
He is not popular in general terms if you compare to the top riders what are you saying. In fact he is not even the most popular on his own team thats just real talk sorry to burst your bubble.![]()
How would you rate the top 10 in terms of cheer factors? And how about Bardet?Sometimes its funny to see the difference between online forums and reality.
I was standing at the route today, at the boulevard Anglais in Nice, in a spot that was packed with people.
The one rider in the peloton who got the loudest cheer from the crowd? Jonas Vingegaard
Yet people on here will probably keep claiming he has 'no fans' because all they know is the online world.
Great ride by vingegaard well fought, impressive fight and you see he has a champions hearth.
Always nice with a fireplace!
