Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

[RedheadDane]

My thoughts on him attending the WC kind of come back to the backlash he seemingly has had from the danish federation earlier this year.

Not sure what backlash you're talking about...

I think Lund is a bit mad at him for not doing anything with the national team.

Not like Denmark is short on riders who have been much better fits for the World/European Championships in recent years.
When Vingegaard expressed his interest in riding the Olympics, Lund - or maybe it was Bennekou - truthfully pointed out that the route doesn't really fit him that well, and there were only four spots available.

He tends to become worse after TdF anyways, and with his difficult prep for this year‘s TdF, he even more has difficulties to maintain his shape, I‘d think.

Now he rides Lombardia or finishes his season. Probably the first. I think he still has passion to race in 2024.

Nobody expected he‘d crash so heavily in Itzulia, and when I read pneumothorax I expected a massively worse outcome. Second at Tour and win in Pologne are great and show what fighter he is.

A more cynical person than I might get the thought that DCU are more thinking about their sponsorships value if they can replace Asgren or Bjerg on the poster with Jonas. Or that their sponsors are constantly asking "why no Jonas?"

My thoughts on him attending the WC kind of come back to the backlash he seemingly has had from the danish federation earlier this year. He claims he wants to be more involved and this would be an ok year for him to have a go. Next year would be better but doubt he is willing to travel for the WC.

yeah This year is decent enough for him, depending on the childbirth timing. He isn't missing out on the biggest results of his career. He throws a bone to the national team, media and fans.

His season is over. A shame but I can't blame him after his horrific crash

yeah. probably a good call all things considered.

 

[Boehmand]

Vingegaard only rides for himself, never for his country

 

[RedheadDane]

I had to mute the coverage of the Vuelta - putting sound on one of the other races - when they started boiling soup and that case again during the stage coverage.
After they'd already discussed it during the pre-stage studio.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Vingegaard would stand no chance on this route anyways. No problem at all

It's not like today's stage gives them a lot of other topics to discuss.

And lucky there were other races I could focus on.

You can still follow Vingegaard the horse in the 4:45 at York on Saturday.

true, even in his best years he would need to be highly motivated and really build a significant part of his season around that peak to have a decent shot at it.

Then again, it's hilly enough that Vingegaard would be an asset to any NT.

But yeah, after the Tour he has looked like getting race ready post crash really took a toll on him, so it's not a problem

 

[Berniece]

His fellow countrymen might, and he could play a role for them

 

[Froome]

Time to recover mentally and physically, including his previous muscle mass.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

The real reason he wants to win Tour de Pologne:

I've just seen the photo for the first time, love it! Vingo with some symbols of Polish mountains culture (ciupaga, czapka). Normally maybe I would've been there on muritos near Bukovina (I trek in Tatry mountains regularly) but I had a car trip towards the Arctic!

If it happens the Giro organizers will be happy but it will completely kill the race suspence, the way Teddy's participation did. Unless...both of them decide for the double!

I knew it! I really have a strange feeling about Vingegaard doing Giro-Tour next year. After seeing Pogacar be so good in the Tour, I know Vingegaard can win the Giro with one leg and be ready to challenge Pogacar in the Tour.

 

[Sybrand]

It would be great if Pogi and Vingo both do the Giro-Tour double. The Vuelta can wait another year for Pogi.

Vingegaard doing Giro-Tour
Pogacar Tour-Vuelta

Without crashes or illness, we already know the winners of the 3 GT's

We said the same last year, be careful

I said without crashes or illness. I'm not sure Pogacar would've won the TDF if Vingegaard had optimal preparation. It would've been much closer at least.

 

[CyclistAbi]

I don't know to be honest, Jonas having such freedom? IMHO for Visma is now all about the Tour and Jonas being their only option. So i will be surprised if he ends up doing a Giro. We'll see.
