Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

[Rou]

It would be crazy if Jonas dismantles both slovenians in different races this year. It would put Pogacar back in depression mode like in 2023.

Exciting new schedule, Tour is the only repeat from last year!

And Dauphiné? He was scheduled to do Dauphiné if I'm not wrong.

I'm talking of races he rode last year. The Vuelta was also planned.

No, it wasn't. He was waiting his son to born.

 

[Netserk]

No. He said in the recent interview that his schedule was unaffected by that. Just like in 2020 when he rode the Vuelta.

on an Italian forum ppl are blaming Vingo for not trying to win Fleche, Liege, Lombardia, or the Giro.
the guy didn't even know what color the leader jersey of the race he was racing was (Tirreno) I bet he can't name all the 5 monuments, I think he hasn't even watched some races on tv.
he does not care about the prestige of Fleche or Lombardia. he sticks to the program and is in his own world. he probably learnt the TDF is in July cause he saw the date at the airport while flying home after racing it.
and I like it. I like his way.

 

[Froome]

Weren't you who said Pogacar showed Giro-Tour double is feasible so If Vingegaard decided to race the Giro, it would not be because he is running away from Pogacar?

Feasible in a certain conditions, not the case this year.

People want him to be Pogacar. Pogi will always be more popular, he's more easy going, he has created this happy-go-lucky persona that the media and fans love. Vingegaard doesn't care about all that stuff, he just keeps plugging along. I like that, some people think he's boring, I also get that. But to keep demanding him to be someone he's not is disrespectful. IMHO.

Training ride with Jonas

Seems like such a pleasant and quiet ride, until I remember it's Vingo and I couldn't possibly ever keep up with him!

 

[theyoungest]

Once again zero one day races, this guy just lacks what Remco told everyone during the Tour..Anyway whatever its obv why, but cant blame him to much, most likely wouldnt be to 5 but would still be nice to take it on.

Remco just wants to be part of the cool kids club with Pogacar. It's not a lack of cojones to not do races that don't suit you. It's simply smart. To accuse him of a lack of guts in last year's Tour is especially ridiculous, the guy was barely fit to race let alone do any attacking. He was basically holding on for dear life.

 

[pastronef]

Maybe it gave some of that vibes during the Tour but whatever i didnt mean it seriously.
Let me just clarify I wanted him to do some one day races like many and that he dares to take em on, I certaintly dont believe he lack cojones, on the contrary.

I also said its nothing wrong with doing whats best for him(suit him the most in reality). Anyway overall as expected for everyone I think, I personally really hope he at least goes to the WC and prove many wrong, he has nothing to lose and can only gain respect from it, imo. Same goes for Vuelta, want him as other top riders in as many races as possible.

the fact is he does not care, does not want respect, does not see the sport as we do. he sticks to a plan and gets his tunnel-vision and rides on.

 

[Netserk]

The Paris-Nice route suits him better, 1-2 is likely with Jorgenson against merely Almeida.

Matteo will ride Tirreno

Sure? I really doubt that.

Why do you doubt it? Wouldn't it make sense to give him his own shot?

No, Jorgenson will also ride Paris-Nice.

No he isn’t.

Jorgenson will ride Paris—Nice together with Vingegaard (Dauphiné too).

He released his schedule?

A rider who dominated Pais Vasco, won stage 11 of 2024 Tour, dropped everyone on Marie Blanque in 2023 Tour can definitely contend in Lombardia.

So he will not lead the team this year. Not in a single race. Wow! In my opinion a bad decision, he deserves leadership in some races

He can repeat in PN.

Vingegaard will be there. Do you really think he can lead there?

 

[Netserk]

I think he is likely to finish top-2, and with Vingegaard both orders are possible.

He can be on the podium but he will not have leadership. Vingegaard is the sole leader in every race he enters.

Had KelderGOAT managed to stay upright, Vingegaard would have finished 2nd in Pologne.

I think MJ will have a much better chance of winning another Belgian race.

 

[hayneplane]

Depends if Jorgensen gets ahead in the ITT and with bonus seconds. Potentially then could get a Dauphine 2022 situation where the rider behind does not attack his teammate. Subtle difference to that situation is that Jonas was the junior rider in the pecking order then.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Yet another rider disappoints with his choice of shoes.

Choice of color or the lace-up style?

I'm surprised at how hairy Vingo's legs are when he doesn't shave them, maybe he's a manly man after all.

 

[Netserk]

Latter.
