Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

[theyoungest]

Great job by the concussion protocol by the way. Teammates saying he was barely lucid while continuing that stage.

Yeah, it was quite obvious. Dangerously stupid to let him continue.

He had seen Pogi's crash in SB...

Well Pogi didn't smash his head right into tarmac.

 

[Salvarani]

Well Pogi didn't smash his head right into tarmac.

Sure, he didnt.

 

[tobydawq]

He didn't ride Catalunya because he doesn't like to lose and knew he wouldn't be able to win after the crash. I like that honesty.

 

[Froome]

He had a concussion.

 

[E_F_]

Sure, he didnt.

He did a tuble in the grass... And was very lucky not to hurt his neck.

 

[Salvarani]

Lol, ok.

 

[tobydawq]

He had a concussion.

I know, but this was also said in the interview today with Frans Maassen.

And it was actually not meant as a criticism.

Do you mean yesterday's interview with feltet or a different one today?

 

[E_F_]

Lol, ok.

Ah ok then, Pogacar either won Strade Bianche with a concussion or has a special head, which doesn't get concussed. Makes sense!

Didn't you see the airbag?

What are you saying? He hit his head right on the tarmac in SB. Thank god for helmets. Didnt faze him though.

Well I guess I must have missed that, lmao. Honestly do think I was mixing JV's crash up with Skjelmose's tbf. We never saw JV crash, of course.

Maassen was interviewed by TV2 before today's stage.

 

[Netserk]

Maassen was interviewed by TV2 before today's stage.

Thanks, just saw it.

So you are thinking about changing his schedule. He was scheduled to ride this race and then a lot of altitude?

Yes, but after his crash, he couldn't train for one week. He could not prepare for this race in the best possible way. And then you could say maybe he could race, but then he has to also do battle against very strong riders, and he doesn't like to lose so much, so I think for the team and for him it was better to take no risk and start from this week on in training again.

You didn't miss it. He went down on his hip and then shoulder. Very little (if any) impact to the head and nothing like Skjelmoses head bouncing all over the place.

Angle from behind clearly shows his head bouncing down and up on the tarmac. It was at high speed as well.

Can't see anything, it's just some pixels. Did of course check several videos and made my own conclusions going frame by frame and hitting his head was absolutely the least of it.

His head hit the tarmac.

Absolutely inexcusable failure of the concussion protocol. I remember something similar happening with Chris Horner.

Horner got messed up, didn’t even know where he was or what he just did.

 

[Salvarani]

Could you say he felt a bit like a knucklehead?

It's possible he won't ride until Dauphine:

Jonas Vingegaard might not race again until Criterium du Dauphine says Visma DS: "He has to talk it over with his family"

He has to discuss any potential race addition with the family. This looks a bit weird.

That was the Feltet.dk interview that Froome linked to. Family discussion can only be about Itzulia or concerns regarding the concussion.
