Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

[RedheadDane]

Trænede med Vingegaard i timevis: - Det kommer ikke til at ske i mit liv igen

Tre franske fyre fik sig en stor oplevelse, da de stødte ind i Jonas Vingegaard, der var i gang med at teste 12. etape i Tour de France.

Tour recon in the beginning of the week, Mallorca at the end of it. Sierra Nevada camp usually start next Monday, in 9 days.

Monday: Pau > Hautacam
Tuesday: Peyragudes (maybe also Superbagnères?)
Wednesday: Massif-Central (towards Mont-Dore)

Friday: Arrived on Mallorca with the family. I assume he'll train there alone until the altitude camp begins.

I'm going to ask, are we up to a point to blame his concussion in March if Pogacar beats him in the Tour (barring any other notable incidents) or the injury is considered not significant for his shape in July?

Depends.

No excuses.

No.

What gave you that impression?

What gave you that impression?

I didn't have any impression, I was just asking.
Cause obviously a crash disrupts his preparation and I was just wondering up to what point his shape in July can be/will be explained with his crash in PN.

Very different from last year.

Despite the concussion, this year he will not do the Tour with a deformed body like last year, where it was visible the amount of muscle mass he lost in his legs.

Besides that, the concussion was in March, he had time to recover and to do 2 altitude training camps plus racing Dauphiné.

In the end no excuses are needed, Rogla beating Jonas at the Tour 2025, rather normal outcome if you ask me. The same goes for Pogi. If somebody else beats them, then of course a list of explanation and excuses will be long, to cover up blunder.

Not a normal outcome at all. That would be quite an upset. Anything other than 1. Pogacar and 2. Vingegaard would be.

@theyoungest

So in such scenario you expect a long list of explanations and excuses? Or do you reckon Pogi and Jonas will simply admit they got beaten by Rogla?

 

[Pozzovivo]

Suddenly I wonder if Scandinavian riders spends more time with their kids on average. If it's not just Jonas. It's my assumption that Scandinavian men are at least slightly more involved with their kids than men on average. So maybe it goes for riders too.

Yes, been documented before (see oecd report: https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oe...hild-development_g17a221a/5k4dlw9w6czq-en.pdf).

Especially Danish fathers in fact compared to UK and Spanish: https://www.researchgate.net/public...study_of_Denmark_Spain_and_the_United_Kingdom

A lot's been made about not racing before Dauphine, but I hope much more that he races the Vuelta if the Tour goes without problems, win or no win.

 

[Valv.Piti]

If he doesn't race the Vuelta after the Tour, he's a thief. 90% chances he will do that race if he doesnt get injured or whatever, he doesn't care about one day races anyways
