He should just have been Pogacar's shadow from the beginning of the race, so he wouldn't have had to copy Roglic's habit of crashing at stupid times. If he had kept his Harper identity, he could have won the whole race, because then no one would have been afraid of him.

After the Basque Contry, I doubt UAE and INEOS would have allowed that, but it would have been interesting to see how the possible Pog/Rog mindgames would have played out.

Is it just me or did he stop pedalling at the top of the climb instead of at the finish line which was a bit after? Not a big difference in terms of seconds but seemed like a rookie mistake.

Huge performance today, he is the real deal. I hope that he gets the Giro leadership next year. He would be one of the favourites for sure

He will be a GC force for a long time. A few years back some would say he's the future dominator but the standard set by those "white jerseys" (Pogacar, Bernal) is incredible.

Jonas has been quite popular in Slovenia in recent days ... of course still behind Sepp Kuss, who has already climbed "Triglav" and eaten "potica". ;)

Jonas Vingegaard

Briefly :

From the fish market to the best cyclists in the world ...

Zeeman: Primož helps him remotely. Jonas is like a younger brother to him. He sends messages and gives advice. (When Primož was last protective of another guy, that guy won the Tour next year ... just my comment :p ).

He was even a reserve for this year’s Tour de France and was given a spot on the Jumbo-Visma team following the resignation of Tom Dumoulin. When Roglič left Tour prematurely due to crash, he suddenly became the main weapon of the Dutch team.

Not to mention that he’s cool and likeable person and that he’s buddy with Pogačar ... that doesn’t hurt his popularity in these places either.

"Final ITT in the Tour? I have nuzzing to say. If I speak I'm in big trouble. I don't want to be in big trouble"

i think we can add Vingo to our future battles. exciting. and i would look there rather than bernal, unless they do away with TTs altogether (always a possibility with the current trend).

let's hope for a scorching hot (weather-wise) TDF next year!

and, meanwhile, Carapaz confirms that he is a GC candidate more in the style of Virenque, Chiappucci, Van Impe, Fuente, Herrera, etc... a rider who might win one (or two?) GTs if the route and/or the weakness of the competitors allow. But not one that can compete on a well-rounded course against double threats (TT and mountains) like Pog, Rog and now Vingo.

and that is the way it should be.
