Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

[ice&fire]

Rolling Stones will need a new frontman soon, so not all hope is lost for him.

Frontman position is already reserved for Rigo. Jonas will take the drum seat instead.

Is the chicken really the best choice, though? Said that when looking at the image. Jagger does assemble van Aert a bit on this picture. When was it taken? Stage 18?

I loved the old title, it showed so well his meteoric rise now that he's winning and there was some real fun in that comparison.

Which one?

Which one?

Ye olde Vingegaard professions.

His "profession" as Chris Harper?

professions as in teachings.

There has been so many thread titles, I've lost count.

...

I don't think Vinge is marketable outside of Denmark. J-V better hope Roglič is not done yet.

I hope this question doesn't turn out to be too ingorant - but shouldn't Danes be more "marketable" in Netherlands/Belgium than Slovenians? I mean considering they are all from the north and all?

Personally i don't understand on how we got from fish to chicken.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Are there Jumbo markets in Denmark?

Same.

Unless they manage to put him on the backfoot again, which now all teams have witnessed is the way to beat him.

Other than that, i agree. Pogacar's been foolishly wasting energy all Tour long. A mistake he might not make again. Whether anyone can outclimb him in other conditions remains to be seen.

And this shall make for potentially great years ahead.

Not yet.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Just have to hand out another compliment for the thread title, truly a masterpiece.

The only other conditions will be the Tour with him riding smartly. Even so, this year I have the sense that Vingo was simply better.

Rasmussen was a MUCH more interesting rider and personality than Vingegaard. (Same for Riis BTW)

Vingegaard's attack on the Granon was great but other than that.... there isn't much to like about him. Imagine being the best climber since the 90s but sucking wheels like Leipheimer.

He didn't attack a visibly tired Pogačar once in the Pyrenees. Van Aert had to ride him off his wheel.

Yeah I'm sure Jumbo Visma are kicking themselves about the current situation, what a tragedy

Congratulations for winning the Tour 2022. A job well done.

Not by much, I'd guess. Danish culture is indeed more similar to them, or rather less dissimilar, but there's hardly any interaction between the 2 regions. So personality becomes a way bigger factor.

Huge plus one on that. Brilliant.

 

[Lequack]

Will he do a mic drop in Paris?

 

[SarahtheDane]

I have a feeling he might propose

I'm curious; do you still see Pog as a rare historical genius, like you did two weeks ago, or did this Tour change that? You seemed to think he was untouchable, but he seemed to bring the same level of the last two years, but was beaten by a (possibly? I'm not 100% sure) stronger guy.

"Vingegaard!"
When asked who would take the final decision.

I get what your saying, and I understood Ritters question the same way. But I think it might be a situationen where understanding of the hosts primary language(mental translation) makes the question more clear, then for someone not being danish.

It wasn't Ritter who was asking. And she - the co-host, who is not Ritter - asked the question in English, since she was asking Roglic.
Of course, it was a bit hard to hear exactly what was being said; people were a bit loud.
