I’m forever disappointed by the lack of Bo Hamburger in Jonas’s thread title, what with him being a) Danish, and b) edible.
There's "egg" in the word "vineggggard".I'm pretty sure there's nothing edible about the word "vingegaard"...
Surely his name is related to the English word "vineyard". That would make it quite edible (and potable).I'm pretty sure there's nothing edible about the word "vingegaard"...

How about ".. is the new alpha mutant" ?
Ah yes.. the Games and Fantasy Cycling. 🙂This is perfect but for another part of the forum.

I'm not an expert on the Danish language, but I would guess that etymologically Vingegaard probably doesn't mean "wing of a building-farm". Seems to me like it's a variant on the spelling of "vingaard", i.e. vineyard.7.6) (nu næppe br.) om del af bygning; dels om kirkes sideskib, dels om fløj (I.5) af bygning. mand kunde gaae af den Syndre Winge (paa domkirken i Hamar) ind i Capellet.

A wing of a building.
I can with absolute certainty rule that out.I'm not an expert on the Danish language, but I would guess that etymologically Vingegaard probably doesn't mean "wing of a building-farm". Seems to me like it's a variety on the spelling of "vingaard", i.e. vineyard.
"Today you show the world who's the strongest".He doesn't fish, he chops them up. Thomas today, Evenepoel yesterday.
Wing-farm. Family probably had a poultry farm. Think a title with chicken makes sense.
You're probably right about the MR reference. I'm not too bothered by the history of cycling, but some are.Or, they had some sort of connection to the actual 'Vingegaard' farm, near the village of Vinge.
The problem with a thread title with 'Chicken' in it, is that it leads the thoughts to MR, and that should be avoided!

Jonas, being Danish and being called Rasmussen (like half of the country) will probably always be compared to the Chicken. And it has to be said, he does remind me of him a bit, sometimes. I don't mean in the Clinic sense, but they're physically quite similar. Jonas in yellow does look a bit like MR in yellow.
I think he has quite deliberately not included the name in all of his official accounts and so on."Vingegaard, by far the better Rasmussen".
Though, it's worth noting that 'Rasmussen' doesn't even appear on his official UCI profile.

Why?I'm bothered by the fact that MR still has a role in cycling...
