Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

Then go there to wear the jersey, if nothing more.

He hasn't actually worn the KoM jersey in the TdF.

He hasn't actually worn the KoM jersey in the TdF.

He has on the podium. And maybe at home, too.

 

[Oldermanish]

He doesn't look that good honestly, I think he'll be dropped during stage 13-14

...and he could actually get better and into the GC routine. One things clear; Roglic is capable of pretty much anything right now and he'll support Kuss until that appears to be a losing strategy. Kuss himself showed the Tourmalet wasn't the biggest challenge, for him at least. Another 8 stages to go....

 

[RedheadDane]

Doesn't count.

 

[Andy schleck]

No, he needs to go to the Giro to get to win all the KOM jerseys.

He's got a lot of time to win the giro. He should try to win more tours, until he declines a bit. Then, he can go to the giro.

But now he's just as selfish as Van Aert, because he tried to dethrone Kuss.

By that logic, Kuss was also "selfish" when he should have stayed quiet in ayuso and Mas wheel's.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Doesn't count.

Sure it does. I also count it as a win for Txurruka that he got to wear the white jersey on the podium in Paris.

No it doesn't. Txurruka was a mannequin.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

No it doesn't. Txurruka was a mannequin.

Yeah, the guy was always good looking on the bike.

Watch the people who say this now switch to the Clinic thread. Either Vingegaard sucks or his performance stinks. There's no middle ground.

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm pretty sure he wasn't on his bike on the podium.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I'm pretty sure he wasn't on his bike on the podium.

He also looked good without it.

When people starts to hate somebody, it doesn't matter what he will do....they will continue to hate.

 

[The fridge in the blue trees]

Vingegaard looked completely exhausted at the finish though. Probably Jumbo riding for Kuss now. Today was to give Jonas his stage win, after Kuss and Roglic had theirs. Looked doubtful that he can do much more in the coming days somehow. Kuss unless he can't follow the tempo by Mas/Ayuso etc at some point. Roglic and if he can Vinge will stay with them, but for the rest looks like a procession to red for Kuss almost.

That's what I say every night. She never does though.

That's what I say every night. She never does though.

I should have specified it was his wife's voice

Yeah I was completely wrong , good for him though, interesting to see if he’ll go for the lead knowing the 3 JV riders are the best uphill and Kuss is leading

If consistent is boring, he wears it well.
In service of Kuss and the team, selfless job and maintaining a podium spot. Breakaway win, awesome. And as important as anything if Kuss cracks he is right there to take up the slack.. and double impressed the he and Jumbo decided that 2 GT races was doable at the highest level.. Impressive.

Don't worry, there's probably a half-uncle or distant cousin celebrating their birthday on the day of Angliru.

in regards to what, that he was glad that he managed to win on one of the biggest Tourmmalet stages in this Vuelta on his 3-year-old child's birthday.
they are pretty emotional when going deep, just as we saw today with Remco who was whining & crying his lungs out, and kudos for that.
nice to see they are human beings with emotions, and Vingegaard are not silent that his child and his wife are the most important factors in his life..
