Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

[Froome]

So maybe it was an older quote, I thought I found it in the recent link but it must've been from another one. Still, I have doubts regarding his Tour participation but I guess they will know more during training sessions in June and then they will decide: Tour or Vuelta.

It's not your fault. Some newspaper made an article a couple of days ago with old statements by Vingegaard coach from the beggining of the month.

There's a pretty good reason he went to Mallorca and not Tenerife or Sierra Nevada.

 

[Gwbert]

Who knows. What I do know though is that when Jumbo saying he wont attend unless 100%, its a load of bull, because there's no chance in hell he will make it to 100% in time. He might reach 85%-90%, and then it gets interesting in terms of if you think he will improve further throughout the race or the opposite.

Because Jonas at 85-90% can definitely win the Tour if he gets better throughout. There are question marks about all his rivals, crashes happen, Pogi can get sick etc. etc.

It should rather be: We don't send him to the Tour unless we think he has a realistic shot at the victory. All this other stuff is just PR-bull

I think i would enjoy a tour where Pogi goes all in at the start to bury Jonas, who is then all in on the final week trying to reverse a 2-4 min deficit and Roglic/Evenepoel just trying to keep up with it all.

If he were actually going to the Tour, he would be riding around in black clothes somewhere in Italy right now and getting spotted by Filippo Pozzato by accident.

Even so he will be in Tignes very soon, from what his coach said.

Do you think it's coincidence he changed his name ? I don't think so.
He is doing Rasmussen in disguise.

Avoiding Remco and Roglic?

No, changed his name because he's a shirt or something like that.

 

[Rackham]

He's riding around very public roads in Mallorca on the softest climbs getting photographed by everyone... at a time when Visma announced a new Danish sponsor will be on their jersey in the TdF as well.

I mean I don't want to sound cynical here because certainly the rider will be doing everything he can to get into shape (& that deserves total respect, obviously) but IMO there's quite a bit of public relations fluff going on with the Vingegaard situation.

It's just over 5 weeks until the TdF. The clock is ticking.

He can't climb yet. They need to teach him easier rides first.

He has you fooled. His body double steals all attention now, while Skeletor 2.0 gets build at an unknown location.

The goal is to get back into reasonable shape first. Then they will make precise plans. The Tour looks more like a PR stunt to me. Vuelta is more realistic. They probably won't announce his next goal until mid June.

He was spotted again on top of Col soller.

Is that really Jonas, though? Or are they just messing with us and this specific cafe has a cardboard photo of him?

This looks like some old photo of Jonas (probably AI generated) or simply a new model activated!

This is just a double of Jonas. The real Jonas is on area 51, updating is software to beat everyone in the Tour including doing a stomp on Roglic!

Much more likely, as i don't know on why would Jonas now all of the sudden become a party animal.

The double of original Jonas or the new updated one? As for that last remark, there we really started to go in sci-fi territory.

CyclingAbi absolutely peaking!

This thread is great, people making up the same dumb jokes and scenarios every day, a bit like the Remco thread.

No way that is Jonas.

 

[Tim Cahill]

New Jonas photo just dropped!!!

 

[Lequack]

I see Jonas is going for the bad boy image now with the rolled up sleeves.

Let me guess, you took your own photo and had put Jonas head on it? Otherwise i don't get it. Just today i have seen a similar attempt on where Remco has put Pogi head on his body.

Why not?
