[Samu Cuenca]

Demi Vollering spend the night in Annecy, so I wouldn't mind it if he got a picture taken with her.

Remco and Roglic ain't.

Sent by the Sisterhood to preserve the bloodline?

Even if she weren't already engaged, she'd probably be too young for him anyway.

I'd drop Trine in a heartbeat for Demi.

 

[CyclistAbi]

No pictures in a while, that means Jonas it training hard and there goes the Tour.

 

[RedheadDane]

Not to mention the fact that he's a little bit married already...

So were Bjarne Riis in 1996 and Michael Rasmussen a decade later.

Jonas and Trine seem to be going quite strong.

I'm not accusing him of anything. I'm only saying that it hasn't stopped other people in the past, in these cases two guys he has a lot in common with.

 

[Gigs_98]

The fact that there is a woman sleeping in the same city as him is very good grounds for this discussion btw.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Guys lets not make it even more weird.

To be fair, Vollering's whereabouts are among the few confirmed facts that have been mentioned in the thread for a while.

 

[RedheadDane]

It's already weird!

 

[Valv.Piti]

Don't underestimate Danish climbers and their taste in younger women. You know what Im talking 'bout!

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Oh man, I'm almost starting missing Skeletor in races. It must be some variation of Stockholm syndrome.

 

[RedheadDane]

To be fair, he didn't even realise how young she was when they first met.
And she didn't realise how old he was, because of his babyface...

 

[Froome]

For some reason the last two Tours were considered great Tours for the spectators. He played a significant part on that. He is a offensive rider, and the one who had the guts to attack Pogacar on Tourmalet, 60 km from the finish line.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I think he's pretty conservative and calculating of nature honestly, but when he sees an opportunity and he thinks he most likely has the upper hand, he will try to deal the killing blow if its favours him. He's a smart rider and rides to his strengths. And he doesn't care if there's a descent afterwards or its the second last climb. That I really like about Jonas

 

[Netserk]

I wouldn't call him calculating or smart. When he feels good, he attacks. When the plan is to defend, he defends.

 

[Froome]

I wouldn't call him calculating or smart. When he feels good, he attacks. When the plan is to defend, he defends.

He knows how to defend himself better, but last year and this year, he attacked a lot when he didn't needed to do.

Nevertheless, he is improving his killer instinct, because when i look at the Tour 2022, i think he could had killed the race on peyragudes, when McNulty did a great job.

 

[Red Rick]

I wouldn't call him calculating or smart. When he feels good, he attacks. When the plan is to defend, he defends.

He seems very inflexible. Like he has no read on if Pogacar is good or bad. Pulling Tourmalet last year and then pulling on Cambasque made 0 sense.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Jonas pulling like that was very similar to Pog doing it on Galibier. They both thought they were just stronger, but turned out they werent. Vingegaard didn't get to pay a very steeo price for it like Pog

I do think he's prety smart though generally

 

[Netserk]

He seems very inflexible. Like he has no read on if Pogacar is good or bad. Pulling Tourmalet last year and then pulling on Cambasque made 0 sense.

But then on Bejes in the Vuelta he felt good and wanted to change the plan. I think his focus is inwards and what his DS tells him.

I think @noob will agree with you that he probably doesn't read others very well.
