Funny part is before the stage i liked vingegaard...

Strange thing to lie about. You've been trash talking him all race

 

[Cassirer]

Funny part is before the stage i liked vingegaard. I liked all top 4 and whoever won of them would be nice but im sorry for me that was impossible to watch nothing against the guy but for my taste thats just not it
Nothing else than that.

Edit: If he would just go when he had Jorgenson with him 2v1 with 14-15km to go? and put on a show and time i mind you too rest it would be epic to watch thats it for me, even if he was empty letting jorgenson pull and gain time in GC and be a bigger threat and also tiring Pogacar more cause he would go if Jorgenson only participated that too would be epic to watch and would make alot of sense too I think. Its nothing else than that for me, not personal. Just my taste that there was not it, it was hard to watch for me nothing else, not personal at all.

Mate, its been explained to you about 47 times in the race thread. Finding it boring and frustrating is understandable especially as a pog fan, but maybe calm down and read a bit before the next 50 postings with same content.

Vingegaard did what he had to do today. Taking turns with Pogacar and Evenepoel would have been madness. Besides, Vingegaard is a much more aggressive rider than he gets credit for, this is just not his terrain. Wait until the mountains and he will be the one attacking and Pogacar the one riding defensively.

 

[Miss Violet Smith]

Considering the circumstances, I think VLAB has every reason to be hapoy with their TdF so far.

Now, I'm really interested to see who gets the most recovery out of the rest days this year. My money is on Vingegaard!

 

[Netserk]

With the gap not being bigger than it is, I think he will stay on the wheel of Pogi in the Pyrenees. Wait him out.

Smart racing, but my God is he boring.

Vingegaard is playing sweeper on Greece 2004.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Even on holidays he probably looks over his shoulder if Pogačar is there.

Why would he look over his shoulder if he can always see him right in front of himself.

We got it know, you think Vinge is boring. It's fine, you want him to be more entertaining, take more risks.
I want a great battle in the 3rd week and think it is necessary for Vinge to ride smart to actually have a chance against Pog. especially when his preperation hasn't been optimal. Sure, it might be boring sometimes, but I take it if we get some real drama in the high mountains.

 

[Lequack]

Wherever you go, there he is

 

[Netserk]

Smart racing, but my God is he boring.

Today, sure.

But generally? Do you think he was boring in the Tour last year?

 

[Blobs]

He's a 58 kg climber, and one of the 2 most attacking riders in the peloton, as soon as there are mountains, but he rode defensively on the gravel, so he's boring.

I don't remember a single gravel attack from notoriously boring Pantani either.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Remco will look to do everything to not help no-balls-Jonas now

 

[tobydawq]

Perhaos not, but I think it's boring how he eschews classics and one-day racing in general when he evidently would be competitive. I also find it boring how he always has a boring opinion on everything (the gravel race should not be in the Tour, good decision to cancel GC times on Montjüic, genius solution to move the finish line forward on Collado de la Cruz) and how he cannot function without a team (or at least seems to think so) in a stage like today.

His not being boring last year must be down to the plan of the team so I wouldn't give him too much credit on that.

So when he is boring because of his team's plan, you also don't hold that (too much) against him?

In other words: Nothing has changed

Why wouldn't I? Not being able to take a decision yourself seems boring too.

If you stack the deck, it's easy to find him boring.

I don't remember a single gravel attack from notoriously boring Pantani either.

I also don‘t remember Coppi doing any BMX stunts and neither do I remember when anybody asked Vingegaard to attack today.

Let's see who will have the balls in the last week and who is afraid of who.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Actually really surprising how many post race interviews I have seen with him this Tour, usually that time of the day is his daily "Trine-time"

 

[tobydawq]

If you stack the deck, it's easy to find him boring.

And if you ignore all the other reasons I outlaid, it's easy to miss my conclusion.

 

[Gwbert]

Well one thing is for sure the Tour would be a lot more boring without him!
