Vinge's climbing legs look spectacular. Maybe his punch is a little bit weak, but when he settles into his own rythm, my god. He rode Roglic and Remco off his wheel just like that, and gained on Pog already on Puy Mary (To be fair to Pog, he probably had to slow down a bit after the attack.)
Today was a huge confidence booster for Vinge.
Now, his team has to step up so they can set up Vinge for an attack. Pog might go into defensive mode now.
Ineos will probably help Jumbo LAB a bit, they want to try to get C-rod on the podium.

It’s crazy how big a difference there seems to be in his personality, between the English and Danish interview.
The post race English one just seems kinda silly, where as the danish one where he opens up a bit about how he though he was going to die 3 months ago, and how relieved he is being back, and his thoughts being to damage control more then ever catching Pogacar.
I’m starting to get why is he liked in Denmark, but considered rather dull by others, it’s like it’s 2 different people sometimes.

On here at least, we are multiple Danes who also find him dull.

It appeared Jonas was not descending well, then today coming down the mountain he took a turn in front and pushed the pace.
It looks like he's almost all the way back.

We could also just go with this one. Make love your goal seems to fit his line of thinking.

Love and family > cycling got mentioned on the rest day, which was ominous.
Joking aside, the way he is riding is just wild and I don't understand any of it. Losing that large a chunk of prime training time due to injuries but being competitive is something else.
Surely the expectation still has to be implosion because of a lacking base. My brain refuses to give up on this thought. Wondering what kind of a form a normal prep would have produced.

I find this hard to believe......Surely week 3 will find him out; otherwise the alarms are going off. Not normal....

I don't know how different it actually was, in the sense that he was going to take time off after Itzulia anyway. I doubt he's going to injure himself every April from now on though.

So what's your counter arguments? Do you think Visma has used something that should be discussed in another subforum, that magically repairs lungs?
Are you a doctor, since you know what two and a half months of rehabilitation does to ones lungs?

Not talking about the injury. Just taking a couple weeks more off the bike to have mental rest. If it’s possible with the shorter period he’s doing it now. Even though they have got a strong (longer) program to have everyone 100% at the right time.

I don't know about his argument, but I'm curious to hear it too
Foe what it's worth, the scientific community tends to think the opposite , ie that lung capacity in and for itself rarely is the key limiter of endurance performance. Cardiac output is the primary one and tissue capacity to utilise the delivered oxygen is a notable second. If this seems counterintuitive, just remember that blood returning from the working muscles to the heart will have some oxygen in it, even during max efforts.

But if your lungs aren’t bringing in the needed oxygen amount your body will stop compensating and everything falls apart.

We will find out he’s been faking being poor on the descents when he says post stage he practiced stage 21 in his hospital bed.

He has said that Laporte and Van Aert have pushed him in descents during training, which has helped him regain confidence after the crash. After seeing the latter's crash today, maybe they haven't been the best coaches
