Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

[Froome]

Yeah, whatev...

No matter what, I don't see Pogi replying to Matteo's, let alone Simon's, attacks the way he did in 2022 with Roglic.

It was already considered a big mistake in 2022, but Pogi was 3 years younger and Rogla - arguably - still "could" have been seen as a pretty serious threat.
Cooking himself to follow Simon Yates would be just crazy: their pace isn't even supposed to be close; plus Yates isn't getting any younger either (at least Jorgenson is born in 1999, so you never know 100%).

This is just polit conversation by Vingegaard.

This is will be only between Vingegaard and Pogacar, mano a mano in the Tour and Vuelta.

Jorgenson, yates brothers, kuss, almeida, will be there, just to set the tempo and blown up the race.

Pogacar won't get sucked in like he did in 2022 on Granon. Jorgenson is still having nightmares of Pogi effortless going past him on Isola 2000 last year.

Galibier not Granon was where Pogi burnt all his matches.

Vingegaard was the strongest in 2022. He didn't lost because of that.

I'm not ready for Jonas to finish behind Pidcock at the Tour this year.

Well, that would require Team Q to get a Wild Card.

Not unlikely though, is it?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It is, and Pidcock's first words this season were that he himself had decided not to ride it.

haha, well... It would appear my statement was rather silly... (More so than intended).

 

[Netserk]

I guess he will finish 3rd-5th in the ITT with these legs?

The legs are looking better, he appears to have recovered the muscle mass during the winter.

Not as silly as talking about people sprinting for several hundred kilometres...

Just know that I am watching you, and if you make a similar mistake you will never hear the end of it.

 

[Froome]

If in PN he is getting worse or at the same level, then there could be some reason to be worried.

The plan is improving month after month until July.

The preparation has changed this year. Normally he does a 3 week altitude camp before the first race. It wasn't the case this year.

He focused during the winter on getting back the muscle mass, he looks good, there is more muscle in the thighs.

When I was thinking about Vingegaard, he may be taking a slower start. He is aiming for the Tour and La Vuelta after all.

What's more concerning is that the whole Visma teams looks...shaky.

 

[pelotonIQ]

They need another Roglic for that Co-leader tactic to work out ontop of Pogacar riding without two of his important domestiques that pulled out in that 2022 TdF.

Yeah, or another Pogi, but that is wishful thinking.

 

[Red Rick]

I mean Pogacar cannot drop a bunch of Bardiani riders, there is hope yet.

I am so ready for neither Vingegaard or Pogacar to podium to tour!!

Remco is injured, Roglic even more washed at this point noone is gonna podium the Tour 😅

Almeida’s time to prove his worth ala Faramir, Landa to be set free, and Jorgenson to try and win since LeMond.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Even a mediocre Jonas is enough to beat all these 2nd tier riders. He will probably destroy PN and Catalunya too.

It looks like his new TT hand position possibly did help him.

 

[tobydawq]

His first ever ProSeries wins. Career milestone unlocked.
