Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

[Froome]

But as a GC contender: do you want two guys in your team that went full gas 4 weeks earlier? And Van Aert already raced spring races.

WVA will be the 7th guy in the Tour. He will be working soon like campenaerts. He will be fine for that job.

 

[AupaPyama]

I dont think you can compare Yates and Van Aert with Pogacar .
In the past we have seen lots of teams with 3 or more riders doubling, not doing great. Just reminder this post in the Tour when Yates, Yates and Van Aert are bad.

What really matters is how kuss and Jorgenson will be.

Yates and WVA will be fine for the job they will be needed to do.

What matters is the pace Jorgenson and Kuss will be able to do, before Vingegaard launches his attack.

 

[Sciatic]

Wout is building his form and will be even stronger in the Tour. We saw in last year's Tour he was average and was stronger in the Vuelta.

Yup, he also took some “days off” during the past 2 weeks. He will be a big asset in Tour.

I will not be surprised if Jonas does the TT in Peyragude on a road bike with TT handlebars. Expect some insanity on that stage.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Soft pacing in first gear and then an amateur cyclists catches Jonas and brings nutrition. C'mon Jonas.

The guy riding and filming is so proud of himself but little does he realize that's a body double substitute pretending to train in full kit, not the real Vinge. Yeah, Visma uses the same method Saddam Hussein used to employ when meeting the plebs.

The real Vingegaard meanwhile is in top secret facility right now and the world isn't ready for what's coming.

It seems to be the same skinny ass, though, the one that most cyclist see in the sunset. And besides whenever they use cardboard Jonas, they usually go with the frontal posture. Unless it's AI? IMHO what gives it away is it's way too slow for real Jonas.

AI Tour champions would be one hell of a future.

I joke (or maybe not?) but seriously these guys riding alongside the most famous pros for 20 minutes just to get clicks on youtube are really desperate. I mean we get it. That's Jonas Vingegaard training! Woohoo. What a sight to behold.

If you will look at the video, it's actually a commercial for nutrition. Likely Jonas didn't get paid much for it and he invested the same amount of effort into it.

8% is too much for handlebars. The unconfortable position (not easy to climb a mountain in a TT position) plus the extra weight is too much IMHO.

I dont doubt Jorgenson will be very strong. Kuss is more of an enigma.

And this new Vingegaard is constantly training in a vest without socks either. Like he's solar powered or something. I guess his rivals need to pray for a rainy, cloudy TdF.

Ready to get that Cipo tan!

He's pretty hardcore. He's torn off the sleeves on his jersey.

Nothing says bad boy image more than a guy who rips off his own shirt sleeves.

There should be a fine for that. Or a yellow card.

I don't know what's going on with this guy. Maybe version 2025 was produced with altered behavior parameters?

They just removed his limiter.

The way I read it, in Danish, I thought he was simply saying that he feels better than last year.
And, uhm... I would hope so...

It's a quote from this clip, where he just says that he feels like a completely different person compared to the Tour last year. Nothing too spectacular.

It would be better, heart throb beating: I'll be back.

Said to hell with the UCI sock rules.

On a serious note, I wonder how this will help or hinder his heat resistance.
