Pedestrian today. Only 30s ahead of Kuss and Hindley, after shouting from the rooftops he wanted to win the stage today.
In this form, the time trial can go horribly wrong.
Wanted to wait for the interview, kudos to Jonas refreshing and honest interview. That part I like about him.
Yes so far but ive just gone with what I saw, the eyes chico they never lies.
Before season started i suggested from biological reasons other have more to go on but lets see but that was more 2-3 years down the line than this year honestly. Personally also think his crash maybe altered his view on cycling and approach, speculation but if just 1%, matters if so. I wanne just make clear hes still jonas and second best. Still expect him to win if hes not getting sick crash would surprise even me alot if not.
Indeed. Mt Ventoux is more an outliner compared to the subpar performances from him and his standard all year now almost, for the most part anyway.I think this year Vingegaard is more prone to subpar performances, like Hautacam or TdF TT. He's not as consistently superb as in 2022-2023. Last year was different (due to the crash) but I would say he was relatively better then (considering his hampered preparation).
I don´t think Almeida would have been close to Vingegaard at the Tour.Yes so far but ive just gone with what I saw, the eyes chico they never lie.

Gerrans would never lose a sprint like that.Congratulations to Simon gerrens on keeping the red jersey

The Tour is taking its toll on Vingegaard. Almeida has been injured, but ironically, that has given him a chance to rest his legs. Besides, it seems like he started training a while ago. He recovered quickly from his injury.
Vingegaard on Tour version would have gained more time on Kuss and Hindley today.
Pidcock also dropped him two days ago. At the Tour, Pidcock wouldn't have droppe Vingegaard.
Despite what you say, Vingegaard would have gained more time on Kuss and Hindley in the Tour. He gained more time on Kuss on any mountain in the Tour.The best version of Vingegaard (like Ventoux or Peyreguades) would've distanced Almeida but keep in mind that even at the Tour he was inconsistent. The Tour may be taking its toll but it will be easier to sum up his performances when the race is over.
He's slightly better than the 2023 Vuelta IMO, and he just happened to not be on a great day on the most important MTF of the race.Pretty sure he is at a similar level as at the Vuelta two years ago.
Good but clearly a level below his Tour form. Like others said, irrespective of Almeida he is also putting limited time into the likes of Kuss and Hindley.
Going to be interesting if his form rises or dips in the third week. If he's subpar Almeida might not really need to put any more time into him on the road and just take it in the ITT.
Imagine complaining others are detached from reality while cycing W2W's bs algorithm as evidence.It appears that some people here are detached from reality so let me enlighten them a little bit.![]()
Jonas Vingegaard - Performance level, year-by-year analysis, watts estimations
The ultimate database of cycling performancewatts2win.eu
Vingegaard at this Vuelta is close to his TDF level. He literally did 2 of his best 10 career performances.
Valdezcaray - his 3rd best performance EVER
Angliru - his 7th best performance EVER
THE DATA NEVER LIES.
Maybe I'm detached from reality or maybe people underrate what Jonas did on Valdezcaray.Imagine complaining others are detached from reality while cycing W2W's bs algorithm as evidence.
I think Almeida looks stronger than those 2 but saying Tadej couldn't dominate him... I have a hard time believing Almeida would lose less than 2 minutes to Teddy on Hautacam. Or even less than a 1' on Peyragudes.At some point you guys need to realize that Almeida is not Lipowitz or Onley.
Even Tadej cannot dominate him the same way he dominates these guys.
