Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Mountain Sprinter

[Ripper]

Sometimes its funny to see the difference between online forums and reality.

I was standing at the route today, at the boulevard Anglais in Nice, in a spot that was packed with people.

The one rider in the peloton who got the loudest cheer from the crowd? Jonas Vingegaard

Yet people on here will probably keep claiming he has 'no fans' because all they know is the online world.

How would you rate the top 10 in terms of cheer factors? And how about Bardet?

Genuinely curious, as I was not there.

Great ride by vingegaard well fought, impressive fight and you see he has a champions hearth.

After Vinge I would say Bardet and Cavendish were the biggest cheers. Pogacar was also decent of course. Cort and G Thomas also very popular. Van Aert and Van der Poel in the top 10 too.

Congrats JV!
Great fight (in the race and back from injury).

Cool. My guess is there was likely no booing this year during the TT? Not the vibe for it.

I didnt see or hear any. Generally a very nice and positive atmosphere. A great experience.

Only downside was that the podium ceremony had very little room for the audience.

He didn't crack. He simply could not achieve a better peak and improve more from 2023 to 2024 like others top riders because of the injuries, especially the one who harmed the respiratory sistem.


Nevertheless, i really doubt some rider in this world, could achieve the shape he achieved 2 months after leaving the hospital, after 2 weeks in intensive care, pneumotorax, broken ribs and collarbone.

It's a shame, but it is what it is. The good news is this gap of 5 minutes can be easily closed with a good preparation next year, a better and healthy team without bad luck, simon yates, jorgenson, Kuss, van baarle, and with a better route for him if Colle delle Finestre and Granon return to the Tour.

so they say

I would like to see Vingo contest Worlds. Not sure if he's planning on doing so this year.

While he didn’t win and no one knows the disappointment from stage 15 and 19, Vingegaard left with a stage win beating Pogacar in a sprint and a strong second place. Next year his schedule could be interesting if he wants to try his hand at the Giro-Tour double. Maybe Tinkoff can finally get all the top riders to do the double like he wanted to.

Tour-Vuelta would make more sense for him next year.

How does Visma's plan for Kuss, Jorgenson and S Yates look next year? Is Yates being signed only as a domestique?

I think it would make sense to have Jorgenson leader in 1 GT and Vinge leader in the other 2 GTs. But of course Kuss and Yates might have GC ambitions too.

Mountain train probably. Maybe one of them (maybe kuss) will do the Giro, but also does the Tour.

Vingegaard, Kuss, Yates, Jorgenson, Van baarle, Benoot, campenaerts, Laporte.

It will be something like this.

With Kuss I suppose it comes down to how well he defends his Vuelta title this year?

I think Pog will do the Vuelta next year to complete his GT palmares. Best Jonas goes to the Giro. So they can face-off at the Tour.

I would bring another climber instead of Laporte.

But anyway really strong team!

Not sure he's built for that yet.

Depends on the baby.

So this was his season? No big goals coming up anymore?

He used his balls a couple of months ago, and will see the results in a couple of weeks. That's his goal.

You mean he lost them during the crash?

San Sebastian and Tour de Pologne and that would probably be the end of his season.

Remco thought so, but it turned out not to be the case.

I don't see the counter attack of Vingegaard as a showing of balls. Remco thought Vingegaard was losing momentum so Remco tried to gain time. Vingegaard was just stronger, just like he was the other 19 of 21 days.
