Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Mountain Sprinter

[hfgon1]

He will ride San Sebastian tomorrow. Will be interesting to see how he is doing there.

Oh heck. Was he a late entry? I hadn’t seen it discussed before. Makes the race a lottle more interesting

 

[Rob5091]

Yep, Vingegaard doing San Sebastian. Now if Big Mads can only get him to the Worlds ...

San Sebastián and Tour de Pologne were the races he would definitely ride, according to an interview he did after the last stage in Nice.

 

[Squire]

And Carapaz has been taken off the startlist. Vingegaard's first big one-day race win incoming, surely.

Indeed he said it himself but PCS took him off the start list cause he wasnt on the provisional from the organization, but that provisional was just really outdated (from somewhere before the Tour).

With all the big name absentees this is set up for Jonas to win his first big one day race. He should be heavy favourite.

Agreed. I think the Tour came a little early for him. But he should be in great form for this and a big opportunity to win a big one day race.

My man is not looking good. Boy do I hope, he'll be better next year.

I take it as a good sign for him not ending his season in Poland.

 

[magliaroz]

We are not beating the July Monster allegations today...

As in, he's building back up for Worlds and Lombardia, rather than extending Tour shape?

Yes.

It's a one day race, far exceeding the 200 kilometer barrier. He just ain't build for that life.

 

[James M]

He is building up to maybe manage to get a top 10. He is just not good enough for it.

 

[Froome]

He is also, already building up for next year. He lost a lot of mass muscle. He had to go very deep in July ( very different from achieving top shape)to do a decent performance without fading, and now he is recovering and paying the price.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Realistically though, this World course is not a climber's race. I know it has a lot of elevation gain, but its an easier race than San Sebastian, Liege and Lombardia IMO. Its not a bad course for Jonas, but it doesn't really suit him and I cannot see how he stands any chance at all to win the race tbh.

 

[Netserk]

If he is going to the worlds its clearly as a dom which have been stated in the media by Skjelmose etc too.

Source?

"I hope that it will be me that we ride for (in Zurich ed.). I also hope that Jonas Vingegaard rides," 23-year-old Skjelmose says in conversation with Danish outlet Ekstra Bladet. "I think that it could make Denmark's medal chances much greater if we are both present''

He also mention co-captain and says greater chances with both which I agree on.

But point is expecting Vingegaard to win or even podium is kinda just wishful thinking based on any career results his entire career that is all, hardly a surprise he isnt good enough at it when he never has been good enough at it before that is all and funny that someone is actually surprised.

Can you quote the part that states that Vingegaard will go as a dom as you claimed?

 

[Netserk]

Is it hard to figure out for you? sorry cant help you then.

You explicitly claimed that Vingegaard going as a dom "have been stated in the media by Skjelmose". That's a factual claim that you have not provided any source for. I'm looking for a statement of Skjelmose stating that to the media.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Vingegaard isn't going to Zürich to be a dom for Skjelmose, thats nonsense, and thats not what was said either by Skjelmose either at all.

You think he will beat skjelmose? I sure not. And it was said during a interview before the OL he hoped he would have him as a helper in Zurich. Vingegaard never ever been top 10 and clearly not good enough for challenging for a podium there, he is not good enough for that.

 

[Valv.Piti]

No, because I don't think the race is hard enough for Jonas, but neither of these guys are more than top-10 shouts in my opinion anyways. And I haven't heard Skjelmose say that and I also very much doubt he has said that.

 

[Jagartrott]

He still has shown nothing in tough one-day races, so the Danish team should be built around someone who has.
