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.

I think this is spot on. What Vingegaard has taught sport scientists this year is you can't take short cuts to get into Tour de France winning shape - or at least not when you are trying to beat Tadej Pogačar. But it is scary to know that if not for Pogačar he might have won his third straight Tour.

He definitely went super deep to get 2nd at the Tour but now he is paying the price - again. First at the Tour like the Bonette / Isola stage when he admitted he wasn't as good and now today. But getting dropped like that today and a DNF is still quite a shock.

He is not thinking in the next season at all. He just spent a horrific time after his crash, first in a hospital bed, then in Spain and Tignes for more than a month. He spent little time in Danmark so now I suppose he is finally enjoying family time and he totally deserves it. I don't think he has been training at all and he definetly has been eating a lot of good food. When I saw his picture before the start of CSS, he is at least 3 kilos heavier.

Makes sense but I am still shocked if he put on 3kg. But after stage 19 in the Tour, Vingegaard broke down and was being consoled by Jorgenson. That was a clear sign of the mental pressure he has been under since his April crash. I suppose in hindsight it is no surprise anyone would want to relax a bit after what must have been three months of hell.

I gained a lot of respect for Vingegaard this season. I think we learn more about riders under adversity than when everything is going right for them.

Vingegaard is really dead at the moment. He needs to rest instead of going to Tour Pologne.

Yes. I never was a fan of Vingegaard before but after his efforts in the Tour I have huge respect for him.

Well, I have been absent of the forum these days following Vuelta a Burgos and San Sebastian classic.

It have been nice days enjoying cycling. I was able to talk a little bit with Landa at San Sebastian, He looks happy and he will go with no pressure to la Vuelta.

But, editing today the pictures I took to Jonas, lot of them, making zoom to their right arm...I realized he has a gun and a tiny knive tattoed.

I am quite surprising, becouse that maybe is no strange for a fishing worker...but Jonas look so nice person that it is like those tatooos are not for him. He was signing lot of autograpshs to childrens and he lookes another children. He has the face of an small boy, so for me to discover that has been amazing...I didnt realized there.

Any of his fans here knows the meaning? Thank you.

Froome is only guessing. The team is saying that a decision won't be made until after the baby has been born. However since we don't know when that is, Anders Lund might be selecting the national team for Worlds before that.

I doubt we’ll see him back into action this season, and definitely not with a worthwhile performance. Just let him be with his wife and kids, and focus on 2025.

Jonas will probably be changing diapers in September. He is a family man after all. He will be accumulating all the love he can get for the destruction he will unleash on the Peloton next year.

"In the coming weeks, the Nordic rider will focus on his family life and the arrival of his second child. The rest of his schedule remains on hold. If all goes well, he could take part in the Zurich World Championships (29 September) for the first time in his career, before the Italian classics, and in particular the Tour of Lombardy (12 October)."

I don't think a Portuguese website knows more than Maarten Wynants, but you made it sound like it was set in stone, which isn't the case.
