Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

[Berniece]

We'll see today his program. As I said before, I think he skips Giro to give him 100% chances for Tour. Makes perfect sense imo.

He is skipping the Giro. Grischa Niermann just said in the presentation that Yates has unfinished business in the Giro.

Where do you see the presentation? Yeah, it made perfect sense ever since Yates announced he is doing Giro-Tour.

I don't have a link to the presentation, only a live ticker in Dutch

Matteo is not doing the Giro too? Matteo and Yates would be a deadly duo.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Algarve and Catalunya are surprises, but I guess he wants to get race wins across all the Iberian coasts.

Nice 😊

2 or 3 against Pogacar, it's going to be great season

 

[Peyroteo94]

A shame he is not doing a classic, not even WC RR

That isn't decided/confirmed yet, because that's, at least officially, only up to him.

I don't believe after seeing Vuelta on his schedule

 

[Froome]

Good decision not going to the Tour of Basque Country.

Probably not officialy yet, but he will do fleche wallone or LBL on April, since there is a big gap between Catalunya and Dauphiné.

Tou/Vuelta is the right decision.

 

[Rockestar_33]

Matteo is not doing the Giro too? Matteo and Yates would be a deadly duo.

I'd expect Yates to get supported by Gloag, Kruijswijk and Kelderman in the Giro and then Yates, Kuss and Matteo supporting Jonas in the Tour.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

A full 2 months of family time after catalunya, topping up on love? Pogacar diesnt stand a chance in July

Yes, I guess that was the specific goal he had in mind during all the hard miles in Thy during his youth.

 

[tobydawq]

Well, he said in the press conference that he plans on doing Tour, Vuelta and Worlds...

Of course he won't.

Matteo wanted to lead the team in one GT this year so I expect him to ride the Giro with Yates.

 

[Berniece]

Why not? That's what Pogacar will be doing. That super compensation from a GT might help like it did for Evenepoel in 2022 (WC), 2024 (OG), and MVDP in 2023 (WC)

 

[Netserk]

Exciting new schedule, Tour is the only repeat from last year!

 

[AmRacer]

Jonas vs Primoz in Algarve and Catalunya

 

[KZD]

I am surprised to see Algarve on Vingegaard's schedule, I thought that he would start the season on Paris Nice.

It also seems that wants to win all the 7 major one week stage races, he already has 3 of them and with Paris Nice and Catalunya he should get to 5.

By riding both Tour and Vuelta he has also a good chance of winning one GT this season even if he jeoprdises his chances in the Worlds which were never many to begin with.

 

[Froome]

They really thought he was going to run from Pogacar.

If it wasn't for his crash last year, I think he'd ride Itzulia again this year.

It will be interesting to see Vingegaard and Pogacar face off in the Dauphiné. Let's see if either of them is able to keep their powder dry, or if they already destroy each other before the Tour even starts.
