O Gran Camiño 2024, Spain, February 22-25

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Uijtdebroeks already taking to his role as successor of Roglic, with his helmet all crooked on his head.

 

[RedheadDane]

TMI.

As I said yesterday, Vingegaard looks unwashed...

It's a basic human function. I'm not a robot...

I'd say all the riders look unwashed today.

Bernal should adapt and become a stage hunter, doubt he wins a meaningful GC race ever again.

And you concluded this based on what you saw?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Looking at the results, did Carlos Rodriguez just disappear off the face of the earth today?

 

[theyoungest]

Vingo incredibly strong, not entirely unexpected of course. Bernal, nice surprise. MOTM was Kelderman, did the chasing on the flat and was the last man on the climb. Visma have to use their riders a bit smarter, certainly their devo rider Tijmen Graat couldn't do much because he simply couldn't hold Kelderman's wheel.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

So Skeletor wins, surprise! It really looks like Bernal is back to a decent level! Good to see it, he's not done.

The boy is a southener, from the warm climates of Andalucia. He doesn't like the cold.

 

[Netserk]

Pure ciclismo.

Seems Jonas was married last year and is a tribute to his wife.
Solid display today, he seems to be where he should be, form-wise.

Tomorrow he'll have a great-uncle celebrating his birthday, I presume?

Tulett seemed affected by the weather. Uijtdebroeks was in a protected role.

It was revealed to me in a dream. Have you not seen Bernals latest performances?

Today was no different, dropped on a 6% 5km climb.

 

[JosefK]

Vingo stomp, as expected. Good race from the rest in very cold/wet conditions. Plenty of hypothermia to go around.

 

[GroupDK]

It doesn't take a Ph.D. to conclude it's usually his girlfriend/wife that is his big love here in life.
and fair enough..hopefully, you will find someone, so you can relate or maybe not. .

He was dropped by the best climber in the world. His level is just very good (also helped by the fact that he comes straight from Colombia, of course).

Tomorrow it's been 32 years since Kurt Cobain married Courtney Love, so perhaps he wants to commemorate that.

1000 days since Bernal's last victory.

 

[DNP-Old]

Could be. However, the Brennerautobahn is currently seeing some troubles due to heavy snowfall. Those poor people in Austria deserve to have a victory dedicated to them.

There's definitely a bit of a 90s grunge guy in him.

 

[RedheadDane]

I don't think he has both.
He's been pretty open about the fact that they've gotten married, he just hasn't been open about when it happened.

 

[pelotonIQ]

He was dropped by the best climber in the world. His level is just very good (also helped by the fact that he comes straight from Colombia, of course).

Despite being 'very good' coming from Colombian altitude he still got dropped on a baby climb. Jonas didn't even do his maximum on them.

Previous tributes were his to his girlfriend, today It was to his wife as the ring symbolized, so he clearly put a ring on it, also seems like he took her last surname "Hansen"
His wife Trine Hansen & his child Frida is everything to him and he often flip to tears when talking about them, - she was previously his boss (at one of the smaller semi-amateur teams) she is also quite a bit older than him, like more than a decade older but after extensive begging for a date, she agreed to go on a date with him.

No doubt that Jonas Vingegaard is a very introverted & shy type, and doesn't seem to crave the spotlight like other sport-athletes.( I kind of like that,, flamboyant attitudes are not my cup of tea)

I am not sure if he had a hard time in his own family (parents) as he is quite silent about them,- but working at the fish factory in Glyngore.. they likely didn't have a lot of money, and tripping around to cycling events ain't cheap.
They are a cute couple

What did you expect? I agree there may be a little overreaction by the fans, when all he did was wheelsuck and as soon as he had to ride solo he waited for someone to help him, but his level is encouraging.

 

[Lequack]

Time for Vinge to show these amateurs what it means to ride a bike.

And he did show them. He made short work of these lesser riders.
I think TDF win number 3 is all but assured now.
