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

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

Tomorrow it's been 32 years since Kurt Cobain married Courtney Love, so perhaps he wants to commemorate that.
There's definitely a bit of a 90s grunge guy in him.

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.

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.

I was about to make a dark joke including a shotgun but I better not.
Weird connection to that event for me: his home was just off of my (and many Seattle cyclists’) favored training ride route, which I probably rode twice a week. For weeks after he killed himself there would be young folks wandering around alongside the road in that area, sometimes flagged me down asking if I knew which house was his. Was strange.

Genuinely happy to see Bernal back in this sort of shape. Getting beaten just by the double Tour de France winner in a race with a high quality field bodes well for the future.

Cepeda also quite good.
