I'll have some of whatever Jumbo are having. At one point we had the rare sight of the green jersey leading 5 Jumbos at the head of the yellow jersey group up the final climb. Then Vingegaard went completely nuclear. Not normal.
Who was the last Dane that wore MJ and was not caught? Pedersen in '86?
I agree.
But atleast unlike some other riders, Vingegaard have done well, even at a young age.. But obviously.. without enhancements, you would never see these numbers.

Just checking in. 
Okay, today (Stage 11, 2022 TDF) was a bit on the thermonuclear side. -- Have to see how the rest of this TDF plays out before conferring "not mortal" status on Jonas. To temper things a bit, today's stage winner was the runner-up in last year's TDF, so, not an "out of nowhere" jump in comparative performance.

In the perfect world, we see a much more open field and different winners each year.
But the performance today, was pretty nuclear indeed.

He is the successor of Riis and Rasmussen. The lineage of the mutants.

Yes, but his leap last year while not Dawg levels of "out of nowehere" is not exactly a good example for "natural progression".Just checking in.

About 6w/kg for 35min, last climb of the stage. Not half bad at that altitude and after having already traded punches on the telegraphe-galibier, I say:

Brisk efforts from WVA as well.

They need to give him a Bjarne haircut before the Hautacam stage to mess with his opponents head!

Liking the idea, but sadly wearing a helmet will not do justice to the cut. But hopefully he at least casually drops back to check the opponents form before attacking.
TJV overall today didnt spook me. See Roglic's weakness doing an effort on the final climb or Kuss and SK being somewhat limited in their contributions, or Covid hit Majka outlasting every TJV domestkque on the final climb. Suspicions about WVA and Vingegaard are understandable but the entire team didn't do anything spooky that I saw today given their apparent budget advantage. In the coming weeks we'll see them beat the opposition with their wallets.

Wout's performance this year is more believable because his climbing is not on the same level as 2020-21
The numbers don't seem nuclair, but it looked that way Maybe due to the heat and the complete standstill of some favorites.
Yes. A top end performance and definitely something to be sceptical about, but not something I'd call anywhere near conclusive.

Bahrain is nowhere to be seen in this edition, compared to last year where they were winning stages left and right. Maybe a raid on TJV next year can balance the field?

I had to reactivate my account just for this nonsense. WVA must be a contender for most alien mutant ever. And you can nearly see the juice through Jonas' concentration camp guise.
van hooydonck is now a mountain domestique
This team came prepared

Now a sprinter and a rouler dropping the likes of Uran, Latour, Barguil on a HC climb. Mutants would be an understatement
