Teams & Riders The Jonas Vingegaard is like Chris Harper, but with a lot more power thread

[VayaVayaVaya]

'the best climber in the world', not my words but that of pog - the best climber in the world.

He doesn’t believe that.

He doesn’t believe that.

really?

Say what?

 

[kingjr]

Say what?

"He's I think right now one of the strongest climbers in the world, probably the best." His words after the stage yesterday.

 

[HelloDolly]

Pogacar really think he himslef is the best climber in the world ...otherwise he would not be so nonchalant and super confident all the time

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Pog even said that Vinge is the man to beat. Its a psychlogical war - putting pressure on Vinge who is a shy and not confident guy.

However, the fact that Pog does it means that he really fears Vinge, who is in the best form of his life this summer. I do believe he can match Pog in the mountains (except cold days ofc) and threaten his leadership esp. on one of many hot days to come.

It might not be crazy to think of Jonas as the 2nd best GC rider in the world at this time (summer 2022). Roglic has proven more, but can he still be as strong as peak Roglic from 2020 and 2021? It's a moot point now (for this TDF), with Roglic's crash injuries.

A Freudian slip from Pog, quietly acknowledging he is not of this world

 

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

Pogi is full of praise for Jonas - which makes Pogi even more likeable…

Jonas in fact has an answer to every attack of Pogi. He seems even closer to Pogi than in 2021. If Pogi makes the slightest mistake during the three weeks of the Tour, Jonas will immediately drop him.

Armstrong vs Ullrich never was even close. Armstrong was much faster. Pogi vs Jonas reminds me of Contador vs Schleck: they are almost equal.

Glad that Primoz, Wout and Jonas will stay together at Jumbo until at least December 31, 2024. These three are a real dream team, have become friends and are strongest when they race together. Three super likeable sportsmen, three fighters, with great, positive attitude, and with great strength. This TdF, I only miss Rohan Dennis - they will be even better with him. Gladly, van Hooydonck seems to do a great job.

Good interview with Jonas.

Can't agree with that... Roglic is the strongest when he has a team by his side, that is fully committed to him and they don't have 187373 other goals. Give him the same team as last year for the Vuelta and he'll win it.

Poor guy doesn't have any action in his thread, after winning a tour stage and taking yellow. Let's show him some love!

 

[CyclistAbi]

Great performance today on stage 11. Taking the stage and yellow.

Let the best man win.

Strange that some of you need to tell yourself Roglic is the strongest, Vingegaard is shy, that he doesn't respond well in interviews and what not.

Today was a great win in a stage that will go down in history for being super exciting and very well executes by Jumbo Visma. If you don't line it at least respect it, because you cannot deny it unless you are a fool.

Like I said before in another thread, Roglic is not as good as Jonas at least in a 3 week GC and he never will be again. I think we can establish that fact looking at last year's TDF and this year's, so far.

But Roglic should get a lot of respect for laying himself flat down and give the captain's role to Jonas. And smashing in the door with his vicious attacks. Very big respect.

Today they gave us a cycling race one can only dream of in a GC. It was magnificent

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He always knew he had bigger fish to fry, maybe even a whale. Well done, Chris Harper!

I don't get the impression he is particularly well-liked in this forum, despite the overabundance of Danes on here.

Personally, I've never found him especially charismatic, but he does have a nice rags to riches stories.

 

[sir fly]

Yep... Pogačar starts feeling Vinegar at the altitude.

 

[Netserk]

Thread title: Jonas Vingegaard is the new Rasmussen.

Please!

Wholeheartedly agree, but unfortunately dont think thats the case. Some of the most extreme Roglic-fans on this forum mostly reminds me of the hardcore Alberto Contador-cult despite Roglic rode an absolutely magnificent race today and totally enabled Vingegaard.

In this shape, it would be a shame not to try to win on the Alpe. You never know, this might be his best chance ever (most likely), and to win on the Alpe as a climber in the maillot jaune is something you will have forever. But he needs to drop Pogi, and Pogi will stay hungry!

 

[CyclistAbi]

Healthy Jonas against injured Roglič. This will still have to be settled in the future. Healthy Jonas against (hopefully) healthy Pogačar. This is still to be determined.

Lets not forget TDF 2020.

 

[HelloDolly]

The boy sure can climb ....

Needs to put Pog to the sword tomorrow to get an advantage before the TT

 

[noob]

Lol I've been a Jonas fan since the first second I saw him (on Angliru) simply just because of his looks and because when it comes to cycling I tend to be Danish. (Or Slovenian, or Slovakian or Norweigian.)

 

[lemon cheese cake]

That was a good watch today. He looked so relaxed and calm while sitting behind Pog up the Galibier and first half of the Granon and then preceeded to look to be in more pain than Pog was following the attack.

Cort yesterday, Vingegaard today. Which dane is winning tomorrow?

 

[noob]

Here it is! The interview with the images of the day.

Notice that Wout is far more pumped up than Jonas that looks almost shocked.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Cort yesterday, Vingegaard today. Which dane is winning tomorrow?

I really want to make a pun here, but Dane-y van Poppel doesn't work at all.
