Of course. And he would have done exactly the same today if Roglic was still in this race.
He should just have been Pogacar's shadow from the beginning of the race, so he wouldn't have had to copy Roglic's habit of crashing at stupid times. If he had kept his Harper identity, he could have won the whole race, because then no one would have been afraid of him.
Have Roglic alive and Vingegaard in that big breakaway on stage 7 O
Its a fiiiiiiiiiiiirst
Seriously impressive riding, but not really surprised anymore. Hopefully he can win the stage tomorrow, but will be hard!
After the Basque Contry, I doubt UAE and INEOS would have allowed that, but it would have been interesting to see how the possible Pog/Rog mindgames would have played out.
He has a contract for 2022, but right now I think he will extend with Jumbo after the Tour.
He seems to be quite happy with them and vice versa.
He will be a GC force for a long time. A few years back some would say he's the future dominator but the standard set by those "white jerseys" (Pogacar, Bernal) is incredible.

For a mere mortal, Jonas had a great ride today on stage 18 of the Tour.
Jonas has been quite popular in Slovenia in recent days ... of course still behind Sepp Kuss, who has already climbed "Triglav" and eaten "potica". 
Jonas Vingegaard
Briefly :
From the fish market to the best cyclists in the world ...
Zeeman: Primož helps him remotely. Jonas is like a younger brother to him. He sends messages and gives advice. (When Primož was last protective of another guy, that guy won the Tour next year ... just my comment ).
He was even a reserve for this year’s Tour de France and was given a spot on the Jumbo-Visma team following the resignation of Tom Dumoulin. When Roglič left Tour prematurely due to crash, he suddenly became the main weapon of the Dutch team.
Not to mention that he’s cool and likeable person and that he’s buddy with Pogačar ... that doesn’t hurt his popularity in these places either.

He's not gonna make up almost six minutes on Pogacar. Not gonna happen.
Keep 2nd place, top 5 ITT, Van Aert wins?
Bravo ! Stupendous predictions.
Incredible Tour for Vingegaard. I knew he was good after seeing him in the Vuelta last, but THIS good?
Top 3 climber and top 3 time-trialer-- a recipe for great GC results. The revelation of the 2021 TDF (we already knew Pogi was great).
@Big Doopie in shambles that Pogacar wins the Tour after getting 8th in the TT. Yikes.

i think we can add Vingo to our future battles. exciting. and i would look there rather than bernal, unless they do away with TTs altogether (always a possibility with the current trend).
let's hope for a scorching hot (weather-wise) TDF next year!
and, meanwhile, Carapaz confirms that he is a GC candidate more in the style of Virenque, Chiappucci, Van Impe, Fuente, Herrera, etc... a rider who might win one (or two?) GTs if the route and/or the weakness of the competitors allow. But not one that can compete on a well-rounded course against double threats (TT and mountains) like Pog, Rog and now Vingo.
and that is the way it should be.

But Roglic, van Aert, Dumoulin, Kruijswijk, Kuss, Foss and T. Martin will already be the GC leaders for the Tour.
