I kind of like him, it will be interesting if he can back up what he did in the Tour last year to races this year. It reminds me a little of what TGH did in the Giro, hopefully it isn't a one off and can continue his progression to leadership.
He had already really good results in the spring last year before the tour, so I don´t think that he will become a 3-week wonder.
Is his schedule (apart from the tour de France) for this year already announced? Roglic, Dumoulin and van Aert already did it a few days ago, so it´s a bit strange that his schedule is still not announced.
The background to them being afraid to put pressure on him was I believe the tour of Pologne 2019 when he suddenly was unexpectedly in yellow and completely freaked out because he just had no clue about how to handle it and hence lost the jersey. Grisha said during TdF last year that they almost have to hold him back because he wants too much lol.
He really is the Jumbo baby and is treated like such in the team. It was really interesting to see how they discussed him in the team cars in the Plan B documentary and how he surprised everyone. There's also a really fun clip of him in the 2020 vuelta documentary talking back to the cars. I'm gonna link that one as well later. But here's the tdp win interview.

"Jonas we have so much work with you all the day".....
Jonas eventually answering "you also need something to do"
I find Jonas answer hilarious and also in other places in the documentary you can see they have to hold him back a bit because he really wanna go lol.

This I have forgotten about. How did it happen? Was the crash his own fault or was he just with lot of other riders?On the descent from Mont-Saxonnex.
It's hard to say how much he lost because of it or whether it affected him the next day(s) as well. It definitely wasn't the reason why he didn't win the race, nor was the fact that he had to wait for Roglic on stage 3. But it could possibly have created more suspense if he had been closer to Pogacar before the Ventoux stage. Perhaps JV had asked Van Aert to drop back then.
I might have mixed it up with another situation. The Beloki one.
No, I don't go around remembering stuff from 20ish years ago...

Still don't remember... but of course, there are people on this forum who remember if a stage was boring.
Anyway: Vingegaard might not be Chris Harper, but he certainly isn't Armstrong either!

I remember it as if it were yesterday!You're a wheel...
He got a bag or something tangled in his handlebar.
Hmm, I don't understand, you must have been quite old when it happened.
You don't have to feel so bad. I mean there are posters on here who can't remember which threads they've visited just a few hours later...
