Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 13: Cabezón de la Sal – L’Angliru (202.5k)

Vingegaard doesn't need to say much - especially if he has complaints. He has Trine to do the dirty work via the media. It's good cop/bad cop stuff.

But seriously the talk of Vingegaard gifting Angliru is just not it. He was on the limit and just hanging on. I know some of his fans have a hard time believing that but he's a professional. Almeida was just stronger yesterday.

Lmao, thats true to a certain extent. But honestly I think what Trine said was more of a rogue act than anything Vingegaard 'ordered' her to say. In fact Im quite confident thats the case. They might have talked about it, and Jonas might agree with some of it, but I think her comments was mostly Trine being fed up with Visma (like many Danes are, for some strange reason) and having no clue about professional cycling.

And I have no clue why someone would suggest Jonas was gifting anything. I have seen these comments on Danish social media, but its quite obvious he didn't, of course, and he said so himself as well. He'd like to win, but couldn't, and for whatever reason, didn't really try. I don't know why, but watching Jonas closely for 5 years now, when he's on the limit, he has thing thing of just being content by following and thats that.

Grinning???...he looked maniacal like a giant Chucky on a bike
No one wanted him to win as everyone knew a 42 year old does not climb that climb , never sitting down, better than Purito, Bala and Nibali, on bread and water

That's why it is my "worst", while is also the best-preserved

Journalist: How did you choose the bike for this TT? [Peyreguades]
Roglic: I rode what they gave me.

And he was honest, remember that time and the expression on his face when he realised the front gear they gave him on a TT bike? Still did good, though, a couple of minutes after.

@Valv.Piti

So, was Jonas honest in everything he said at lets say Vuelta 23? Note that i don't blame him if he wasn't. It's just that you started with this debate presenting Jonas as some kind of saint, on when it comes to dealing with media and confessing everything honestly, like talking to a priest i guess. Right.
