"For now, I only have one goal: the hat-trick at the Tour" - Jonas Vingegaard says 'we'll see' about Olympic participation

Jonas Vingegaard will once again prioritise the Tour de France in his 2024 race calendar. Despite this though, the Danish superstar has refused to rule out sticking around in France for a little longer and competing at the Paris Olympic Games.
“It would be super nice,” Vingegaard says of a potential Olympic appearance in conversation with La Gazzetta dello Sport. "But for now, I only have one goal: the hat-trick at the Tour. Then we will see," says the 27-year-old cryptically.
Of the Tour de France, Vingegaard believes his quest for victory has been made considerably harder by the absence of his loyal domestique Wout van Aert. The Belgian has instead opted to debut at both the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a Espana instead during the 2024 season.
"Of the major stage races, I will only take part in the Tour de France. I will start in Spain with the O Gran Camiño, and instead of the Paris-Nice, I will participate in the Tirreno-Adriatico. Afterwards, Itzulia Basque Country. And the Tour, these are my four races on the program for the moment," Vingegaard says. "This year, on the Tour, we had less pressure than in 2022 because we had already won it. In 2024, it will be more difficult because Van Aert will not be there. But we will give the maximum."
"With me, there will be Kuss, Benoot, Laporte and Van Baarle... It will be difficult because opponents like Evenepoel and Pogacar will be there. And then Roglic. I will prepare as best as possible, especially on roads where I'm less comfortable. It'll be fun to see how I prepare for all that," concludes the reigning two-time back-to-back Maillot Jaune winner.

- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024

- Rowe spent his whole career on one team being nothing more than a thug for Skyneos. I have no idea why another team would want import this type of person into their program.Sweep26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
- well, del grosso is 21 right now. when mathieu was a year younger than that, he was already winning elite level world championships, not U23. i think del grosso will be a very good pro for years, but if he was really going to be the next van der poel someday, he’d already have to be at that level right NOW. van der poel was showing signs of true greatness when he was 15-16. THAT’S what generational talent looks like.OCexile25-12-2024
- Yeah.... gear 😅.mikolajjj24-12-2024
- It shouldn’t be about expectations in the first place should it? Besides, if you look at everyone’s calculations as a whole they don’t add up in the first place. There’ll be 2-3 riders with a 50% chance, a dozen with 10 or 20% and dozens more with a 5% so we’re expecting at least 2 if not 3 winners. Remind me again who won before her? Says it all about using data to decide on participation.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
