"I think it's going to be a very hard day, I'm looking forward to it" - Jonas Vingegaard ready for GC battle at the Critérium du Dauphiné
CyclingFriday, 09 June 2023 at 12:30
Jonas Vingegaard finished second in Wednesday's time trial to his compatriot Mikkel Bjerg, which raised some questions about his form at the Criterium du Dauphiné. However, all those doubts were dispelled when he destroyed all his rivals in the fifth stage in a second-class climb.
The Dane took advantage of an attack by Richard Carapaz to leave the rest of the favourites and, when he considered it appropriate, leave the Ecuadorian completely broken and go alone in search of the stage victory and the lead of the race. Today, in the run-up to a tough sixth stage, he commented the following:
"I'm very happy to wear yellow, I'm looking forward to today's stage, I think it's going to be a very hard day, I'm looking forward to it," admits the Jumbo-Visma leader. "I think it's probably going to be a very difficult day, we'll see if it ends with a break or not."

- i really do relate to your deep concerns about the perils of allowing dangerously manipulative discourse in a largely unchecked way. in the current social/political climate in the US you can FEEL that peril constantly if you’re paying any attention and you’re willing to actually think through it. really, man, i get it. the problem for me, though, is i can’t really find an example of a country that limits/controls/restrains speech via its institutions and institutional state apparatuses that i would actually prefer to live in. all the places i look at and think YUP, I MIGHT WANNA LIVE THERE are countries with levels of free speech that equal (some might argue they exceed) that of the united states. if it weren’t for the incessant cold i’d be totally up for living in denmark, norway or switzerland. i AM going to live at least half the year in portugal (having already bought a house there precisely because my mind is quieter and i feel more peaceful when i’m not in the US), and there are lots of other places that are on that list that all have protected speech to nearly absolute degree. conversely, i NEVER spend ANY time thinking “maybe i’ll take my wife and dogs and move to Belarus.” or russia, or china, or hungary, or central african republic, or yemen, or…” You get the idea. i’m well aware of my ignorance of so many of the world’s cultures, so if there’s somewhere out there that’s figured out how to LIMIT SPEECH and, by doing so, produce a more enlightened, more peaceful and compassionate and HAPPIER way of life for its citizens, then i’ll sell everything and move THERE (as long as there are nice places to pedal a bicycle and they have rideable surf and plenty of sun).OCexile02-01-2025
- He seems to be suggesting that never winning the Tour would be fine because (a) no one else will do the Olympics double that he did, and (b) that double is as good as anything anyone else will achieve. Mind games with self, I think.Renz02-01-2025
- How is it not a team just because they have a $50 million payroll? Ridiculous comment.mij02-01-2025
- How is it not ok??? That makes no sense. The Tour de France is the biggest sporting event in the world, and the top ride makes $6.0 million?? THAT makes no sense.mij02-01-2025

- You know what - part of me feels like it's a good thing: how many potential cycling greats did we miss out on because they (or their parents) chose a more lucrative sport (e.g. football, tennis, etc.)?Pogboom01-01-2025
