Jonas Vingegaard comes second in Arsinal despite "not having his very best day"
CyclingTuesday, 29 August 2023 at 02:30
Jonas Vingegaard missed out on the victory in Arinsal. The Dane had to bow down before Remco Evenepoel who was faster in the uphill sprint, but afterwards spoke about a lesser day.
"I didn't have my best day. That's part of it. You can't have the best possible legs day in and day out," the Tour de France winner opens up on his team's website. "Partly because of that, I can live with second place. As said, Remco is the deserved winner."
Because of his second place, Vingegaard is in fourth place in the general classification. His gap to Evenepoel is 31 seconds. "I think I got the most out of it for myself. In addition, we also showed our best side as a team today."

- The other commenters are exactly right - different eras. It does help that bikes now have lower gears without sacrificing higher ones. Merckx rode up mountain passes with a 5 speed cluster- and I doubt he had anything less than a 42x24. See how exhausted you'd be going up Mont Ventoux with that, lol.ScottG14-11-2024
- Times have changed, Bart Wellens, and it's only natural and makes total sense that riders like Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel's primary focus is on their road careers. It has absolutely nothing to do with doing a 'disservice' to the UCI.
