Jonas Vingegaard was simply on another level to everyone else at the Tour de France, on the stage 16 individual time-trial, as the Dane blew the field away in taking a dominant victory. One man who was certainly impressed was Lance Armstrong.
"I'm kind of speechless," the disgraced American said with a shake of the head on his podcast The Move after the conclusion to the time-trial. “What Jonas has done is so exceptional. And nobody really saw it coming: I myself have been bullish about Tadej Pogacar's chances in recent days. This time-trial should suit him completely. But I'm only too happy to be wrong about this sort of thing."
"Vingegaard took more than a minute and a half. That means he drove 2.5 kilometres per hour faster, which is more than five percent faster," continues Armstrong in growing awe. "And then we are talking about the toughest race in the world, with all super-trained athletes. From a technical perspective, it was perfect."
Armstrong's podcast partner, Johan Bruyneel was also similarly impressed. "Vingegaard was on a different level. He himself said that he was so surprised and that it was the best time trial of his life. You saw that Vingegaard was ready for the war, in everything. I didn't have that feeling with Pogacar: he didn't radiate much aggression."
"We saw Pogacar jumping into the pool on the rest day and laughing with everyone, but at the same time we saw little or nothing of Vingegaard," Bruyneel concludes. "Something tells me that Pogacar was not doing his best the day after the rest day, but nevertheless he had not reached Vingegaard's level."
Takes a cheater that sold being clean to the masses to know a cheater that suckers think is clean
'the disgraced American'...that title of him says it all ! Surprised he didn't make a comment about doping suspicions !
Didn't have to. He knows what's happening and it's never stopped
Why do you dedicate so much space on your site to the opinions of the sports worst cheater?
Are you still this mad that he blood doped? Let it go man. They took his titles, he has been publicly pilloried and he has apoligized. He can't do any more.. BTW, .. do you know who they gave all of Armstrong's TDF wins to? No one, because all of them were cheating as well.
I said nothing about the cheater himself but asked why they insist on posting so much crap about him and his opinions as if they were relevant. It just makes the site look bad.
Yes but why? Do people like it? I guess it just makes people take the site less seriously
They don't care if you take it seriously. So long as you open the page, they get paid. They may even make money from each comment
