"On Saturday, we might go for the stage win" - Relentless Jonas Vingegaard still looking for more success
CyclingFriday, 21 July 2023 at 22:00
Leading the Tour de France by over seven and a half minutes, Jonas Vingegaard surely has victory of Maillot Jaune sealed up. That alongside the incredible time-trial victory on stage 16 has ensured for a successful race but the Jumbo-Visma leader is not content.
“This was another tough day, there was constant action everywhere. All in all it was a good ride," said the 26-year-old Dane in his post-stage interview following stage 19, a crazy day that saw an emotional Matej Mohoric take victory from the breakaway.
Casting an eye towards the final proper day of racing on stage 10, Vingegaard is keen to take advantage of one final stage win opportunity.
“If I feel good again on Saturday, we might go for the stage win. I know the course and we have a plan," says the Jumbo-Visma leader. "I feel little pressure and take things as they come. If I win, then I win, if not, then not."

- it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.mij09-01-2026
- Looks like his poor health just stomped on the rear mech of his cycling career.Onepiece09-01-2026
- she is so good. even her results from 2025, which were “bad”, would be a career year for most riders. and consider at MSR, for example, her teammate won - perhaps Lotte could have won it. wishing her the best for 2026!mij09-01-2026

- Not sure you can say that someone as talented and successful as him has had bad luck, but between coming along right after the two titans and now this, his is a career cut short. Perhaps he can transition to a different role in the sport, but in any case I wish him well.MidnightRider08-01-2026
- I doubt it. This blows a hole in their ranks.mobk08-01-2026
- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
