- I was thinking the same. Jonas looked totally spent, face ashen. Tadej looked like he was on a group coffee ride. And Tadej said he didn’t even have to go deep.mij14-06-2025
- Did they really push him to the limit? He literally says he didn’t go too deep. This is a pretty misleading headline. Jonas is the one who looked wrecked.mij14-06-2025
- What the chuff is a “moral winner” quite sure none of them would want a prize just for turning up .. only one winner Tadejslappers6614-06-2025
- Maria. I think riders will attack on the downhill sometimes. It’s up to every rider to descend within their limits. Some riders are more skilled descenders. Others have different risk tolerance. Tadej followed so clearly he believed the risk was worth it to stay with his rivals. And yes, racing downhill is dangerous.mobk14-06-2025

- That is not what the Wisma riders like Sep Kuss say. If you look at the average speed of the downturn it was normal for a route like that. The french rider Roman Bardet in front drove 1 minut faster downhill that the Wisma Team. It is the individual riders choice and responsibility not to drive faster than what he considers safe. Thus stop whining Maria.Jakob14-06-2025
- Yes time will tell. Jonas's training is scheduled so he is believed to peak late in the Tour - but I guess that goes for Tadej too. Jonas needs steeper and longer mountains to be at his best. The Tour de France will be more exiting than everJakob14-06-2025
- No, that's no the point, the movement was dangerous, for tadej AND for Visma riders. Do you think that is ok? DSs Visma have to maintain cold blood and not try to win risking riders safety.
maria2024202414-06-2025 - If he follows what he considers a dangerous move then it’s not Visma putting him in danger it’s him deciding that the danger is worth it.mobk14-06-2025
- Kind of an insult to the current stars.Mistermaumau14-06-2025
He came, He saw, He conquered. Its turning into a teaching masterclass
It was more like the competition considered competing a futility and left him to his devices. The top 10 reads like a B-movie cast. All respect to him for making the most of it but he wasn’t really being tested.
Why is it that the top riders were sleeping knowing full well Jonas would likely attack on that last climb? It was so predictable !
