"That is not exactly what we had hoped for" - Wilco Kelderman shares slight disappointment after stage 6

Jumbo-Visma was in attack mode during stage 6, with Wout Van Aert up the road while Sepp Kuss and Wilco Kelderman launched their leader Jonas Vingegaard on Col du Tourmalet. Frankly, they couldn't shake off Tadej Pogacar who shattered their hopes of stage win with less than 3 km to go.
"That is not exactly what we had hoped for," Kelderman said to NOS afterwards. "But you know, we just went all-in," the Dutchman from Jumbo-Visma immediately added. "Yesterday he was strong, but yes. We are still in good shape, let me put it this way."
On Wednesday, heading to Laruns, Vingegaard took over a minute on Pogacar. Now the roles were reversed and it was the Slovenian who gained time. A surprise? "I didn't expect this either, no. But yes, what can I say about it?"
How does Kelderman feel about this stage? "We are in yellow. That's the positive. There are still many stages to go and Jonas is very strong. There are still many stages that suit him well."

- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- C’mon, they need this kind of gooey content in winter to stop readers switching off. Medias sowing seeds to provoke discussion and rumours that lead to a self-defined legitimacy to introduce undesired questions during rider interviews in order to boast delivery of “original” contentMistermaumau15-11-2024

- The reason you don’t see these type of websites often and certainly not in cycling might be that they die before you find them. But tell us about it when you’re done I’ll visit to check it out.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
