A comfortable winner at the Critérium du Dauphiné, Jonas Vingegaard laid out a pre-Tour de France warning to any rider with hopes of taking his Yellow Jersey away from him.
"The preparation for the Tour was the most important thing," Jumbo-Visma's sports director Grischa Niermann told the team's official website following the conclusion of the 2023 Critérium du Dauphiné. "But of course, we also wanted to win this race. We are happy with the way last week went."
Claiming a pair of stage wins, Vingegaard was the general classification winner by more the two minutes when all was said and done, proving himself to be a clear level above the rest of his rivals. "We saw that Jonas was fine, as was the rest of the team," continues Niermann. "We will now return to the final phase of our training to leave nothing to chance at the start of the Tour.”
Alongside Vingegaard, Jumbo-Visma also had success with Christophe Laporte. The Frenchman claimed two stage wins and the points classification jersey.

- Oh, so now you know Pog better than he knows himself? Saying that when at the same time you can see an article quoting Pog saying “sometimes I don’t know why I attack” and not ever analysing emotions as men tend to is really rather naive and reductive. Hardly worth wasting our planet’s energy and ressources for. How about elevating the discussion to think over things a bit deeper?Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- They couldn’t convict him criminally because he paid up to escape it (that weird American possibility that ensures not all are equal before the law). He was convicted civilly but technically for committing crime. I on the other hand live in a country where unexplained damage to a baby in your care in theory leads to minimum 5 years of prison, if you admit an accident it’s more lenient but telling the truth that you don’t know how a bump on the skull happened exposes you to the as much risk as some who murder and rape. The developed world doesn’t deserve that designationMistermaumau20-11-2024
- Doesn’t deserve criticism considering all he won with all the crashes plus how close he got to a TdF (Pog had luck). If Pog and Jonas battle and wipe each other out we have Remco and Primoz to put on a show.Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- Agreed. Until he can stay upright on his bike, he’s at best an incomplete for a grade. That doesn’t mean that on his best form he can’t win it all. We just haven’t seen it.mij20-11-2024
