"Vingegaard should have done his share of the work" - José de Cauwer, Lance Armstrong and Johan Bruyneel's view on Jumbo-Visma's San Sebastián flop
CyclingMonday, 03 July 2023 at 12:57
The Tour de France has everyone in the cycling world completely focused on a specific race, and in the space of two days a lot has already happened, from Pogacar's attacks, surprise winners and quite a lot of tactic debate with a few teams. José de Cauwer, Lance Armstrong and Johan Bruyneel weighed in.
"Kelderman did his thing, so did Benoot. Then I got nervous, because I missed Vingegaard. I have all the respect for the Tour winner, but in this case he should have been a little bit of a teammate," José de Cauwer told Sporza. "Then it is not a question of not being able to, but of not seeing or not wanting to. No, I'm not saying the latter, but he may not see the work."
The Belgian analyst has, as did many others, criticized the lack of a turn from Jonas Vingegaard in the finale of stage 2 into San Sebastián, where Victor Lafay took advantage of a worn down Jumbo-Visma to take a surprise stage win, with Wout van Aert sprinting for second just behind. However, he does not believe that there is an internal feud, and argues that the Dane is not selfish when it comes to helping his teammates.

"Put the fact that Vingegaard gave away the final time trial (in the 2022 Tour de France, ed.) to Van Aert in the balance with what Van Aert has done. For Vingegaard. And what he meant to the team. Here Vingegaard should have done his share of the work. I have no apologies for it. No one can change my mind."
Over on the North American side, Lance Armstrong added that in Jonas Vingegaard's shoes he would've taken a pull: "I don't understand why Vingegaard didn't just take the lead in the last 300 to 400 meters,"he said said in 'The Move' ."That would have resulted in victory for Van Aert. Vingegaard could certainly have done it, he has the legs for it. It was his and the team's mistake. It is in Vingegaard's interest that Van Aert wins a stage early in the Tour so that he is satisfied. Then he can concentrate 100 percent on helping Jonas."
His co-host Johan Bruyneel agreed: "Van Aert has already done a fantastic job for Vingegaard and he will continue to do so this Tour. Wout knows his job, but he is also a champion with an ego and also wants to win. And the faster that happens, the better for Jumbo-Visma. I don't get it right. Suppose Van Aert had won and that was thanks to Vingegaard - that would have given such a good feeling. It would have been 1-1 with UAE."

leedorney15-11-2024 - Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024
- 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.

- 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
