Vingegaard vs Pogacar part 3 | Tour de France champion leads Jumbo-Visma at Il Lombardia
CyclingFriday, 07 October 2022 at 19:00
Jumbo-Visma have seen most of their main riders head off on a well-deserved off-season, but Jonas Vingegaard, who has recently returned to competition, is still looking to make a different as he leads the Dutch team at Il Lombardia.
Following his Tour de France success, it were a long couple of months away from racing for the Dane, who looked to enjoy his victory before returning to a competitive level. His return at Cro Race saw him take two stage wins - against a modest peloton however - and finishing second in the overall classification, losing it in the final day against Matej Mohoric.

With Tadej Pogacar considered by many as the man to beat, Vingegaard will find himself in familiar terrain. The terrain isn't as suited to him, but he will lead the Dutch team, whilst veteran Robert Gesink who showed brilliant form at the Vuelta a Espana, Koen Bouwman who took two stage wins and the KOM jersey at the Giro d'Italia and world time-trial champion Tobias Foss will be men to look out for on the road.
The team is concluded by the trio of Sam Oomen, Gijs Leemreize and Chris Harper who will be riding in supportive roles for whoever the Dutch team feels is their best option.
Jumbo-Visma for Il Lombardia: Jonas Vingegaard, Gijs Leemreize, Sam Oomen, Robert Gesink, Koen Bouwman, Tobias Foss and Chris Harper.

- If anyone would be interested enough to launch an official survey as to who out of these three should shut up, I don’t know who’d win but I’m due Boonen would be way back in 3rd place.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
