- As you are describing Jonas fighting before he'd had time to build back the muscle he'd lost from the crash, I still feel uncomfortable about it. It felt like crossing a line from driven to a bit obsessed with winning three Tours in a row. Jonas must still have been unwell when he made the decision to go all-in for that Tour instead of, say, targeting the Vuelta, wonder if he was put under any pressure. I guess I won't get much support in this view!
- Yes, I meant to add to what had been said about that stage already.
- Pretty sure you're right. Jonas may be served better by going to do another Giro, I don't know, we all speculate but never truly know until the season rolls around. I will say this, we are all lucky to be living in the time we are, the best cyclists in history are racing right now, it's awesome to watch.
- Considering the severity of those injuries, his performance at that tour was absolutely incredible. That lunge for the line on stage 11 (IIRC), he was a complete animal to get fit, turn up, and fight the entire way to Paris for second.
- Google this headline and read. Calling me names doesn't make you right and me wrong. I'm mostly always right though lol, you're welcome..
'I wasn't happy, we had to change something' – Jonas Vingegaard reveals he considered stepping away from pro cycling last year
- I speak from experience. If I'm wrong, feel free to call me out.
- Actually it should be the reverse. Sexias should get used to wining a GT. That means Giro Vuelta (one of them not both). Get a Podium/wins there would be good for morale especially when you look at the self blaming mentality of Sexias. TDF is simply unwinnable and the probability of crashes is high.
- it is easy to check whether he has the engine for today's races or not. Just do a VO2 max test. Then check the endurance. Recovery is the hardest to check but 5 day at the same effort should help understand. But even Froome has said that he couldn't compete against Pogi.
After this it becomes difficult, whether physical or mental limit. Whether you find it or not, tactics become very important to win. Neither Ineos nor Bernal are known for their tactics. All they know is brute force and domestique train.
- I have only one word "Delusional"
- Geez do you have a medical and cycling degree? I highly doubt it! You are the only one on here spewing this crap about a C7 affecting his TT position...LOL !
