I'd rather watch Pogačar win every race he entered than listen to excuses like Jonas has been putting out. Remco, good rider but not yet on that elite level of climbers. At times, yes he complains too much. Here is the thing, when Lance won his 7, not many people were just launching into could of/should have/might have reasons they lost. Jan accepted it and just said "He was better over the 3 weeks". Nobody made up excuses in the media for him (Jonas wife) or called out team members.05:19

Oh I know all about it. Visma is also a team that leaves no surprises to its riders. They probably did at the very least 1 full day of recon on each flat stage and maybe more on climbing stages as well as decent. Seeing he also claims he did his own recon...he should have known if a pebble was out of place on the side of the road. This is PRO cycling not once a year 5mil rides. What he really should have said is: I am not the top rider anymore Pogi has surpassed the ability I have. My crash was caused by me trying to relive my glory years. Lastly, my wife made some remarks to the media, and to be honest I said them. She just was who the press talked to. I caused a big problem on the team bus with the remarks. I also owe one of the hardest working and vest riders in the world Van Art a huge apology for calling him out in said remarks. I honestly use to like Jonas, but now I am starting to think that he thought he was better than the sport. Going as far as to blame the race organization for a fall and then "his wife" calls out his teammate during the TDF. If I was Van Art I would have sat up and not helped him at all after that. Or, maybe help another rider instead. I don't think Visma would have said much. After all, they are trying to sign Del Torro or Sexlis...for what? GC03-04-2026 05:07

It is starting to sound like his wife's article remarks where also shared by Jonas. He said last week that he didn't do as well as he wanted at the tour last year due to his fall. And had he not fallen it would have been different and nobody truly knew how bad the fall was. Now, complaining about weather. Just say the weather wasn't good for you, but you gave it your best. And about the fall, just say my run up to the race was sub par due to my crash. I was just not 100% yet. Instead he is starting to sound like he is making excuses for anything and everything. Not a good look for a tur winner.15-03-2026 03:51

This article should be titled what it really is: Pogi is a freak of nature and here's why14-03-2026 19:18

Already Jonas has shown his now inability to climb for 3 weeks strong. At the TDF last year the only reason he stayed near Pogi was because Pogi was sick the last week. Yet he still couldn't catch him. I betting he finishes off the podium if everyone shows up in good to great form10-03-2026 04:25

Paul Seixas can out perform Jonas right now. Not even a question. Jonas Vingegaard will be lucky to be on the podium in Paris. I don’t know if it was his crash, his wife's remarks or he is just declining at 29. I have watched every single race he has been in since turning pro. And at one point he was very good, not great but very good. He used his brain and abilities to the top of the sport. Now, if you look at the riding, many times he looks unsure of things, his ability to accelerate is not close to riders like Pogi, Lipowitz, Del Torro and other riders. He is not the best rider on his team. I have been hearing that he will be co-leader at the TDF. I don’t know who option "B" or "1B" is. But that says a lot. Paul Seixas is probably the best to challenge Pogi in the next few years. And if he leaves UAE, Del Torro as well.10-03-2026 00:48

He is more complete than Jonas and in my opinion...he is a bigger threat. I think Jonas has lost his edge for some reason. If Del Torro left that would be a huge problem for Pogi too08-03-2026 19:52

He said he was off and he was. Let him be and see what happens in the coming months. See if he can hang with Pogi at the TDF. I believe he will hold his own with Jonas who is showing signs of slight decline (sorry to fans but it seems it) and I like him. My only issue is that instead of just saying "I was off" or "I didn't have it", Remco always has a list of things that cause an issue. With that always happening sooner or later it sounds like an excuse and not a simple answer23-02-2026 21:06

Very interesting that he is basically saying "Our team trainers say.. We can't beat Pogi with what fitness and training we currently do. Let's try copying the basics of what UAE is doing and see if it helps." Honestly, a ruder like Pogi is rare and it is not a simple twist on training to beat him. Along with other riders on UAE who are near the "Pogi dominant" form. It's just UAE found a gem in Pogi and a few other riders. If surrounded by a solid group they are going to win 8 of 10 times. However, zone 2 is a good idea as it seems to allow you to develop your ability to work longer buy building your lactic acid threshold allowing you to go harder and longer07-02-2026 22:06
