The Tour de France is over and the first favorites are not disappointed. Even with the accident he had, Jonas Vingegaard rose to the occasion and fought for the general classification almost to the end, leaving a heroic image that will last for years.
Pogacar, Vingegaard, Visma – Rent a bike
Considering the number of visible wounds, Jonah has a right to be proud, but it is obvious that he has not fully thought it through. “Under other circumstances I would be disappointed, but with everything I went through this year I have no right to this,” he said.
“My preparation was not the best but I reached a high level, so Pogacar really won the Tour,” he calculated. The man from Visma added: “If you had told me four months ago that I would be the second one, I would not have believed it.
“It’s an important race and I hope to win, but considering the preparation I had, this result is normal,” he told TV2. “I gave it my all for two weeks but last week I sank twice. He said: “I have never been as tired as I am now.
“I haven’t had a minute’s rest since November. My brain is tired. Four months ago I didn’t know if I would be a cyclist again,” said Vingegaard. “It feels like a victory and I must admit that at my high level it would have been difficult to beat Tadej,” he concluded.
His words are not without reason, because if someone believes that Pogi only won the crown because of the accident of his opponent, they do not understand anything. The numbers developed by the Slovenian throughout the entire race – and with the Giro at his feet – speak for themselves.
Vingegaard lost a point of form, but it is clear that the changes introduced this campaign in the UAE have had an impact, especially the departure of San Millán as coach of the championship, now led by Javier Sola.
Tadej worked for months to improve on long runs – 40 minute attempts – as well as doing them in the heat. To that, more intense sessions are added, eliminating constant cycling in two areas.
Improvements in equipment and general professionalism of the UAE complete the combo. Vingegaard did very well in showing off his opponent, the first big step to be in the fight in over a year. Because that Journey has already begun.
