Passed to the offensive in the ascent of Mont-Ventoux, Jonas Vingegaard is invited to put a “monster mess” in the last two alpine stages.
Jonas Vingegaard had entrusted it on Monday on the occasion of the rest day: despite his four minutes late on Tadej Pogacar, the Danish did not abdicate. The leader of the Visma-Lease A Bike joined the gesture to the word on Tuesday, going to the offensive in Mont-Ventoux.
While his teammates hardened the race from the foot of the climb, Jonas Vingegaard, who was also able to rely on Tiesj Benoot and Victor Campenaerts, who left in the breakaway of the day, multiplied the attacks in the last kilometers of the ascent. In vain since Tadej Pogacar has always managed to follow, the Slovenian recovering even two additional seconds on arrival.
Jonas Vingegaard was nonetheless satisfied with his day.
“I felt very well today, so I am happy with my sensations, happy with the attacks that I was able to try. Of course, I did not resume time, but I withdraw a lot of motivation of this day, he said. The team did an incredible job, everyone gave everything, it was really a total commitment of each, they were all great. So thank you to all my teammates. He followed me with each attack, I followed him when he attacked … So I don’t know if I saw any weakness today. But at least, I am motivated by the good sensations that I had, and I will continue to try everything. »»
Jonas Vingegaard must “do something crazy”
And for Jérôme Coppel, the double winner of the Tour must now try a huge poker stroke by attacking from afar if he wishes to overthrow Tadej Pogacar. “In fact, I would like to see Jonas Vingegaard fuck me a monster brothel on a stage from far away. Whether it’s fire, even if it takes 20 minutes at the end, he launched at the microphone of RMC. We don’t care that he finishes second. Yes, it is better for his team to have a runner on the podium than not. »»
“But I want to see him try something and do something crazy to try to overthrow Tadej Pogacar, he insisted. It is only like that that he may succeed. Pogacar seems unbeatable. But of course that if you attack 7 km away, even if it is in one day without, it will not take five minutes. »»
