Jonas Vingegaard, At 3 Minutes, Accepts Defeat In Tour de France 2024 

They both broke Pantani's longstanding record by quite a bit. Just, as they say in so many sports, "It's just Todej's time." Next year, injury free, let's see. ha!

Jonas is the easy pick Tadej doesn’t have all the qualities this man has.

Despite all injuries, he keeps the excitement alive. He is such a great rider and person. Respect to him.

@@enginucar1135 and let's see how Evenepooel develops. Looks promising. Same with Carlos!

Top comment, still underrated

I mean Jonas said it was the performance of his life, so he has to be close to peak surely

They are both in top shape. They made 2 best climbing performances in all history. Pogacar just better

Yo can be fan of both you know ? Of cycling in general. If you ride you know. This is not football

@@marcelcoto6981 exactly!! Huge respect to all, from the first guy to the one who doesn't make the time cut!

@@hiimrezgaming9885he’s just proud of how far he become with little preparation

i liked how he wasn’t looking for excuses. in fact he said it was maybe even a performance of his life

only proves JV was druged to its limits lmao to be in better condidion than last year when he didnt practice...comoon

​@@pow3r17He's not in better condition this year. Last year he made Tadej look average at the tt.

Jonas is actually stronger than previous year during tdf. He did 2nd best climbing performance in history today after Pogacar xD

@@Zawisza499 just because he did 1 stage at a higher level than usual doesn't mean his form is at it's best. No matter how much of a superhuman he is, no one can heal and get peak performance after suffering several broken bones. It's just not possible.

great words, well said.

@@SpaceGhostLeni i agree

My mind says Tadej; but my heart says Jonas!

They're aliens. Not even sure they're human 😂 Tadej's performances in the last 2 stages have been...outerworldly. He set an unofficial all time w/kg record in the prior stage

Jonas needed to recover from major injuries and has not had time to train as much as he should have. I don't think Tadej would have had such an easy time if Jonas was 100%. I'm also not sure what's going on with his team. Their support has been inconsistent.

@@hpwomansworld No Kuss - Wout not the same = problem

Very true

I dont see any competition this year.

@@MANFK-xo8be I think Jonas is unappreciated

@@silverarrowslk ppl should really appreciate Jonas being there

Same here. Total respect. What a "rivalry". Two guys giving it all.

@@Marltiod holy smokes is that right? 390 or so watts for 40 minutes?! Insane

That would be 560 watts for me 😂 I can to that for 40 seconds maybe 😂😂

I wonder what would have happened if Jonas had not had the accident.

@@hpwomansworld he would still have lost

@@user-sd5bo1tz8j You don't know that even in the slightest...

Well said. No room for haters. Respect for them all and what a show for us!

And more to come. Their story is just beginning. Back and forth. What a time to be a fan!

We agree!

Absolutely

let’s be real, how would sepp Kuss help? Tadej is just insanely strong this year, Jonas would literally win the tour easily even with this mediocre team if Tadej wasn’t there

@@meowkii_i think kuss would have neutralized yates yesterday and not let him get up the road by himself. yesterday’s stage would have been even.

@@samlin8089 Yates did a 20-30 seconds effort for Tadej before he went solo, do you really think the outcome would have been different?

@@meowkii_ yes. 👍

and yesterday. kuss would have closed yates attack and pogi would not have been able to drop jonas.

Genuinely curious what you mean by this. What does it mean to Crack and what does it mean to choke? Who chokes in cycling?

@@N-MIYA08 To crack in cycling is a sudden loss of energy, the rider slows down noticeably. To choke is a more general term for athletes used when the mind fails, the focus is gone.

I'm glad you appreciate it, and thank you

@@fatihsezgen77 i think pogacar if he wins tour will try go for the triple. Jonas told earlier in the week to danish media he wasnt sure about vuelta perhaps needing some family time after all that has happened but beside that i do agree with you.

Great job from him. He pulled as long as he could. Huge respect.

@@AkimuMageza He’s always been humble, nothing new there.

I didn't like his style at first, but man, what a warrior, a true champ.

Thanks to you

@@user-er8fs7pz5o because he had to change bikes, and the second bike didn't have a power meter

おそらく限界を越えるため？？

The wife is due to give birth during the Vuelta so Jonas, being so big on family, I unfortunately don’t think he will go. If it wasn’t for that I actually think he would have gone.

I don't think Jonas would beat him this year without the crash, he simply doesn't have the team this year. The whole Visma team had a major role in beating tadej 22 and 23

Imagine Tadej don't Run anything else except The Tour.

@stevegold7307: Yep, if Jonas woud had not hat crash, its clear he would be much better. I personaly think he would beat Tadej, cause for me its impossible, that with that kind of stress to his body and head, with that muscle loss and with only arround 1 month of propper training and not realy training for two month, it should be clear thaqt he is not even close to his peak. And I think its unheard of, that a rider, or any other sportsperson, with that kind of injury is coming back that fast and was on 100%. I doubt they are even at 95%. I think they are well below this. But never the less, there is also the posibility that Tadej also would be better without the Giro. Bu it seems, he was able to realy use the Giro for training. His numbers have improved and so we can assume, that this could be the case. Anyway....both are high level and for me it does not matter who wins...it only matters that both riding aginst each other...thats joy!
