Jonas Vingegaard

For the Dane, the true finish line this week at the Critérium du Dauphiné is the start line of the 2022 Tour de France in Copenhagen.

“I am very happy about how I am doing at the moment, I have to be honest that my shape is really good,” Vingegaard said. He went really fast, and I could come in second.” “I think we did quite well today,” Vingegaard said at the line high in the French Alps. “Second and third, and we would have liked to have win, but Carlos Verona also deserves to win today.”

De Plus and Hirt join the front of the race in the last km of ascent. To win a stage and to be second overall is great for me. By that time, only six riders remain at the front: Kruijswijk, Vingegaard and Roglic for Jumbo-Visma, Ben O’Connor (AG2R Citroën), Esteban Chaves (EF Education-EasyPost) and Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious). Bennett is the last attacker to be caught, 6.5km away from the finish. They trail by 2’ when Armirail steps aside with 3km to go to the summit. Ben O’Connor (AG2R Citroën) was the last rival to resist, but he couldn’t keep up with Vingegaard’s decisive acceleration 5km away from the finish.

Jumbo-Visma teammates cross the line together as Jonas Vingegaard wins stage 8 finale atop Plateau de Salaison.

He has held the position of European editor since 2012 and previously worked for Reuters, Shift Active Media, and Cycling Weekly, among other publications. They opened a gap but O'Connor refused to give in, neither did the others. Kruijswijk eventually pulled off with 5.4km to go and Vingegaard immediately attacked. Gaudu soon blew, as did the USA’s Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar). Rolland was again first to the top of the Col de Leschaux as the breakaways fought for their glory. However, their lead on the GC group was only 1:30, with Wout van Aert leading the Jumbo-Visma up the climb. He was eventually joined by 13 riders to form a strong and determined attack. There are more GC contenders, so the competition will be harder, so it will be harder to win. “Not just us two, the whole team rode well and had everything under control all day. Vingegaard was second overall at 40 seconds. Esteban Chaves and Ruben Guerreiro (EF Education-EasyPost) finished fourth and fifth on the stage with defiant rides. Roglič and Vingegaard held hands as they rode to the finish line, Roglič pushing his teammate forward to take the stage victory.

July will determine if a very strong Jumbo-Visma will be enough to earn the team its first yellow jersey.

“When Primož wins, I am also super happy, and the other way around. “It would be hard for us to be one-two in the Tour, Pogačar is there, Martinez and Vlasov, there are a lot more GC contenders,” Vingegaard said. I am looking forward to being at the start and to face all of the challenges that will come to us.” It is a team sport, and we try to do the best with what we have.” “I am looking forward to it,” Roglič said. “I am older and more experienced,” Roglič said.

The Slovenian took second on the eighth and final stage won by his Danish teammate Jonas Vingegaard.

Vingegaard, with Roglic following his rear wheel, delivered the decisive attack with 5.4km to go. After shaking off their rivals, the two men crossed the line holding hands with Roglic allowing Vingegaard to lead by half a wheel. On Sunday, he made up for more last-day disappointment in the 2020 Dauphine when he abandoned on the morning of the final stage while wearing the leader's jersey, following a fall. In March, Roglic won Paris-Nice, a race he lost on the final day in 2021. The 32-year-old Roglic took his second WorldTour stage race victory of the year in the absence of fellow Slovenian and Tadej Pogacar, winner of the last two Tours de France. Vingegaard, who appeared even more comfortable than Roglic on the final climb, took his first win in the Dauphine, a year after showing his potential by finishing second overall in his Tour de France debut.
