Jonas Vingegaard

When Tadej Pogačar fell during the final leg of yesterday's race, it provided the Danish cyclist Jonas Vingegaard the perfect opporunity to secure victory ...

In a dramatic turn of events, the Danish cyclist did not choose to take advantage of his rival’s fall but immediately slowed down until he caught up. “The win meant Jonas Vingegaard opened up a further gap between him and his rivals,” explained Nygaard after yesterday’s race. “He has a good chance of winning the title if he can play properly in the next races.”

Jonas Vingegaard retained the Yellow Jersey after an emphatic win on Thursday with the sprinters primed for glory today.

HAUTACAM, France (AP) — Barring a crash, Jonas Vingegaard is likely to be wearing the yellow jersey when the Tour de France ends in Paris on Sunday.

Standing up on his pedals, Pogacar tried in vain to drop Vingegaard with another sharp attack closer to the summit before Geraint Thomas accelerated. But Vingegaard looked unfazed and immediately took the wheel of his rival. Vingegaard’s Jumbo-Visma team managed to put the powerful and versatile Belgian Wout Van Aert in the day’s breakaway. I told my girlfriend and daughter this morning that I wanted to win the stage for them. Pogacar crossed the finish line more than one minute behind Vingegaard. I don’t want to talk about winning the Tour yet.

Jumbo Visma's Wout Van Aert, now with only Thibaut Pinot and Dani Martinez, were up the road. With 30-odd kilometres to go. Vingegaard came very close to wiping ...

He could ride with Pog to the finishing climb and make his move. There was still 27 km to go, and a tough climb to the finish. Furthermore, the yellow jersey had a teammate up the road, so there was no reason to go solo and risk it all. The descent was a hairy one as well, with sections of it with gravel. Time was running out for the Slovenian to make up time. Was it purely sportsmanship?

The pace set by Vingegaard's outstanding team-mate Wout Van Aert proved too much for Pogacar in the last four kilometres of the Tour's final mountain stage, ...

He then needed a bike change after a puncture, but took fourth on the day to strengthen his grip on third overall. “I was going through highs and lows today,” the Welshman said. It’s me who wanted to go fast on the descent, but I pushed it too far and crashed – can’t blame anyone for that.” “I said this morning to my girlfriend and my daughter I wanted to win for them and I did. “There couldn’t be a better way to lose the Tour de France than this,” the 23-year-old said. With his tyres in the gravel, Pogacar slipped and went down.

No 2020 repeat? Jumbo-Visma, Jonas Vingegarad leave no stone unturned for Tour de France decider on Saturday.

“And that’s how we approach it.” “It’s not ideal, but the ASO and Santini are doing a good job. Pogačar has it all to play for. “Whatever happens in the sprint day, on the day of the time trial, you have to go as fast as possible, and anything is possible, also taking time,” Zeeman added. The team of Jonas Vingegard is keeping ice cool ahead of the 40.7-kilometer time trial likely to make real the team’s dream of a yellow jersey on Saturday. But with more than three minutes to lean on and a wave of confidence in Vingegaard’s legs, Jumbo-Visma’s three-year wait for the maillot jaune is within reach.

The 2022 Tour de France is coming to an end this weekend, and after 22 days and 18 stages it is looking like we know the winner. Jonas Vingegaard won stage ...

He probably could have ridden away from Roglic if he wanted to, but he’s played the team role” Robbie said. Jonas Vingegaard won stage 18 yesterday and is now closing in on an overall victory, just two more days to get through for his first Tour de France win. So why was Jonas Vingegaard overlooked?
