@GCoell @Tim_Scribner @tomdanielson That is still the only chink in Pogs armor. The only semblance of a weakness. No matter if he’s hurt or sick or both, that is one of the only ways to break him. And it still might not work.

@Tim_Scribner @macbody @tomdanielson Peter, Tadej was sick and bruised on a knee the whole of TdF week 3 and Jonas couldn’t even recover 10 seconds on GC

Now that was a dynamic stage 6 of the Volta Catalunya! Here are seven takeaways I have after watching it (from the couch, of course). 1. Jonas Super Strong and Not Riding All Out For me, he looks very Tadej 2024 (although he was some 18 seconds faster today than Tadej's time), doing races he can win and winning without going outside of the zones and timing his winning efforts like a workout, not overreaching. I think this both gives him confidence and is building his body stronger in the races without breaking it down. He can't control the level Tadej is at, but he sure is controlling the level he is at, and that seems to be the best one yet.

@m_mundbjerg Jeg vil ikke udelukke 2. Det er ikke sandsynligt. Men hvis løbet udvikler sig ….

🇩🇰 Flest professionelle sejre: Mads Pedersen - 60 🏆 Rolf Sørensen - 51 Jonas Vingegaard - 47 🆙 Magnus Cort - 35 Kim Andersen - 33 Jakob Fuglsang - 27 Matti Breschel - 22 Jesper Skibby - 20 Michael Sandstød - 18 Bjarne Riis - 17 Søren Lilholt - 16 Nok endnu en sejr i morgen.

@Missgreen8211 @MCChampionship_ @Cambam0I0 @JamalMC_ttv @joehills @TheOrionSound I was going to watch whatever the Skizz team was for the Chaos. But damn this is tempting me. _jamal getting closer and closer tho …. That is cool.

@MCChampionship_ @Cambam0I0 @JamalMC_ttv @joehills @TheOrionSound Ollie and Joe 🤩♥️🥰 I can’t even

👑 Announcing team Purple Pandas 👑 @Cambam0I0 @JamalMC_ttv @joehills @TheOrionSound Watch them in MCC: Hermit Takeover on Sunday 12th April at 5:30pm BST!

@tomdanielson So Jonas is using the hardest stage race this year(until now) as a training ride, while the others a competing hard for the win. That speaks to a level of dominance, that is close to Pogacar.

@FerreusW @IconicChriss Trademark spot for Hamrick.

@IconicChriss That's not funny. That was an accident, and could have seriously hurt him. Wasn't a planned bump, moron

This bump will never not be funny 😭🤣 Legendary....

@SonyRod35 @Niz5v @cycletips123 Nah. I’m good. I only check the dude, when Jonas wins. Just for the raging.

@macbody @Niz5v @cycletips123 You need to see better

Absolutely devastated 😥😥 😂

@bapmarbims40372 @cycloben2 The others were legit impressed because of the strong headwind. Everyone’s watts looked less than stellar yesterday. Skjelmose was in awe. Looking at pure watts without context in stupid.

@cycloben2 I disagree. He put 50s in Gall who was on and off attacking, chasing and stopping with Lipowitz. Numbers support it, not fantastic shape

I’d be brave enough to say that Jonas Vingegaard is in better shape than he has been at any point since the spring of 2024. Paris-Nice might have seemed like an outlier due to the weak startlist, but here he’s actually put a really solid performance at a relatively high altitude and at a high-level race. Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean there will be an actual battle at the Tour, but he may have once again closed the gap to Tadej Pogacar within the margin of error - this is the threshold within which (should Pogacar make one major or two minor mistakes, such as poor nutrition or struggling with the weather, or his team being too depleted) Jonas might have a chance to hunt him down. This is still only 10–15% at most, but it’s twice as much as it would have been a month ago. #VoltaCatalunya

@SonyRod35 @Niz5v @cycletips123 Haven’t seen the Del Toro hate.

@Niz5v @cycletips123 Not UAE, he hates even Del Toro, Almeida. He only likes Pogacar and Seixas, recently

@Bocajsen @cycletips123 Ja! Totalt! Hans vitriole had til random mennesker, fordi kører på cykel er imponerende.

@cycletips123 Jeg tror, at jeg er gået under radaren. Det bliver næsten koldkrigsspionage at scrolle hans (elendige) takes igennem, som dansk cykelfan.

@Ninnabeast *phat

Fat pussy lyder så 🔥 Tyk tissekone lyder så 😟

@sideandaprayer @BohunickaNikola Still don’t see why a GC rider and grimpeur should ride the classics. I mean maybe LBL or Lombardia. Just as I don’t expect MVDP to compete in the mountains in a grand tour.

@macbody @BohunickaNikola If the cobbles get wet he could be Flipovich 😀

When you ever feel stupid, remember that there were people who thought Remco and Almeida were on Jonas’s level 🤭

@sideandaprayer @BohunickaNikola Dunno why Lipovich became flipovich but hey. 🤷‍♂️

@sideandaprayer @BohunickaNikola I don’t know who I’m less interested in seeing in the classics: Almeida, gall, flipovich, Ayuso or vingegaard. Why on earth would they compete there?

@llireon @faustocoppi60 Yeah. He could have gone deeper to get another 30 seconds. But there is no reason to do that. Jonas is back! The giro will be boring(for some, not me) but a good Jonas make the Tour much more interesting.

@macbody @faustocoppi60 Yeah last 100m were easy as usual but I would say even before that he was at best doing sweet spot in the last 2-3km

⏱️ Jonas Vingegaard climbed today the stuning Coll de Pal (14,1 km@7,3%) in 37 min 50 sec, at 22.36 km/h. It wasn't a fast ascent by today's standards probably due to wind and or/slow first part by Ineos (also finish at 1950m altitude). #VoltaCatalunya105

@sideandaprayer @BohunickaNikola Okay. I’ll bite…. Which wheel did he sniff the last 5 km today?

@BohunickaNikola Until he wins (or even competes) a classic, the wheel sniffer will never be granted legend status.

@ammattipyoraily @Furious_n_fast Headwind also. Jonas obviously did go all out. Yeah. The time gaps are a better measure today.

@Furious_n_fast I wouldn't pay too much attention to these estimations. Much more credible numbers for Coll de Pal are time gaps between riders. Road surface of Bola del Mundo is rough concrete, not quite comparable to Coll de Pal.

#VoltaCatalunya, Stage 5 ⛰️🏁 COLL DE PAL (14.08 km, 7.34 %, 1034 m) Jonas Vingegaard (🏆) > 37:51 > 22.32 Kph > VAM 1639 m/h > 6.11 W/kg (est.) (est.) = "60 kg standard", "53 % drafting"

@llireon @faustocoppi60 He rolled over the line. I think he even pumped the brakes just before the line. He wasn’t even close to red zone.

@faustocoppi60 Tbf it looked like he controlled the effort and managed it instead of going all out in the last 2-3km tomorrow is also a MTF and there is no need to spend yourself completely

@m_mundbjerg Da Jonas jagtede Remco ned og fangede ham(I modvind på en pandekage), da burde alle blive nervøse.

Virkelig imponerende af 🇩🇰 Vingegaard at sætte alle på plads på trods af at hans Visma-raket blev ødelagt af styrtet. Man skal være en hel del bedre end konkurrenterne for at sætte dem allesammen fra hjul på den måde på en stigning med så meget vind.

@m_mundbjerg Han tog tid i modvind. Hvis etapen havde været længere, så havde han taget mere tid. Den her Jonas er den Jonas, som kan true Pog(som den eneste). Pog er stadig favorit. Men feltet har brug for Jonas.
