Popular influencer Artem catched Jonas Vingegaard on a training and also asked him some questions, this one was the best 🤣 Full video: youtu.be/UBGo7ZC8Ocw?si…
🎥 Just like with Pogacar, an amateur cyclist clings to Vingegaard's wheel: "Why don't you shave your legs in winter?"

Last week, Tadej Pogacar had an amateur rider clinging to his wheel, and now it happened to Jonas Vingegaard. The Danish leader of Visma | Lease a Bike and teammate Wilco Kelderman had YouTuber Artem Shcherbyna behind him during his training camp in Spain. He saw it as the perfect opportunity to ask the former Tour winner questions.
It started as a quiet training run for the pair from the Dutch formation. The pace wasn't high (yet), so the influencer could catch up with the pros. They asked Vingegaard the question. "What is your maximum power in the sprint?" was the first question in the YouTube video. "800 watts" was the answer, but that soon turned out to be a lie. In the video, the Danish climber picks up the pace moments later. The amateur rider cannot keep up with the tempo, although he is pedaling almost 1100 watts himself. We are curious, though, about what metrics Vingegaard would achieve when he is in top form and not at training camp in the winter...
The amateur rider also had a rather strange but perhaps not entirely unjustified question. "Why don't you shave your legs in the winter? Everyone asked about it last year. You and Roglic don't shave your legs in the winter." Vingegaard answered briefly. "I shave them before the Tour." The YouTube video ended with a downhill segment, where the difference between amateur and pro became clear again. Where the videographer labeled it a "fast descent," Vingegaard was seemingly at ease on the bike. Had he taken risks, he would have created a considerable gap; that much is clear.

Pogacar got talents clinging to his wheel: "Got a pat on the back"
Pogacar thus experienced what his Danish rival was facing now, as he already had two amateurs clinging to his wheel during his KOM attack in Spain. Seventeen-year-old Quinten Muys tried to follow his pace earlier, but it didn't last long. "His team leaders did give me a pat on the back afterward," he said. During his attempt, co-talents Jenthe Verstraete and Dane Nicholas Birkholm joined Muys. At the top, they were rewarded with a selfie with the world champion.

- This is the kind of 'news' that belongs in a cheap tabloid. No matter how boring the offseason gets, nobody wants to read this.

MrYuck23-11-2024 - It seemed that he was focusing forward at the time of the crash, after seeing a quick video snippet. But one thing I think he should focus on more intently is breaking a bad habit he has, right now. And that is his constant looking over his shoulders. He does that so much, that I am very sure it is not good for him. Simply watch videos of the greats of CX and you will see very little of that constant looking over their shoulders. That is a behavior that betrays a bit of insecurity on his part. He shouldn't be so concerned, incessantly, about what is over his shoulder. He needn't worry they didn't all disappear. He neds to keep his focus more ahead of himself, and he needs to pay a bit more attention to himself, in a confident manner. It is very frustrating to watch, because it is apparent that he has a lot of potential, and is in much better shape thwan many of his competitors, but the mental game needs to be sharpened more, because that part of strategy plays a huge part in the final results
reemmo022-11-2024 - hahahaha love this shit! I didnt even watched the race, but reading all the gossip articles of how stupid this is!Zatoichi19-11-2024
- Van Aert is really handsome. He can influence me all day! Ditto for Philipsen. Why do you think many of us love cycling?: to see heroic attempts at climbing mountains at high altitudes or to watch speedsters sprint for the finish line or to watch a human being ride at break neck speed down a tricky descent? No, it's all about their lean physiques and muscular legs. (apologies for objectifying these dedicated and amazing athletes).BarwonHeadsUp25-10-2024
- It is unfortunate that the author can't feel the joy that Pogacar brings to the sport and his fans who are legion and I for one feel lucky to have watched such a memorable performance and historic season From the Strada until yesterday with multiple wins in stages in both tours and beyond dominance in the World's. He is proud to wear the Rainbow stripes, shows his leadership to protect his fellows and is as courteous and sportsman-like as the sport allows. He goes early to not have to respond to each attack as all the rest would make him do it. Any racer who could would do the same. Don't "grow tired" of greatness as it is always fleeting.ccrider13-10-2024
