Pro Cyclingπ JonasπWoutπ€Visma
I am so happy to see him again amd that he healthy again!
Last time we saw him was CdD, where he and Politt had a "fight" and both got a yellow card. π
It's also a bit of a strange expression: Biggest move. What does that mean?
Rider with the best results moves teams? So you can argue that Roglic is just as big.
And you can go back in history and find Contador going to Saxo.
And I'm sure there are more.
Yes I thought the same thing when I read the original question Jonas had answered.
If he could only win one more race, what would it be?
(Of course it would be the Giro so he has all the GTs)
It wasn't how the media chose to report it a few weeks back.π
www.domestiquecycling.com/en/news/ving...
Wasn't he the one who had an argument with Jorgenson during the Vuelta? First in a closed chat group and then he went out and said it to the media afterwards?
I don't think that says anything good about his character.
2. In retrospect Jonas should not have raced tdf'24 as it set back his healing and has meant that he is only now back at pre-crash level. (but he himself wanted to and Visma agreed)
20.11.2025 23:38 β π 7 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Jonas repeats a lot of things he has said before but interesting news is that :
1. Jonas and Visma have talked the Trine interview situation out and found solutions for next season (for his familie and Visma).
Yeah... I don't think Jonas would have talked so much about the Giro if he wasn't planning on riding it.
Is it possible that he will participate in the Giro route reveal? Or maybe the Giro organizers will announce Jonas' participation?
and the quote is from this article about Remco
www.hln.be/kristallen-f...
Francesco Moser states that "I hear in Giro circles that they have made a deal with the fast Dane in 2026. Yes, Jonas Vingegaard"
This is a quote from an article with paywall in HLN and mentioned in Danish media Ekstrabladet.
Exciting if true! ekstrabladet.dk/sport/cyklin...
It's hard to disagree with Mads P here. It must be pretty uninspiring to ride show races.
But in the future, he'll look like a hypocrite if he rides them anyway for the big pay, so it's a bit unnecessary to say that to the media?
Yes. I didn't know him but just saw this video about him (about his '24 season as DS)...he seems like a guy who would fit in at Visma, I think

I agree.
Another reason that teams should communicate quickly about legal (and health) issues is that now people/media will start speculating about other riders who just "disappeared" without a word from the team.
And there could be reasons for that (private issues that are none of our business).
Totally agree!
This is the 3rd clickbait article I've seen that is written based on "CafΓ© Eddy podcast". which is a really good and relaxed Danish podcast with Brian Holm and guests. Apparently it's very easy to take a quote out of context and then translate it into another language...
You can't compare Merckx's time with today.
Back then, cycling was followed through newspapers and magazines. Maybe a little radio transmission and black and white clips on TV.
Dominance today is experienced differently. It is valid to think that it is unbearable to see a rider win 90%
Interview with Cian's agent...it seems to be ok for all parties:

28.09.2025 14:28 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 3 π 0Yeah...both Kim Andersen and Skjelmose should be smarter how they talk to media; look at this first "translated" Dutch article π€¨π€¦ββοΈ

Yeah Mads P has said he wants to go back and ride after stages in the tdf. (He didn't say exactly when.)
So good luck to Trek in keeping everyone happy.
I partly agree...for a few years it was Mads P and Skelmose who primarily brought results for Trek, then they got (a) Lidl money and started buying Milan and Nys and now Ayuso.
But I am well aware that a rider is only worth his last result...
More than two years ago I called Skjelmose Fuglsang v.2; Fuglsang only really became successful when he dropped his GT dreams and focused on one-day racing.
I hope Skjelmose will soon come to the same understanding.
I agree 100%...but it's sad that Trek hasn't communicated with him properly...also regarding his position/opportunities at Trek in the future.
26.09.2025 19:10 β π 6 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Besides the lack of communication, it is noteworthy that Skjelmose makes such clear comments publicly.
He is making Trek and all other interested parties aware of the situation...and I'm sure everyone knows that his contact expires in a year.
Interesting interview with Skjelmose about Trek's new rider Ayuso; He found out about it from the media and heard nothing from the team; "(Trek) has told me that it's me they believe in. I don't know how it's connected to that Ayuso has come in..."π

Yeah, but let's aim after a "Inside the Beehive: How we won the Giro and the Vuelta" π
26.09.2025 14:55 β π 8 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0yeah...I just checked the mens WT '25 program and Renewi was only 5 days and gave 400 uci points. So probably same for Tour de Suisse next year.
25.09.2025 12:40 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Surely then the race can't continue to be a WT one week race with 400-500 uci points?
Can it even be considered a WT race when it's only 5 days?
Yeah I guess the only thing could be, that he wanted to try riding for a very structured team.
But I have always also seen Ineos as being a bit the same as Visma; structure and good team spirit.
