The danish Jonas Vingegaard welcomes the result and his performance yesterday at fourth stage of the Tour de France, the first of the high mountains, where he showed that his team, Team Visma-Lease a Bike, It lacks the units to be as powerful as UAE Team Emirates by Tadej Pogacarbut in which he announced the conditions that many doubted that he could give, especially considering that he was not competing from terrible fall was experienced in Itzulia last April.
Pogacar It took a long time yesterday to find the tickle. He did, as in San Lucawithin final stretch of the ascent to the Galibier, about 23 kilometers. He attacked in the last 800 meters, which some wanted our cycling analyst Rafa Carrasco, is synonymous with Pogacar It’s not in such great condition as it seems.
Vingegaard’s language
The mere six seconds that Vingegaard lost on the climb compared to Pogacar, although it is true that later on the descent the Slovenian clearly overtook him, finishing 37 seconds ahead of him, filled the Visma troops and Vingegaard himself of morals.
“Most of the time I lost was on the descent, on the climb I think I was pretty good. In the first four stages we only lost time on one stage and we expected to lose them all. So in that sense we can be satisfied. I thought we will lose two minutes or so we know what we have to do, but we are not going to reveal it Like in the last two years, we will see what will happen in the end,” he said at the end of the stage yesterday.
He gave more hints at the starting line of yesterday’s episode. “It’s only the first week. We have to defend ourselves during the first week and maybe later our mentality will be different. It’s normal that the pressure drops pogacar, because I’m still an unknown factor. “You don’t know how I’ve been these three weeks.”
And he has no reason Vingegaard to be nervous. It is enough to remember that last year after the fourth period he was 6th or in 2022 at the end of the fifth day he was seventh; and in both editions he won.
