𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘀,
You joined us in 2019 as a young, modest rider full of dreams. Back then, even you could hardly have imagined those dreams would one day become reality.
You quickly proved your talent and not long after delivered the team’s greatest success by winning the Tour de France, followed by a second victory just a year later.
It seemed as if the future lay entirely at your feet until everything suddenly came to a standstill after a serious crash in the spring of 2024. Those moments must have felt endless, but you kept fighting.
A few months later you were back in the Tour, once again showing what an extraordinary fighter you are by finishing second behind perhaps the best rider in the world.
You never stopped chasing your dreams. Last summer you claimed your first La Vuelta victory and now, with the Giro d’Italia, you have completed the trilogy.
You have done yourself great honour in reaching this milestone. Achievements like these are reserved for the very best in the sport. But you have not only honoured yourself, you have also honoured the team. Your journey is now Woven Into History, marking a new chapter in our team’s history, and for that we will be forever grateful.
With heartfelt thanks from the whole team. 💌
🇮🇹 Davide Piganzoli: "Jonas sometimes takes me aside to explain something new. How should I train, How should I eat, How can I recover better...
For me, that is really wonderful. He is very important to me." [In de Leiderstrui]
Things got AWKWARD when Sukihana told Bobbi Althoff that Men are better leaders than Women and they don’t “k*ll babies” like woman do when they get abortions 😳💀
“Woman would m*rder innocent… Woman do m*rder with a child.”
Sepp Kuss before the Giro d’Italia:
“Jonas is a wonderful person. Last year, after the Vuelta a España, we were given a holiday as a gift from him. I went to Greece with my family. It’s a memory I’ll carry with me for life and whenever I think back on that trip, I’ll always think of Jonas.”
“The memory with Jonas that means the most to me is the first Tour de France he won. The feeling of winning the Tour… it’s hard to describe. It almost feels unreal that it happened.”
“I still genuinely enjoy “sacrificing” myself for a leader like Jonas. It’s never even a question when I see how strong he is. I wouldn’t really call it a sacrifice. If anything, I feel lucky to be able to help such an exceptional rider chase success. Winning the Vuelta in 2023 didn’t change that for me.”
“Sometimes I’m amazed at how well he handles pressure. Top riders experience it in their own way, but at the same time they have such deep confidence in their abilities. That gives them a huge mental edge, and it also helps them deal with setbacks much more easily.”

Vingegaard @ TV2: "We’ve taken turns a bit. Now he has won the last two years, so now it’s my turn to win TDF this year. I believe that I will. I have a good feeling both about the race and my preparation. I think it will be our year this year"
