๐ฃ๏ธ Jonas Vingegaard: "I had to slip into my own rhythm. Over the top, the gap wasn't that big, but the descent wasn't really for me. It wasn't my best day, but that's how it is sometimes. Of course I am a bit disappointed, but yeah." [TV 2 Sport]
Jonas Vingegaard finishes as feared, more than 2 minutes behind Pogacar. Hats off for not giving up, impressive that he managed to stay away from the chasers. ๐ฉ Still the 2nd best Grand Tour rider in the world.

@Saiiilyyy_ Hi can you send me a message sorry d ko alam pano mag message sa twitter i have gen ad available d ako maka attend kasi naiwan nang flight my ticket is nasa friend ko. Interested?
Remco Evenepoel before the Tour: โIโve lost 4 kilos since the classics just for the Tour.โ
โI have a new coach now who has
monitored everything closely and kept everything under control in terms of power output and so on. So Iโm satisfied with where I stand at the moment: weโll see if itโs enough.โ
โWe'd known for a long time that we'd be together here with Lipo, and we're prepared for it. I think we've shown we work really well together, there's not much to add. We're going to support each other.โ
โFor me, it was the best decision to not race a single race before the Tour. I had time to prepare properly. I also switched coaches after Liรจge, so I didn't want to take any risks afterward, just to make sure things clicked well with my new coach. Everything went smoothly; I did everything needed to be in top shape.โ
โGoals? Win a stage, win the time trial, grab the yellow jersey on day one... Of course, I know what you all want us to say that I want to hit the final podium and then Florian will say the same... Naturally, we both want to achieve what we've already done, make the podium, but for me, if we can push forward without any negative energy, that'll be great for both of us. And we'll help each other as much as possible for a stage win."
โYou keep asking What can we learn from each other in riding skills and personal skills? Because we seem completely ditterent riders and persons?โ
โI think that is why we do not need to learn from each other, no? Just be yourself. It is like if l asked you, what do you want to learn from this journalist? Then I say to you, you are a bad journalist.โ
Journalist: We are not riding the Tour de
France together.
Remco: โNo, I know. That is why we go with two different characteristics and just do our own thing, in our own way, I guess. At least I am happy with who l am, so I do not know if I want to change that. I guess Lipo is also happy with who he is, so he also does not want to change that. It was a strange question.โ #TDF2026
