As a fan and follower of the Danish cycling scene, I have seen Jonas, when he was just a junior rider. I didn't notice him that much at first, to be honest; mostly that he looked very young (because he was so small) compared to the other guys. But we did notice that he was always there in the first group of riders, although he rarely won, because Danish races are flat and getting draft is vital, and he didn't have a finishing punch like some of his bigger rivals. Later we heard about his climbing skills, esp. that first Strava climb, and it made sense that he had always been up there with the best. This is in stark contrast to a guy like Mads Pedersen, who basically has the same look and build today as when he was 15. He dominated junior races, whereas Jonas really had to work hard with the flat, windy races in Denmark, where he competed with guys 10-20 cms taller and 20 kgs bigger. I think this past is a big part of the rider, we see today. He learned the hard way to get punched and shoved by bigger guys (junior races can be brutal, once they're on the road!), how to ride in a group, and how to suffer. I heard he almost quit cycling around the age of 16-17, because he lacked motivation (a very common problem, we lose many young guys around that age), but good for him that he persevered.
this is my 1st time ever watching the TdF so I am on a sharp learning curve, thanks to Netflix for wetting my appetite. I am so blown away by Jonas V. and this video only adds to my deep depth of inspiration and admiration for this truly amazing and impressive young man. He is not only a great cyclist but a gentleman with a gigantic heart, grounded in love and deep sense of humanity and humility. A born leader with still more untapped potential & someone who can change the world, one perception at a time. One only wonders what more he will accomplish

No arguments at all with what you said but I see the same attributes in many of these young riders, men and women. I greatly admire Jonas and I hope he has a lot more big victories ahead.
JV slowing down for Pogacar set a fine example for all people who engage in competitive sports.
USA cyclist here who is very impressed by Jonas as a huge engine dominating rivals , but wonderful knowledge of race strategy and lastly a real fair player on the roads. Many successful events to come for this rare man of racing.
I litteraly binged watch the Netflix series on TDF yesterday and didnt know anything about Jumbo Visma or Vingegaard. What a stud rider and looks to be an even better human being! Full package! ill be rooting for him in the future!

I follow cycling a lot and i do ride myself. Top cyclists need a bit of help. Especially at the speeds that they ride, the climbing. The problem is oxygen,muscle fartigue, Calories burnt. Nutrition is one of the most important factor. How you give your body so less food when it needs more, but that less food contains a lot in it. What is in it, i have no idea. I think they should be allowed to take even more. The human body can only do so much. Clean or not clean, i was entertained. crazy Tour, wonderful to watch these human machines ride.

At the age of sixteen, many young people find it hard to be disciplined. As stated, he was given the role so he can be injected with a structure of daily life. So yes, things like waking up before dawn, getting to work on time, doing hours of a sometimes repetitive task does help with discipline. Perhaps you are right it's indentured servitude but with hindsight being 20 20, it seems that the work (could be a car assembly or anything really, perhaps fish factory was most convenient in Denmark) instill the work ethic in him. A yellow jersey as proof in the pudding.

Bjarne Riis is actually not out of the history books. He is still the official winner of the tdf 1996. Armstrong lost his titels because Floyd Landis told his tale before the 8 year statue of limitations had passed, and because the US doping agency decided to annul all his winnings from 1998 onwards. Also, everybody was doped back then so it didn't really make much of a difference competition wise. I'm not pro doping. I'm just a realist. And a lover og the TDF. The sad thing about doping is, once someone starts using a method that can't be traced everybody kinda has to follow if they want to compete. I hope the sport is clean now. But it doesn't matter to me anymore. If someone is using something untraceable, they all are. So in a crazy way it ends up being fair game. Also, the TDF has a history of crazy measures being used. Because it's the toughest and most insane sport event in the world. Back in the days they took all sorts of drugs. And before it was televised they cheated by taking the train, getting lifts from a car it they could or getting pulled by the service cars. The TDF has always been full of villains and heroes. Embrace it. Or watch a different sports event:-) There are so many good clean sports to choose from. I personally like the craziness og the TDF;-)
