Like any Tour de France champion, Jonas Vingegaard‘s path to victory began well before the three-week, 2,000-mile route that, this year, spanned four different countries.
Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark won his first Tour de France title on Sunday after coming out on top of a thrilling three-week duel with defending champion Tadej Pogacar.
PARIS: After winning seven of eight titles from 2012-2019, Ineos-Grenadiers have been kicked out of contention since Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard seized power in brutal fashion and there is little chance that the British outfit will regain their crown in the near future.
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) gave Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) a fright on the final stage at the Tour de France with an attack from the gun. Tradition dictates that the yellow jersey is not attacked on the run-around Paris, with the day instead a party procession before the sprinters race for glory on the Champs-Elysees. Ad/> Despite this, Pogacar decided to have a bit of fun on Stage 21.
PARIS : In a sport that has a heavy doping past, any Tour de France winner is being put under scrutiny and Jonas Vingegaard was no exception after Saturday's final time trial.
ROCAMADOUR, France: Jonas Vingegaard survived the “heart attack” of a near fall on Saturday’s individual time-trial to virtually wrap up the Tour de France and now only needs to cross the Champs-Elysees finish line in Paris on Sunday to guarantee the champion’s yellow jersey. Team Jumbo’s Vingegaard tops the overall standings 3min 34sec ahead of two-time defending champion Tadej Pogacar, while Geraint Thomas of Ineos Grenadiers, the 2018 winner, stands third at 8min 13sec. Frenchman David Gaudu of FDJ and Aleksandr Vlasov of Bora round out the top five ahead of Sunday’s stage to Paris which is traditionally a ceremonial run.
Adam Blythe says that Jumbo-Visma have torn up the rulebook with a performance of pure dominance at the Tour de France, and reserved special praise for their Belgian talisman Wout van Aert. The Dutch team could finish the Tour de France with the yellow, green and polka dot jerseys, and – depending on the victor on Stage 21 — seven stage wins in an almost unprecedented show of excellence at the French Grand Tour. Ad/> Jumbo-Visma secured a one-two on the Stage 20 time trial after Vingegaard survived a scare late on to finish second behind the irrepressible Van Aert.
Stage 21 is a 116km stage that will celebrate Jonas Vingegaard as yellow jersey holder before a final dash to the finish line. With Vingegaard comfortably ahead and as tradition dictates, there will be no challenge for his yellow jersey as the Jumbo-Visma rider heads towards the last yards.
