I’ll keep it in the premise that one day someone may want it. Could be a collectors item in a few years…

Yes hot and windy up here. Did just under 30 miles and fair bit of climbing, not as much as yours though.
I cut my ride short as the last 5 mile or so is uphill over exposed moors into a headwind. Glad I did.

Wish I was outside.... Rain for weeks here. Anyway the TDF result today, I think someone is lying on his weight his profile.... TT bike uphill at 7.6w/kg he must have learned on bkool.

People living in his region of Denmark are known as good climbers. 😁

I don‘t think he spends much time at home. He left Glyngoere before the Dauphiné and only comes back after the Tour. AFAIK he doesn’t have anything (races) planned for the fall. Not going to the Worlds unlike many of his fellow TdF-countrymen either.
Don’t remember any of the other GT winners doing much either after the tour(s), except maybe the Olympics.

4 blood tests the last 48 hours for Vingegaard, the last one 1 hour before start of this stage.

I genuinely don’t think he or any of them are doping to be fair. I hope that doesn’t prove me to be very naive! I think the testing is much more rigid and efficient these days.
But if I were to dope. I think I’d probably take my chances when I was training rather than during a race as you have more chance of it clearing you system before your tested. I think they get tested automatically if they win a stage so you’d be pretty mental to dope during a race.

I think the top 3 overall/stage (or more) are tested every day. I don’t think think he is doped. He just doesn’t strike me as a guy who would do that. But hey, neither did some of the old school dopers.
Jonas has long been touted for his spectacular physics and for some reason, now that he downright beats Pog, the pog fans et el. starts attacking/questioning him.
Need we remind people that he was second in TdF 2021, won in 2022 plus was runner up to (his captain) Roglic in numerous (stage) races across the same years?
Given the mob logic, I suspect Pog was doped to up over his ears when he won his first 2 Tours, right?? Maybe Allan Pieper was his supplier, and since he left UAE, that supply dried out… 😜
Extremely difficult to dope these days. As I understand it, the authorities build a database of your blood results going back years. Essentially a Biological Passport, any significant variation from the base line data will be flagged up.
That's why Froome was awarded the Vuelta title many years after coming 2nd place.
