I like Jonas because he is said that he would have done the same thing Tadej had done if he were in his shoes. True competitor.

While I admire Jonas’ riding, I thought him to be somewhat boring. After hearing so many thoughtful and interesting interviews from him this year and combined his comeback from injury, his personality is shining through. He doesn’t need me as a fan but I am now and can’t wait to see a healthy Jonas in future competitions.

Imagine being mad at a rider winning too much. Keep riding your best Tadej and Jonas!

[samholder]

thanks, Jonas. I hate these comments about Pogi. It's a competition. You're a warrior.

Such an inspiration this guy. It brought me back on my racebike, after injuries and months of backpain. Thank you, Jonas.

He is a great champion.. chapeau..see you next year 💪

After the horrific crash Jonas had earlier this year, he is victorious for simply being present in the Tour de France.

I am a really big fan of Pogačar but I like Vingegaard as well. He honestly said "I would probably do it the same".

When I saw Jonas waiting for Tadej after he went wide and crashed in a corner like 2 tours ago I knew the kind of man he is..im proud to be his fan... Also utmost respect for Tadej he took the L's like a champ... Its his time now

[leodesforges]

Class act. I’m officially routing for Jonas now.

[dichaelovic]

Its crazy how strong Tadej is this year. Its like not even close to the others when he goes. Also Jonas had 1 month of preperation because of the horrifying crash, so you cant really blame him for not following Tadej.

It's the TdF. You cannot ask anyone to give you the win. The better should win is a simple rule that Jonas understands fully. Appreciate.

[LAWRENCEJMSIGUA]

For Tadej Pogacar to achieve greatness and the Tour Double he needed to be Challenged by another Champion like Jonas Vingegaard

[BenjaminUbayyed-potc]

Jonas should feel like a boss. I never liked him but he won me over this year

[malletandchisel]

It’s a competition. It’s the Tour De France.I wouldn’t expect anyone to sit up for anybody else. Wishing Jonas the best for a full recovery and see you next year, hopefully!

[oliversbybee]

Next year should be a dog fight between these two.

[victordub]

ive got a lot more respect for jonas after this TDF... hope he comes back stronger next year

[christhornton]

It's been great watching these guys this year. And in years past. They are both gentlemen who respect and seemingly like each other. Fierce competitors, but decent guys.

[ElectrickSnow]

Bicycling magazine published an article on July 23 saying that Ving's second place finish after sustaining serious injuries and not competing for three months leading up to the tour was probably the greatest performance in the history of the TDF. I would agree.

It bogles my mind how a human body can go from what we saw at the top of Isola 2000-a completely empty and exhausted Jonas-to what he was able to do today just 24 hours later.

If I did one quarter of the ride they did today at my ftp, I would be toast for days. 😬
