Vingegaard Goes 1X Single Chain Ring On Tour de France 2023 Bike

Jonas Vingegaard says that he's going to keep using SRAM's 1X single chain ring in the Criterium du Dauphine as he builds toward the Tour de France 2023, only using a double chain ring if it's a steep stage. For more on the Dauphine:

Biggest plus of a 1x setup: a carbon chainring looks 🔥

I guess they have so many cogs on the rear these days, you don't really need more than one on the front! When I started riding in the 70's, all you could get was 5 cogs and 2 chainrings, so 10 speeds. Now you get more than that even with a single chainring.

A small chainring is of no use to Jonas. Nice flex.

I’m waiting until someone uses a single speed.😁

1X single chain? can you point us to a bike that has a double or triple chain?
