Jonas is doing better than what 90% of the cycling analysts had expected. Its great to see this rivalry with Tadej. Remco also has been a surprise this stage.

I feel like im cheering for both pogi and jonas - just love the battle!

He's so cool under the insane media pressure. That's a real champion.

It's a miracle that Jonas is even able to ride this tour after that awful crash he had.

Jonas being Jonas, calmed, collected, understanding that this is a 3 weeks race. His time will come, feels like he will get better as the Grand Tour advances. Poggi went nuclear and gave his all and still only was able to put 50 seconds, that I think says a lot about how strong JVG is. No teammates around him, ,not 100% yet...and still able to keep the pace. But let's enjoy and respect all riders.

"My time will come" - that´s a strong message!

Such a polite, honest young man. Always answers questions to the best of his ability. With such difficult preperation he is doing remarkably well. It's going to be a great tour.

Wouldn’t write him off yet, looks strong, lets see the time trial.

Beide Favoriten sind sympathisch, faire sportliche Rivalen ❤

Both Pogacar and Jonas are total beasts - Pogacar is fearless and relentless in his attacks. The classiest cyclist I have ever witnessed but I think Jonas' body is a a complete freak of nature thing. If he starts getting more comfortable (without having raced since his crash - in which he broke ribs and lungs - he's still better than everyone else there except Pogacar) we might still have a race in our hands.

We're in such a great moment for cycling. Both Pogi and Jonas...also Remco, Roglic...just awesome. Whoever wins, the Tour wins.

Jonas will get stronger day by day as the race continues. Go Jonas goooo

Still doing great, considering his injuries. Hopefully he can get better through the tour and give us more spectacle!

I’m a Pogi suporter but i’m so happy that Jonas is showing that he can battle wit Pogi, last thing we want is a Tour identical to the Giro! May this be the greater tour of all time

I was doubting Vinny's chances, considering his wreak wasn't that long ago. BUT, he looks GREAT!!!...Should be an exciting TDF after all!!!

Great stage by both!

The most beautiful battle in new tour history, and we get to be spectators!!! Glorious!!

Vamos jonas, quedan muchas etapas y mucha carretera, mucha salud para lo que falta, saludos cordiales desde Colombia 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴

That UAE team is soooooo strong in climbing. Visma is missing Sepp big time. I’ve never seen them so thoroughly dominated in team tactics. This is truly becoming a fascinating tour to watch. No matter who wins were all winners as fans right now. Best of luck to all the riders 😊

Dude... this guy just came back from an injury. His performance is really good... give him a break.

"Bike racing is also downhill." Brilliant!!👍

It wasn't Jonas that was doing a terrible job downhill, it was Pogacar riding down like a rocket. Look at the other cyclists that followed, they couldn't gain many seconds on Pogacar either, despite them doing up to 90 km/h at some point! Pogacar said he had trained on this downhill previously - and it showed! Great riding from Pogacar, and it paid off for him.

Even if he loses minutes in the coming weeks, he still alive, he's back and there is always next year. Give it all and get to Paris in 1 piece.

as a slovenian fan of cycling, this is pretty scary to see for me, i didnt expect him to do so well either. at least we have an entertaining tdf as i hoped for, i wish everyone finishes without falls and injuries

Love this guy

We can look forward to a great rivalry this tour. Awesome to see evenepoel and Roglic in great condition too.

That last guy - starting every sentence with "YAAH" 😂😂😂

I am a big Pogi fan (well, I am Slovenian) but at the same time I really like Jonas. Hoping for a great battle until the end of tdf, this difference is far from decisive.

Translation = I limited my losses best I could. Spectacular effort today nevertheless considering how injured he was only a few months ago. He's a true champion!

He just called Pogi fat 😂

The Last Part of the second week und the third week are extremly hard. It is still all in.

So glad to see your form Jonas -- I agree your time will come. We are blessed to have two strong rivals who are also classy sportsmen and fierce competitors.

As a Croatian I like both, Jonas and Pogi. ☺️🩵

Considering the crash he had, I just want him to finish the race and go at it again next year.

Jonas will get stronger as the tour progresses. Strong enough? Well, that’s why we watch.

What a great an nice interview. Both Vingegard and Poggi are so cheering and so sportive

For Jonas to be the only one being able to follow Tadej, despite having no racing done, it’s exceptional! Not just the physical state but the mental state was also under question. Inspite of it, he’s outperforming everyone except Tadej, which says a lot about his athletic caliber! 👏

Looking back through the last few Tour's at Pogi & Jonas' rivalry, it's been excellent to see their mutual respect of, and kindness to one another 💪

We are so lucky to experience this rivalry!

True champion you got this jonas

He still has every ability. Jonas stay strong

I honestly think Visma are okay with how today played out, losing only eight seconds on the climb but this year UAE have three guys as strong as Visma’s best mountain domestique which is a lot scarier

che battaglia ! Grazie Jonas grazie Remco !

Shocking how great he is after injuries like that less than 3 months ago

What a humble champ.

Jonas, believe and achieve!

Damn, Vingegaard sounds like a master tactician, sticking and executing the plan. If Tadej rides like the Cannibal, Jonas is like Lemond who will go for the kill in the end.

Class act, rooting for Pogi but nothing but respect for both of them. Love the battle!

Jonas did greatttt! ❤

the bigger problem is that Jonas he no team mates that can support him...

I like Jonas, but Tadej is just amazing. He does every thing so well, and a great human being, even when loses. Come on tadej

What's apparent is UAE have the money and so the best team, especially in the climb. Jonas team couldn't keep up to help him, but considering he's coming back from injury he's giving Tadej a run for his money which is great to see and very entertaining!

Mountain stages should finish on a climb.

Go Jonas go! You got my support 💯

True champion!! He'll get back into form

nothing but respect for Jonas!

The man..humble champion returns from horrific crash.

Seriously, no team like Visma enters a stage planning to lose 2' and just basically throw the TdF in the garbage. Superb media training and confidence showed by Jonas.

There’s a fair degree of gamesmanship in this intvw. He’s done well tbf to even get to the race so it’s game on. Next big test is the TT on stage 7.

Great questions by Daniel. If one shows up to race it's lame to say you already knew you were not good.

First week….Jonas is right….only 50seconds behind when he came from 4 months out….We will see if he goes to up or not…

Its worrisome when Jonas said " my time will come" ...he seldom express stromg words let alone he is still tendimg to his injuries...war is coming these weeks....

Jonas will grow into the race it’s going to be close! Also a huge amount of credit should go to Carlos Rodriguez give him a year or two and he could challenge to win Grand Tours including TDF. Might even steal 3rd place on podium this year

Spoken like a true legend. 🎉

Still early days. High mountains awaits

I can’t understand how people can hate on him

2025 is gonna be jonas vingegaards year if he doenst crash and his teamates is doing well❤

Heroic ride from Jonas, credit where it's due. His time may come but Jumbo looks disastrous this Tour.

He sounds like he wants to convince himself of something...

Jonas is very humble, I think that is why fans are generally ok with him and he is one of the favorite. Pogacar is just too strong and crack the rest of riders on the climb

He will win easily... He's basicly at the level of pogacar... pogacar is really good at 2min efforts..unbeatable... Jonas will get him on the long steep climbs... It's nuts how good he is after his scary crash, dude was hospitalized for 11 days, 4.5 weeks ago

ITV some one yesterday breaking history in stage 3 bench sprint

Jonas is the best!!!

The Tour is long.. and we do our best...🚴🚴

Co można powiedzieć, gdy traci się na jednym etapie 50 sekund, poza tym , że tour jest długi i ich czas nadejdzie? To prawda , że zwycięstwo się jeszcze nie roztrzygnęło, ale oczekiwanie, że Jonas po tak ciężkiej kontuzji będzie w pełni sił na najważniejszy wyścig sezonu wygląda na życzeniowe podejście.

Riding this good after his massive crash is impressive itself

I agree with Jonas, he didn't lost too much because he is in great shape (90%?), then, I hope the fans *STOP WITH THE CRASH-WHINING* . The crash was 3 months ago *and NOW, he's ok* .

He says “to be honest” quite a lot. Another rider who used that phrase a bit too much was Chris Froome.

Pogacar has a great team but not so sure Jonas can say the same.

Ok hello you on the news 0:21

Remember guys, last years tour was won by 7 minutes. JV is normally the best in week 3 so this is far from over.

I think Jonas is using these races as an extended training program as opposed to a purely racing program - it is a change of mindset that builds both fitness but also confidence. Beware Tadej - all is not as it may seem.

I will go with Never believe to a cyclist ! Mind games are on.

All i have to say is "My time will come"

Can't believe the interviewer called jonas, Johan to grischa

It's still very likely that Jonas' form takes a bit more of a plummet later in the race. Look what Jumbo did to Pogi after he missed training with a broken wrist. That form dip will take time.

I love Jonas. But... he didn't come to the Tour to run second. He and the team had to think he was in top form and ready to challenge Pogacar. So, he and they are not happy that he's keeping it close. I hope he rides himself into better form and is stronger in week 3, like he usually is. Roglic also tends to get stronger in the last week of Grand Tours. It just may not matter if Tadej has a 5 minute lead by the time they get to the last week. He's just on another level right now.

Go jonas~~~!!!

I'm glad he's got back his form..but he's not the same rider with the same form. ..and I don't think h'll get better as the tour goes. i think it'll be a case of deteriorating as it goes.

I'm pretty sure, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't they using the same "gravity"...?? 😆

Seppy not being there really hurting Jonas

Jonas will grow. Luckily the big mountains are still far away and he will get at the top. Pogacar will lose energy

I assume it helps Pogačar on a long decent that he is heavier than Vingegaard?

You could tell JV struggled towards the end 😮 I can not only see Pogi smashing him but also remco

They never expected to lose 2 minutes, he's just trying damage control with the media.

It’s only stage 4. We have 2 1/2 more weeks of bicycle racing to go.

Pogacar is just doing better because of his team. And he's fat ~ 😜 Quick reminder: This was day 4 of 3 weeks.

Week 3 scenario: Interviewer: Jonas, you're trailing behind by 9 minutes now Jonas: I had actually expected 10

What a scolding Almeida gave to Juan Ayuso 🤭😅 At this point, with just 4 stages, Vingegaard has done very well. From Pogačar as expected. The Dane must still survive in the time trial to have any chance. Vingegaard lost more on the descent and on the false plane because they were going 90 km/ph. Only 11" on Col du Galibier. He did well not to despair The good thing is that Roglič, Remco, Carlos Rodríguez, Ayuso showed up. This type of ports is not a problem for Evenepoel, his Achilles tendon will be the chained ports. He must have a big advantage in the time trials if he wants to make the podium. Ayuso. If the "gregarious" does not explode, he is not really a gregarious. Mikel Landa's problem is that he will lose a minute in the time trials. But he is a great physical and moral support for the Belgian. Tadej's only rival at the moment is energy dosage. Allez Allez Jonas Vingegaard 💜

as I also expected. Pogacar needed 2-4 min advance after stage 4 to win the tour. Lets hope he actually gets more time on friday time trial so week 3 will be more interesting.
