Jonas Vingegaard (Team Visma | Lease A Bike) is still there! If we could believe a bad form after his missed time trial during the 5th stage of the Tour de Francethe Danish still reassured us a little more this Friday by taking second place in the 7th stage and his demanding arrival at the top of Mûr-de-Bretagne. However, the work of his team has still not borne fruit since Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates XRG) did not concedes anything, quite the contrary since it won the stage. But neither he nor the rest of his team despair and have the intention of continuing their offensive strategy.

“I made mistakes … it could have been tighter”
Beaten by Tadej Pogacar In the sprint, we would have thought that Jonas Vingegaard was going to be satisfied with his performance. It is not so, if the Danish actually reassured himself on his condition, he still emits some regrets on arrival, in particular on his sprint: “I had good legs today, the team kept me out of danger and at the front, we ran as we wanted. 2nd, normally I would say that I am satisfied, but I think I made some mistakes in the sprint. You never know if it would have changed something but when you made mistakes, you would have liked to make different. Tadej and it could have been tighter.
After already a week of racing in the north of France, it is time to draw the first conclusions for everyone, but also to establish a plan of attack for the last two weeks of racing: “I have the feeling that it was already seven days for the general classification, at least six. It was a difficult first week so I am curious to see what it will give in the third week, when we look more closely, I think it is a very difficult tour of France. You can have days without, I had one day without and normally I do not have many bad days so obviously it is not ideal but I always think that week.”
