Congratulations to Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark on winning the 2023 Tour de France for the second year in a row. With this title, Jonas becomes the first Danish rider to win the Tour de France twice, surpassing Bjarne Riis, who won back in 1996. As Vingegaard and Jumbo-Visma celebrate deep into the Parisian night, we ask the question…how did Jonas Vingegaard win the Tour de France?

    1. I don't care who you were rooting for in this race. Despite not losing time to a bike change, and riding the course decidedly better than his main rival, nobody crushes their near peer rival by 6 1/2 seconds per mile without some unsanctioned assistance. This is even reinforced by the time gap placed by Pogachar over WVA's impressive 3rd place finish.

    2. The team announced that Jonas will be heading to race the Vuelta with Roglic. Will this plan backfire and be the catalyst for Roglic wanting to leave the team? I can’t imagine Jonas playing domestique when he can win. The same for Roglic.

    3. It's doping when someone you don't like wins. It's skill and hard work when someone you root for wins. Such a shame Pogacar's fanboys act so different than Pogacar. Great tour from Vingegaard and TJV. Congrats to the back 2 back champion.

    4. It was really about the 1 day when Tadej fell.
      Well, plus the ITT.
      Guessing the fall really took a lot out of him. Maybe the results are the same regardless, but a shame to see something like a fall affecting the race. In three weeks of racing though, there’s probably lots that influences the outcomes outside of the individual rider’s efforts on the bikes.

    5. Definite Pogo-Fanboy, your heart bleeds just narrating this video❣💔 Sorry Ewan! . . . . yours truly Vikingegaard Skeletor!

    6. I’m a big Pogi fan, but I think Jonas is a better GC rider, currently anyway.

      Both are super talents but Jonas has a skill set more suited to the tour. For example, he’s better on the long hot high altitude climbs, which usually decide the tour.

      Pogi will always beat Jonas in a flat sprint and explosive power but as we saw this year and last year, that’s not enough.

      I think for Pogi to beat Jonas next year he needs to cut back some of the spring classic races and do more prep for the tour. Jonas does not do any one day races, he is completely focussed on the tour and only does the GC races. That’s part of what makes him so tough to beat in the tour.

      I think Pogi is the stronger rider all things equal bar none. His versatility has been demonstrated before against Jonas. That’s not to take anything away from Jonas as he is a physiological marvel as well, however Pogi is something truly one in a 100 million physiologically due to his recovery rate.

    7. Sepp Kuss is one of the main reasons Jumbo got their pink and yellow jerseys this year – dude should be allowed to wear a Peach jersey all year for his effort

    8. I dont mind the TJV team and a fan of Wally van Aert, Sepp and Primoz so im glad Jonas V won. I cant warm to the Pog and the UAE team as a whole.
