Jonas Vingegaard is the best rider at the moment when it comes to the Tour de France having won in both 2022 and 2023 even defeating the seemingly unbreakable Tadej Pogacar.

I’m yonas and welcome to the cycling day y visma now visma Lisa bike dominated the ground tours in the 2023 season winning all three but in 2024 it has been one to forget for the team early on with W Bernard and yis spingo experiencing very bad crashes and at the jir Talia leaving the race with one stage Victory and only half the team finishing and no GC success despite this yonas Bingo looks to be on the menend and is the best Rider at the moment when it comes to the toural France having won in both 2022 and 2023 even defeating the seemingly unbreakable Tad batcha however now in 2024 the future for the twoth time Champion to defend his title looks in question after his recovery from that Infamous tour of the Bas country crash with his rival Tad Racha looking more powerful than ever after his incredible juralia dominance which took not only the win but also six-stage victory along with it while team V Melisa bike remains tight lipped about whether yones mingle will compete in this year’s toor France after his severe crash he still looks like their plan a who they believe is the man who can win the race despite sustaining a broken collarbone ribs and a collapse lung in April Bingo’s recovery progress has been promising apparently in recent weeks Bengal made significant strides returning to the outdoor riding training on Helia Spanish terrain and now at an altitude camp in Tina however the two time defending toward the France Champion participation looks questionable as M Malisa bike said they were not willing to send him unless he was 100% fit despite this uncertainty the team remains optimistic even with Bingo absent at the doofan metto yenson and sep Cruz have been prepared to step up their DS nman said to cycling news the moral is good we are hopeful that Bingle will be fit in 4 weeks time but there is no news on that we cannot predict it yet but nevertheless we are a very strong team and even without yness we are able to do a really good to France neam man emphasized that the current hope is to have bingol start and compete for the win against tacha who is aiming for that dured tour double that hasn’t been done since Mark pan in 1998 and UAE in addition are assembling one of the strongest teams that we’ve seen in history as for the VIS meisa bike Team Mingo would be supported by cous the recent winner of the Welter espia and yenson who achieved some incredible Heights already this year taking the overall win at Paris n and even winning the D flerin as well as that as Ward crashed out before the Jalia he will also now be going to the Toral France but it is a recovering W vard it is not tip top W vard so w Vernard and bingo are in Sim boats in a way the team faith and vingo stems from his unparalleled work ethic and remarkable recovery capabilities and his incredible performances at the tour so far and his recent training progress indicates he can regain form quickly mingo’s present not only will boost the team’s morale but also provides a strategic advantage in terms of leadership and race Dynamics Ving has shown that he excels in the High Altitude climbs and that is something that has been the only weakness to the all conquering tadb catcher such as the C granon in 2022 and the C Lao in 2023 but the caveat there being that Pacha had a bad runup to the tour so Vis Malisa bike are taking a gamble you have to say with Bing go although he might not be 100% going into the total front he may be able to get stronger throughout the race and then when the big altitude stages come in that final week vingal will be able to be up there in contention and maybe throw the hammer down on Pacha let’s not forget vingo has a sensational record at the race finishing second in 2021 in his first appearance behind Tab gacha and then as mentioned winning in 2022 and 2023 however UAE will know that Bingo’s preparation is not ideal for the tour so they might use that Juggernaut team to push hard from the beginning of the race with the opening stages in Italy and even that galib stage Pacha does favor the more rolling ter rain so he will definitely try and put the hammer down on that bologna stage so there is a risk that Bingo will lose a lot of time in the opening week but if he can sustain that huge assault in the first week and still be within touching distance as the three final stages approach then potentially Bingo could turn the table on tyacha and the UAE Squad yet the ample Mountain support for UAE is certainly a concern for this molissa bike as they won’t be able to rival that UAE have the joggernauts of almea Yates and AO all of them who have finished on the podium whereas this Malisa bike can’t quite rival that with Jorgenson cous and wal vard although strong it’s not comparable in force in the mountains and maybe that will be the Achilles of the VIS Malisa bike Team if vingal is strong despite the teams having an apparent difference in level and Yus not being 100% fit this Melissa bike will gamble on Bingle getting better throughout the race and coming into form with paga potentially going the other way feeling the fatigue from the heavy season he had prior to the total France and being at the jro for this Melissa bike yonis mingal is the plan a and is worth a gamble as the plan B would be SE cus and potentially wouldn’t be the best chance of winning the race although his Welter spia certainly was a strong performance v m Lisa bike will not want a repeat of that bad luck at the J tyia and and hope that this will turn the tables despite the optimism from this Melisa bike not everyone shares this optimism B re the only other Daye besides wingal to have won the Tour France and also a former race owner of the team that used to be called team CSC or saxer Bank expressed his doubts about Bingo’s Readiness speaking to bt.dk least explained his concerns saying that I don’t know because we don’t know exactly where he stands visma does say that the important thing is that he can strength train and begin to have strength in his muscles and body so that he can train the strength training in tools that are now needed reys acknowledges mingle’s incredible talent and determination but remains skeptical about his ability to be 100% ready at the tour I think it will be difficult for him to be 100% ready but he is so crazy good that kid he has a will and an ability to improve that only a few people have as vingo continues his training with the team the decision about his participation will be made closer to the tour start Reese understands that V Malisa cautious approach but believes they could share more information without revealing all their secrets despite the doubts there are compelling reasons why Miss Melissa bike is still risking it all on Bingle his exceptional climbing ability his experience winning the Tour of France and mental toughness makes him a formidable Contender and the only way that they can defeat tacha his consistency in the high mountains ability to perform in the time Tri and resilience Under Pressure have been The crucial components to his previous Toral France victories and the only way to crack tatcha so despite the uncertainty surrounding vingal participation the team’s depth and strength keep their hopes alive for the to of France 2024 with the rising stars of cous and jensson ready to step up if mingo’s potential return does not happen but that’s been Bally it for this video make sure to hit the like button subscribe to the channel here on the cycling Dane and let me know if you think Bingle will be 100% ready for the total France as well and maybe win that last title but of course as always thank you for watching and I will see you in the next one
