Rome, 10 November 2024 - jonas vingegaard and his sparse presence in the calendar which does not make his detractors or his potential allies happy: the Dane's absence from several key events, such as the World, is also starting to displease his own countrymen, with the expert Magnus Cort Nielsen which speaks for the thoughts of many.

  The runner of Uno-X Mobility it was intercepted by the portal's microphones Extrabladet.dk, to which he has talked about the world championship appointment 2025, far, very far away, but already tempting for many. "Obviously, the better the team that lines up, the more fun it is to race. Without thinking that it is a shame to participate without your best cards: also for this reason, it would be nice to see vingegaard at the start: nice for us, but also for him, who would be doing something different, racing for once in a one-day race. Usually he only focuses on stage races, but I'm sure he would do well there too". In short, the message from Cort Nielsen it's very clear and joins the many that have already reached the ears of people in recent years vingegaard, accused of focusing his entire season only on Tour de France: a choice that, in the perennial head to head with Tadej pogacar, tips the balance of sympathy towards the latter. "In the past Jonas had to make choices and, clearly, I know that for many people giving up the World it's a big sacrifice. But for him it's different: for vingegaard il Tour de France it's very important because he always takes part in it to win it, not like me who fights to the max for a stage. He sees things from a totally different point of view and, from this perspective, I realize that in the end he makes the choice he thinks is the right one and that I - he concludes Cort Nielsen - I am required to comply". In fact, very few paths like the one in the next World they seem to marry with pure climbers: a Kigali, in fact, the meters of altitude difference will be well 5.475. Numbers that in Rwanda they almost seem to cut out the 'simple' men from Classics the prerogative of the best climbers in the world, such as pogacar but also precisely vingegaard, who is less explosive than his rival in the sprint but perhaps, in the long run, more consistent. It is no coincidence that last winter the Slovenian, by his own admission, worked on high-mileage climbs to try to improve in the specialty and, results in hand, the targeted training seems to have produced its fruits. Then there are those like vingegaard, even with the very big alibi of this year given by the terrible fall that occurred at Tour of the Basque Country, never leaves his comfort zone called Tour de FranceWho knows what in the 2025 music can't change with 'unreleased dishes' on the menu as Giro d'Italia e World: if in the first case the yes party is growing, in the second the question mark, despite the invitation of Cort Nielsen, it's still pretty big.
