Cycling - Tour de France 2024 - Jonas Vingegaard : "If this is my bad day then I'm happy"
Et si la troisième semaine était celle de trop pour un Jonas Vingegaard qui, rappelons-le, était sur un lit d'hôpital il y a un peu plus de trois mois de cela ? Après la 17e étape du Tour de France, disputée ce mercredi entre Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux et SuperDévoluy, on est en droit de se poser la question tant le double vainqueur sortant de la Grande Boucle a semblé fatigué dans le final. S'il est apparu tout d'abord plutôt fringant lorsque Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) s'est levé de sa selle dans le col du Noyer, le Danois a ensuite eu un gros coup de moins bien, ce qui a permis au Slovène de s'envoler... mais surtout à Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) de le distancer, et ce pour la première fois depuis le début de ce 111e Tour.

00:00Well, with how they rode, no, but of course when Trek then attacked, I was thinking it
00:09might be a possibility and yeah, he attacked, so yeah.
00:16Whenever someone else is making it hard, then you have to expect that he will also go.
00:21And then Remco goes down the road and Pogacar sits on your wheel, did you feel a bit ganged
00:26up on at that point?
00:28No, I mean, yeah, I thought actually that they would close it, but yeah, then I had
00:35my teammates, I think I have to thank my teammates today a lot actually.
00:39Also on the top there when Christophe helped me, but also later on, they helped me very
00:44well.
00:45We talked a lot earlier in the tour about how your form was going to, or you hoped that
00:49it was going to improve as the race went on, do you feel that you've still got energy left
00:55in the tank, that it is still improving?
00:57Yeah, I mean, I still feel like I'm improving, getting better and today was maybe not my
01:04best day, but still, once in a while you have a bad day or whatever and if this is my bad
01:11day, then I'm happy.
