ground in Italy with writer and commentator Bastian Emil Goldschmidt, witnessing Vingegaard win five stages and control the race with help from his Visma-Lease a Bike teammates.<\/p>\n<p

the Tour de France. Holm believes that should give Vingegaard the conviction to take on Poga\u010dar in July.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/gmvwmhupgi1715762145.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] block h-[18px] w-auto shrink-0 brightness-0 invert\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full min-h-[200px] lg:min-h-[330px] relative overflow-hidden bg-black\" data-jwp-carousel-container>\n<div class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full items-center justify-center bg-white\" data-jwp-carousel-fallback><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/gmvwmhupgi1715762145.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] max-h-12 w-auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;He beat Poga\u010dar twice already hasn&#8217;t he?

But everyone can have a bad day. There&#8217;s a reason why nobody won the Tour eight times: sooner or later, something will unfortunately happen to Pogi. It can be a bad day, a crash or something that changes the race. So even if Jonas loses two or three minutes on an early mountain stage, he has to keep trying to beat him.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jMsjtrEtyzUziuYfLQMCod-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jMsjtrEtyzUziuYfLQMCod-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">&#8216;He is riding like a 1980s GC contender&#8217; \u2013 Brian Holm believes Jonas Vingegaard is turning back the clock in bid for his first Giro d&#8217;Italia victory<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qn3AngudTAKLpXyCQ7yRqB-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qn3AngudTAKLpXyCQ7yRqB-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">&#8216;Better than ever&#8217; &#8211; Jonas Vingegaard reveals two-year recovery from Itzulia crash, now on track to challenge Tadej Poga\u010dar in the Tour de France<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/UZ39zyLMYUAJX79pjXATv-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/UZ39zyLMYUAJX79pjXATv-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Will Jonas Vingegaard&#8217;s victory at the Giro d&#8217;Italia and new preparation strategy for the Tour de France be enough to beat Tadej Poga\u010dar?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Jonas is not the big favourite for this year&#8217;s Tour, that&#8217;s for sure, but that&#8217;s probably an advantage for him.

To win all three Grand Tours, when you see the names of who did it before him, it&#8217;s honestly still hard to understand that somebody can do it in the modern era, especially a Dane.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I think he is the biggest sports person in Danish sports history. I cannot see who is better. It&#8217;s hard to compare with football and we had Michael Laudrup who was a great player but Jonas has achieved something far more historical in cycling than Michael ever did in football.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Holm is known for his colourful career, his love of life, his own doping confession and work as a sport director with the likes of Mark Cavendish.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Vingegaard is very different but Holm suggested that he is widely admired in Denmark.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;He&#8217;s not exactly a stand up comedian but that&#8217;s OK,&#8221; Holm said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Mads Petersen is more of a personality, he&#8217;s more outspoken, he does television and commercials. But everybody in Denmark admires Jonas and some people love him for the way he is reserved and lives a quiet life.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;He&#8217;s probably become famous also because he doesn&#8217;t say too much. When he does say something it blows up quickly. He&#8217;s famous for winning the Tour de France and now for making history by winning all three Grand Tours. I think that&#8217;s a pretty good reason to be famous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The world\u2019s biggest bike race deserves world-class coverage.

ground in Italy with writer and commentator Bastian Emil Goldschmidt, witnessing Vingegaard win five stages and control the race with help from his Visma-Lease a Bike teammates.<\/p>\n<p

the Tour de France. Holm believes that should give Vingegaard the conviction to take on Poga\u010dar in July.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/gmvwmhupgi1715762145.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] block h-[18px] w-auto shrink-0 brightness-0 invert\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full min-h-[200px] lg:min-h-[330px] relative overflow-hidden bg-black\" data-jwp-carousel-container>\n<div class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full items-center justify-center bg-white\" data-jwp-carousel-fallback><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/gmvwmhupgi1715762145.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] max-h-12 w-auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;He beat Poga\u010dar twice already hasn&#8217;t he?

But everyone can have a bad day. There&#8217;s a reason why nobody won the Tour eight times: sooner or later, something will unfortunately happen to Pogi. It can be a bad day, a crash or something that changes the race. So even if Jonas loses two or three minutes on an early mountain stage, he has to keep trying to beat him.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jMsjtrEtyzUziuYfLQMCod-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jMsjtrEtyzUziuYfLQMCod-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">&#8216;He is riding like a 1980s GC contender&#8217; \u2013 Brian Holm believes Jonas Vingegaard is turning back the clock in bid for his first Giro d&#8217;Italia victory<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qn3AngudTAKLpXyCQ7yRqB-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qn3AngudTAKLpXyCQ7yRqB-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">&#8216;Better than ever&#8217; &#8211; Jonas Vingegaard reveals two-year recovery from Itzulia crash, now on track to challenge Tadej Poga\u010dar in the Tour de France<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/UZ39zyLMYUAJX79pjXATv-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/UZ39zyLMYUAJX79pjXATv-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Will Jonas Vingegaard&#8217;s victory at the Giro d&#8217;Italia and new preparation strategy for the Tour de France be enough to beat Tadej Poga\u010dar?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Jonas is not the big favourite for this year&#8217;s Tour, that&#8217;s for sure, but that&#8217;s probably an advantage for him.

The Tour de France starts in Barcelona on Saturday July 4.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-HZEMn6LDXvBqEEkoqW7Nn\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-HZEMn6LDXvBqEEkoqW7Nn slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__header\">Get The Leadout Newsletter<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<footer class=\"newsletter-form__footer \">By submitting your information you agree to the Terms &amp; Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.<\/footer>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Vingegaard is reserved and prefers to keep a low profile but Holm believes he is the most successful sports person in the history of Danish sport.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Bjarne Riis was feted as the first Dane to win the Tour de France in 1996 before later confessing to doping.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Jonas&#8217; achievements are 10 times bigger than those of Bjarne Riis.

To win all three Grand Tours, when you see the names of who did it before him, it&#8217;s honestly still hard to understand that somebody can do it in the modern era, especially a Dane.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I think he is the biggest sports person in Danish sports history. I cannot see who is better. It&#8217;s hard to compare with football and we had Michael Laudrup who was a great player but Jonas has achieved something far more historical in cycling than Michael ever did in football.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Holm is known for his colourful career, his love of life, his own doping confession and work as a sport director with the likes of Mark Cavendish.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Vingegaard is very different but Holm suggested that he is widely admired in Denmark.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;He&#8217;s not exactly a stand up comedian but that&#8217;s OK,&#8221; Holm said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Mads Petersen is more of a personality, he&#8217;s more outspoken, he does television and commercials. But everybody in Denmark admires Jonas and some people love him for the way he is reserved and lives a quiet life.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;He&#8217;s probably become famous also because he doesn&#8217;t say too much. When he does say something it blows up quickly. He&#8217;s famous for winning the Tour de France and now for making history by winning all three Grand Tours. I think that&#8217;s a pretty good reason to be famous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The world\u2019s biggest bike race deserves world-class coverage.

To win all three Grand Tours, when you see the names of who did it before him, it&#8217;s honestly still hard to understand that somebody can do it in the modern era, especially a Dane.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I think he is the biggest sports person in Danish sports history. I cannot see who is better. It&#8217;s hard to compare with football and we had Michael Laudrup who was a great player but Jonas has achieved something far more historical in cycling than Michael ever did in football.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Holm is known for his colourful career, his love of life, his own doping confession and work as a sport director with the likes of Mark Cavendish.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Vingegaard is very different but Holm suggested that he is widely admired in Denmark.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;He&#8217;s not exactly a stand up comedian but that&#8217;s OK,&#8221; Holm said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Mads Petersen is more of a personality, he&#8217;s more outspoken, he does television and commercials. But everybody in Denmark admires Jonas and some people love him for the way he is reserved and lives a quiet life.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;He&#8217;s probably become famous also because he doesn&#8217;t say too much. When he does say something it blows up quickly. He&#8217;s famous for winning the Tour de France and now for making history by winning all three Grand Tours. I think that&#8217;s a pretty good reason to be famous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The world\u2019s biggest bike race deserves world-class coverage.
