In an interview with L’Equipe this Saturday, former winner of the 2010 Tour de France Andy Schleck spoke about the character of the yellow jersey Jonas Vingegard, less expansive than that of great rival Tadej Pogacar. “Jonas is super shy, he doesn’t talk much and never lets go: he returns a form of arrogance. He gets out of the bus without saying anything, he is invisible, ”said the Luxembourger.
Words that did not go unnoticed in the caravan. Asked about this statement, Jonas Vingegaard did not mince his words after the eighth stage won by Mads Pedersen in Limoges: “He has the full right to express his opinion and I don’t care. That he called me arrogant is the last thing I expected. For the rest, I am calm, yes. I wouldn’t say I’m shy because I talk to riders in the peloton but I’m not the one who shouts the most.
